    First batch sold out pretty quickly. I have few more left for selling and listed them also on ebay. I had to raise the price there (because of greedy ebay and its fees). But everyone who will buy directly can have it for 90€ (shipping included).

        Has anybody on here received theirs yet? Hate to be chicken, but I'd like a first hand testimonial before I pony up the Paypal from Estonia.

              I bought one of the first batch.
              I just received mine a day ago. One edge on mine is damaged from when it was being made, it looks like, but no biggy. The skid plate is very sturdy and thick, i could use it as a ramp. I really dislike them self locking nuts that it came with though. No hole for oil drain, no big deal... just buy a quick drain valve with the nipple for a hose extension.
              Legit seller on my list!!!

                  i also had concerns about the lack of oil drain hole and i do know what quick valve your talking about but you still need to be able to reach the valve to release it so even if you had the one with the hose adaptor your still need to reach the actual valve to actuate it and thus will probably need to drill a hole anyway.

                  that asid im still interested in this if op can confirm he has another batch ready

                  also anybody have pics of one mounted yet?

                        this plate will still have the same problems as the EJ one, and aluminum will grind away much faster than a steel plate FYI

                            If your hands are longer than 30 cm then I believe you will not have problem to reach the valve ;)

                              Fits under M50 ;)
                              On my revshift M42 motor mounts it barely touches the back of the oil pan. Gonna swap in M5 mounts on Monday.

                                Did you use spacers between the skid and steering rack?
