To those people that have a Kerscher lip installed, be careful when going over 180kph as my under-body tray came flying off halfway down the drag strip. (disclaimer: I didn't install it)
Considering it was 32oC, I managed a 12.509 whilst dragging a big plastic sail under my car; I am pretty happy with that. After hacking the shit out of the tray with my trusty leatherman, I was going to go back out but really didnt want to risk the rest of the tray coming lose and I didn't have the tools to remove it all. Would've been a great night once the sun had gone down but should have some race gas next week so will be better then. Last edited by IDriveACamryNow; 10-31-2012 at 05:50 AM.. |

The lip is ok but the under tray shield is gone. When the lip was installed, a smaller part at the front of the shield was removed and the force of the air coming through that cavity it has ripped the whole section off.

When my lip was installed the front plastic piece was removed (connects bumper to the part that ripped off your car.)
Put it back on Monday using the stock bolts - its needed otherwise the cars aerodynamics are reduced and the front bumper feels loose. Will be comimg back to wsid soon as i need to do lots of testing of new stuff. |

On another note more related to this thread, let me know if any of you are heading to WSID. I'll definitely come along if I'm free that night. Thought I think I may need to service my tranny first...
