eh Newb Q...whats a skid plate.

 

[chameleon30038]

something they put under cars/trucks so that if it scraps it does damage the other stuff like cat and header. especially lowered vechiles or trucks that do rock climbing

 

[joe7987]

hmm ok...

Are you rockcrawling in your civic?
I havent heard anything about people breaking their header, thing youll scrape is your muffler prob.

here is a site that will educate you guys more about skid plates.

cause i'm sure you all must think im crazy

 

[kellog]

only thing u will ding up most likly is your headder, long as you car isnt having a hard time driving through streets, your fine.

I scrape like a mother. My stock header cracked because of it and all my piping is all scrached like crazy now.

Perhaps if people didn't lower their Honda's thinking it's going to handle more like a Porsche you wouldn't be scrapping the bottom of your cars.

I mean, if you want a Skid Plate go ahead.

 

[chameleon30038]

so....scottyfordy ...you don't think lowering it makes a difference? Cause if thats the case your hella wrong.

Theres a reason why formula one cars are completely flat under the car, same goes with corvettes and other exotics. Less turbulence under the car will help to lower your ET times. Not by much, but every fraction of a second counts. Aerodynamics can play a big role.

[XpL0d3r]

How the hell do people find these old ass threads? dayumm

 

[lowlife9]

he probably did the rite thing and searched instead of making a new thread. but yes they do make universal skid plates that attach to your header or down pipe but if you hit hard enough you can snap the header bolts on the engine so its a trade off.

Yes, they do make skid plate kits for the Civic. They are at 'd**k Cepek' right next the the raising blocks, heavy duty leaf springs, and side step-ladders. Most guys don't add the skid plates until they install Honda's optional double Dana locker 4x4 kit though.

Jesus... if your car is that low either tow it to the track, or raise it up some if you plan on driving on real pavement.
