Oil pan to ground clearance. Or, the lack of.......

Here's a custom made one I saw online:

teal_dx that actually looks like the aluminum one that beatrush makes for our cars. Its not the strongest material for a skid plate but its some piece of mind when you hit small stuff you know you arent tearing your oil pan open.

- Fri Feb 27, 2015 3:37 am #352290 Just thought I'd share my one and only "run" with this car since doing the swap.

It was a couple of weeks ago and it's kind of comical IMO. Everybody was trying to get me to run this Honda and that Honda. Nope, I want a piece of that Neon SRT4! Done.

I was sleeping at the line. Rolled into it, up in smoke. then I missed 2nd lol. Found it, up in smoke. Finally got traction, shifted to third and it was ON! But too late lol. I was reeling him in on the big end and to my surprise, despite all the issues i had in the first 60', he only got me by 1 car.

I was pleasantly impressed. I need some sticky tires, a traction bar, kpro and tuned and it will be a different story.

The neon driver: "I could defiantly tell the difference between half throttle and full throttle from my mirror. That thing sounds really good too!"

Please excuse the filth lol. We've had some unusually dry weather and my driveway is dirt so it gets dusty. Amongst other things that blow around lol. I need to clean the interior BAD!

It happens when you use it as a daily though.

- Sun Mar 22, 2015 4:18 am #352754 So I finally got around to weighing my car. I'm not sure why it took me so long as there is a weigh station about 3 miles from my house lol.

Anyway, remember, this is my daily driver. Full interior and all. As well as about 50 lbs of junk in the trunk. haha

2350 lbs.

2500 lbs with me in it.
