Derbo's ZHP

Minor Update to the ZHP:

I replaced my coolant today with Redline WaterWetter and Distilled Water. I also trimmed my belly pan piece to delete the sway bar sections. The picture below shows where sections I deleted. The reason I deleted them was because the current brake duct hose setup altered the belly pan and it made it a little more difficult to remove.

This picture shows how the hole was created for the brake ducts hose. Unfortunately the belly pan is made out of some sort of plastic material that easily cracks and the brackets broke off their fasteners. Since the sway bar sections were minimal in protection, I opt to just delete them all together.

Now I can just remove my bellypan without removing my ducts! Hoorah!

On a lighter note,

I'm waiting on delivery of Matt's Hotchkis front sway bar and then I will pack my UUC F+R sway bar set to deliver to JR.

I wouldn't think the undershield was all that important while tracking anyways?

According to BMW it supposedly provides negative lift. I guess minimal protection to the bottom area is also nice since I do drive it on the street as well.

Funny you mentioned this.

I've been in the market to get new side mounts for awhile now and I stumbled upon a company that had a pretty clever idea.

Motion Motorsports makes these side mounts:

They have slots on a circle that allows for a very wide range of adjustment.

They also make this for an M3:

Now I am not unclear how similar these belly pans are compared to the non-M but it does look great.

That does look great :drool They seem like a small enough company, maybe they could fabricate something for us?

Honestly I'm willing to bet that the belly pan of the M3 is very similar to ours. I'm going to start cross verifying with Kalim to see if he has one laying around I could test fit or compare dimensions.
