Has anyone had to reinforce their front bumper while using the SSP Undertray? I ran into a problem yesterday while taking the evo out on a long stretch.

After I got home and looked over the car, I noticed that both sides of my front bumper were sticking out a little bit. I'm talking about the left and right end of the bumper where you just snap it in place next to the wheels (I just pushed them back in with my palm and all was good). I also noticed that my ssp undertray had pulled down and snapped the center cream colored part of the bumper that it bolts up to in the middle. The front section of the undertray was hanging about an inch off the ground. I'm assuming this is all due to the wind resistance at high speeds.

Has anyone done any kind of reinforcement work to the front bumper to keep it stable at high speeds?

 

What did you hit?

 

Are you lowered at all? The only time I ever have issues like that is when I give the bumper a good smack on a steep driveway.

 

The only thing I hit was the wind/resistance at 170 mph. Yes I"m lowered on Eibach but I didn't see anything on the road that I may have passed over.

 

The car doesn't even go that fast... And if it got ripped off at speeds then you prolly don't have it on properly...

 

yes it can. If you live your life quarter mile at a time....

 

I've got the SSP undertray and haven't had any issues. Jeremy used the undertray on the SSP Time Attack Evo X and I'm pretty sure that's the extreme the tray will be exposed to, and never heard any issues with it. I'd just suggest rechecking your bolts and use a bit of thead lock on the front ones.

 

Off course it goes that fast.. I've hit 160 with just a Cobb stage 1 map.

 

. He said he hit 170 mph...

 

I see that. 10 mph difference. I was just stating that i hit 160 with the car pretty much being stock, so i'm pretty sure it can hit 170 with just a couple bolt ons.

 

ugh... really man... bolt ons make no difference to the top speed..nvm this is pointless

 

More power = more speed once the speed limiter is taken off with a tune.

 

The odometers on Evo X's read 180, but you're saying they can't hit 170? makes sense.

 

GSR is gear limited to 162MPH (i.e. redline in top gear happens at 162MPH). Unless you change the gear ratio, put on larger diameter tires, or increase your redline you can't hit 170MPH no matter how much horsepower you add or what the speedometer reads up to.

 

You don't even have to do all that You can hit 170 with just a tune.
