Ok. So I drew up a bit of a to do list of things that need to be done to the car. Theoretically it just needs a wash and an oil change after High Country but being as OCD as I am I just want to tidy a few things up.....



When I was ordering overnight parts out of Japan I noticed that there is a genuine Ralliart sump guard for circa $500. I spoke with a mate that has one and he said it is a work of art. OK. Lets order one of them... The one thing he failed to tell me is how bloody heavy it is.....





That might be fine in a showroom car where you have to add weight to bring it up to a minimum weight but there is absolutely no way that I am fitting it to my car which is way over the minimum weight....

So I got to thinking.... What other options are there... perhaps I could use it as a mould to make a much lighter one out of carbon and Kevlar. It probably wont happen until over Christmas but stay tuned as I will make a mould and see if I can make a super lightweight undertray.
