undercarriage cover for evo IX
I was wondering if anyone makes any covers for the underside of an evo? I am thinking of getting into rallying and want to protect the underside of my car. Any ideas? Thanks.

Ralliart.
I can't remember where I saw them though. It might be cheaper just to order a sheet of .090" 3003 alum. and have a fabricator make you some gaurds though. You might also want to get rid of your A/V mods and order some suspension mods before you go rallying. |

The ralliart website doesnt have much information on it. What suspension would you recommend? |
Here it is:
http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...dle=2&small=30 Suspension stuff, I guess it depends on how serious you are. DMS and Ohlins both make very good stuff but, are not cheap. I think the most important thing is going to be bracing the chassis to take that kind of punishment. |
I would love for someone to fabricate some lightweight aluminum undertray for the Evo, more for Aero purposes, than for protection. Kinda like the Lotus Elise.

Don't buy the Ralliart piece, it's $1K and sump guards aren't that hard to fabricate. Use 3/16"or 1/4" 6061 T6 aluminum, and make sure you make the mounting holes oversized in the skid plate and use washers on the bolts to attach it. That way if you bend the plate, you can still get it off/on.
If you're talking stage rally, a bash plate is about 1% of the prep work you need to do for that, and http://www.specialstage.com/ is a much better resource than here. |

any evo VIII or EVO IX owners near Portland Oregon? PM me if you are considering a skid plate ... I might have an option ....
|
I thought a vendor here, possibly Works, had a nice partial guard for the engine. Maybe just over the oilpan, but I'm not sure. Might be worth searching for.
|
i have a Beatrush underpanel. I think its good enough.
i do not think you need more protection then that. |
Go to www.Tatomotorsports.com

More from Tatomotorsports real undercarriage protection, not just a front undertray replacement, which by the way a beatrush one will look like as# after one off road excursion.

not sure which item your talkin about MYEVOVIII, that sump guard is sick
the works one has taken some serious rock baths, 3/16" aluminum. got the dents to prove it http://www.worksevo.com/store/produc...products_id=39 |
Beatrush has a awsome undertray for the evo. I got use out of mine this winter and it saved my oil pan and Shep built tranny. Its .080 thick and covers everything up front.
