"THE PLATE"
I had read all the posts on what an improvement this plate would make. I just had to make one.
This thing really works.
First was the driveway test, I would always had to go in at an angle or I would scrape the plastic air deflector.
Well now I can pull straight in with no contact with driveway!
Took it out for a spin.
I could feel the difference, no more chassis flex, I could feel the road more. The whole car feels tighter, taking on ramps I can go faster with little to no lean, a great improvement.
I also installed an aluminized heat barrier made by Cool It, it claims to reflect 90% of radiant heat.
I have not taken it on a long ride to test this out, but I felt it couldn't hurt.
Next pic shows the side and back view.
1/4" thick 6061-T6 Aluminum Plate
I just put headers and my Handling Plate in this 2000 Vert yesterday.
He did not want heat barrier, he did not think it would make that much difference and wanted to keep cost down.
I have been getting pm's for this, I have two left @ about half the price of retail.
