    What's the story on the skid plate ? Is that a custom piece?

    Theres a guy on r3v who is selling them.  $160 shipped :D   Cant go wrong with a price like that.  He basically borrowed a couple of local people, took measurements, and started making them.  He has them for m20's, m42's and 24v swaps.  Heres a link:  http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=269486

    I should also mention it comes with new steering rack bolts too.  Mounting it up is very easy.  Its sturdy as hell too!  Ill actually feel comfortable driving my car around now.

          Well, I nailed my oil pan really hard the first time driving my car home with the swap, so I wanted to make sure it'd be safe.  E30 guys rally with this plate so I trust it can handle waukesha roads.

          Id say race skid, only because Ive been paranoid of ruining my pan since day one hahah.

                    I can stand on it (185) and it doesnt flex at all!  I also just learned today that theres a good chance my motor will be timed on Friday!

                              I actually weight lifted quite a bit once joining the military. I know for a fact I'll be able to out deadlift you. But aside from that, I've got goofy long arms, that suck for benching.

                                Twas a joke.  I dont actually lift.  I dont care who can lift more.  Its lifting.

                                  bro, you dont even lift?

                                  Ever since age 19 and 5 months I decided that rolling the window down and jamming my arm down on the lock-pull was a more effective way to make my biceps bulge for the delight of wimmen
