Croxx Plate II

http://www.worksevo.com/store/produc...products_id=39

I am really interested in purchasing this, but one thing concerns me, do you have to remove it every time you change the TC fluid? It looks like it may block the drain plug for the TC. I really dont want to remove this thing every time I change the TC fluid.

I have the Croxx II and just changed my TC fluid yesterday. You can get to the drain plug without removing it, but the plate will block the fluid draining out. So yes, you need to remove it in order to change the fluid. It's not a big deal since it's only 5 bolts. Perhaps WORKS will should add a notch in it for this on the Croxx III.

Yeah - the croxx plate trivial to remove and pretty easy to replace - far easier than dealing with the all that plastic under the nose.

Mark, swing by the shop and I'll drill a hole in yours as a prototype

Will this plate prevent the motor from dropping in a frontal collision? (odd question.. I know..)

It shouldn't affect what the engine does in a frontal collision as it mostly covers the subframe area.

It works with the stock plastic undertray. It also works fine with the larger Beatrush aluminum underpanel.

With the Croxx II redesign, we've found it clears most 3" DPs. The only ones we seem to have issues with are the custom jobs involving one-off DP/big turbo combinations. Even then a little machining allows everything to bolt up fine. As mentioned, the stock plastic undertray remains fully intact and functional.
