Slammed 24v e30s?

[mo diesil]

how on earth did you break a 1/8inch thick steel plate into 3 pieces?

did you run over a plasma cutter?

hitting it off the ground..... ive since sold the car but ill find some pics it snapped where it mounted to the PS rack and basicly right down the middle i know im not the only person to experience this..

around where the plate sat when it was still intact

back to my question about the e30 motor werks serve duty plate ?

I think you need to just be carfull my m20s oil pan is 1.25 inches off the ground and I manage just fine my exhaust is .5 inches in the lowest spot if that scrapes then I know I'm in trouble LOL. Then again the roads in AZ are actually fairly maintained at least in west Phoenix/Glendale area.

Maybe instead of fucking up the geometry and alignment of your drivetrain and suspension, why dont you not dump the car, and raise it a bit?
Seems pretty retarded to shim your motor up or fuck with the subframe...dont you think?

So I measured mine and the skidplate is 2.5" from the ground. I guess that's not even close compared to some of you, lol! I have big boy sized tires though.

yea, two birds one stone. Reduce the tendancy to roll, and bring that rollcenter back to ground level or above.

OR.... build an extremely burly skidplate and be afraid to drive it around town.

Iceland has pretty nice roads, or?

our roads are that shitty i need something like this as a skid



I am (cant believe i am saying this) RAISING my 24v e30 atm, it would not last a week with either skids with the pan less than 2.5" on our roads

[Dominic49]

anyone use the e30motorwerks serve duty plate? i had a raceskids one and broke it into 3 pieces

I use it and it takes a beating, on and off the track

[z31maniac]

Precisely why I like 17s on an E30.

You can get rid of the gap between tire/fender AND maintain a more reasonable ride height.

by off the track do you mean, about to eat a wall...or just on normal streets? j/k ;)

[agustingig]

what springs are you running?

Running 4 inch ebay springs and billy's, Got the adjuster all the way down but i want to go lower,, Do you think i could raise the motor like 3-5cm's? And lower the car the same amount? I survived a whole summer on shitty icelandic roads with the pan at this height, But the problem is i wanna go lower next summer.. If i would raise the motor, Drop the car so the pan is at same height and get a massive skidplate, Dont you guys think id be good? :$

Didn't Iceland go bankrupt?

not as bad as you guys are about to

[kalib0y]
