Absorbanut at that low no plate will save your oil pan. From the looks of that plate its getting more then scraped on the ground.

Yes, there's some very bad road work down here....I suppose I was expecting it to protect me from some raised objects or potholes I might miss. Not a big deal, car is nowhere as low curently

I will have to say. My raceskids has saved my ass more times then not.
My drive way is rocky and uneven so it constantly scrapes, hit some bad potholes the other night for the first time, and a huge bud light can and it exploded all over the bottom of the car.
Maybe one day it will catch up with me, but I might weld a piece of metal to the oil pan for extra strength.

I've thought of doing that many times when I had my raceskids pan.
Welding 2 long pieces of metal downwards to add some strength. Broke the plate before ever implementing it

I do like the aspect of being able to jack the car up from the skidplate with an HIK one... that would be rad.

I don't even run a plate anymore after bending two of them.

I really don't want to weld an HIK one to my rails, but maybe I will later on when I drive the car more often. :o

What Would FredK Do?

[AbsorbantNut]

Is the Red46 any better? Return the Red46, buy an HIK Fab skidplate and never break another pan again.

I vote this if you want a permanent solution. I had a red46 skid plate and it crumpled/bowed upwards & killed my oil pan
The whole skid plate folded & hit my oil pan, even with the motor spaced up 20mm....
Then again, you don't plan to really be that low anymore right?


Nijna insterion edit
Look at the part of the skid plate where it attaches to the subframe

Good job skidplate. Thanks for the help.

[FishermanIvan]

This thread has convinced me that a sedan is the way to go. So thanks for that!

Beauty car that you've got here!

Where your O.Z.s at?

On a shelf. I do have a hook up for powder coating the faces after getting the one face fixed. So, Futura rebuild is on for this fall/winter. I need to get another vehicle first. I really want to get something capable off road.
