This is what LA does to skid plates

[slammin.e28]

You're doing it wrong. It's possible to scare the willies out of your passengers without breaking the speed limit by taking corners faster than they're used to...

Rule of thumb, the yellow signs with a speed and and arrow, you double that. Those are for trucks and old people.

I wouldn't mind one of those...

The peerless skid plate is by far the best on the market for our cars. Robert has a video somewhere of him jacking the car up a couple feet, sliding a cinder block under the skid plate, and dropping the car on it smashing the block to pieces. No damage to the plate or pan.

what is the peerless plate?

Im debating a peerless "heavy duty" skid plate for my m42.
From reading it seems to fail less than the race skidz.

Slow down and be smarter, had no issues with either M42 or M50 in my e30 on Ireland Stage 3's and also ground controls.

Learn how to drive......

I have yet to own a m42 car but ive had low e30's and I also live in LA. But I have yet to ever crack a oil pan.

You car isnt that low ether. Just might need new struts and stiffer springs for slow vert :D

+1. Take all corners at or slightly above speed limit = maximum fun capabilities.

Never go over the speed limit. My gf says my driving is boring.

Slow down maybe? Just because you have a skid-plate does not mean rally the fuck out of it.

M42 Pans are like $50 a piece and readily available Brand new.

When I had my 318is i carrried around a spare in the trunk. They take half an hour to change.

You need higher spring rates, better shocks/struts, stop driving like its a f1 car in the middle of a jungle, and better luck next time.

I think you just suck at driving. Everywhere has shitty roads.

This.

I've driven around Baltimore city PLENTY of times, caught air even and my skidplate doesn't even have a dent.
