What would be the best material for one to be made from do you guys think would work best? 3ish mm thick Aluminum sheet, Carbon fibre, Fibreglass or something different all together? If someone can pm me there mobile number to host a picture or 2 for me to sort of explain what I'm after that'd be awesome. As I only have Internet on the iPhone and no laptop currently.

What sort of material do you think would be best 89CAL?

Thanks Josh.

Alloy sheet for sure, itll take some bumps that way and not get damaged easily, ive been wanting to do this for a while...

I reckon one sheet will do almost back to the cat

Yeah I've been wanting to do this for a while also. What mm thivkness alloy sheet would be most suited? Needs to be strong enough to withstand flex, knocks and jolts ect. So maybe 2mm thick? I'm not really sure! How were you guys thinking of sercuring it to underneath the car? I've also heard of troubles fitting them with heavy duty swaybars eg. Whiteline 27mm adj front sway, anyone heard of this? As well as a large capacity sump. I don't currently have a big sump but will be getting one in the near future. Also how far out would be ideal for it to extrude out past the front bumper?

Once fitted and done properly what are the main gains to be had from the splitter undertray? Just give better stability and helps remove the air caught in around the engine bay which helps with better radiator cooling ect as far as I'm aware?

Thought this thread would have got more attention.

Cheers Josh

??? Honestly thought this would have gained more interest or atleast some pictures of some different idea's. So others planning to make one can get some ideas ect. Oh well. I also thought a company would be making these.

Bringing back this old underrated thread. I am also interested in this and would appreciate any info on how to make one, what material, how to fasten it etc. I am not looking to do a complete flat bottom undertray, just a splitter similar to what Richo did here http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428535-richos-r33-gtst/page-6

Would I need any drawing/design software or is it something that can be drawn/mocked up and cut at home with grinder etc?

Let me know what you all think

Cheers

I used cardboard sheeting to get the shape right and then used composite aluminium signboard. That stuff is more rigid than ally, and cuts easily with a circular saw. Undertray only, currently no forward projection to make it a splitter.

Pics can be found in my thread in motorsports builds.

Mounting takes a bit of creative thinking and used a few aluminium tabs and nut-serts to make it work. But it can be done by someone prepared to take the time.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
