Front undertray, is this worth the effort?
Did a search, found lots of undertrays that include a splitter and/or extend rearward of the axle. Thats not what Im looking for.
NASA TT rules state that:
And
My plastic undertray is a little worse for wear, not to mention a PITA to get off. Along with doing a radiator shroud to help with cooling, is it worth my time to bother with an undertray? I cant have a splitter nor canards to cut airflow in front of the wheels. So, my question becomes, is it worth the effort?
For reference, here is the Beatrush panel:
According to NASA rules, Id have to stop approximately where the first line of bolts are, just aft of that actually. A well thought out design could easily come under the control arms too I guess, right?
NASA TT rules state that:
6.4 G 5) Add or fabricate flat bottom/belly tray (rearward of the centerline of the front axle) +5
6.4 I g 1) Undertray/ belly pan forward of the centerline of the front axle

Edit: This is getting pretty close, minus the splitter portion.

Subbing for win and fabrication pics when you get this going.
I think gdmorr is asking about the vertical portions of the belly pan, the parts we get to drill big *** holes in for IC tube. My guess is no on the Beatrush, I see no where for it to attach.
Rev9 sells this thing, check it out:

Yeah, I see no sides. They would be pretty easy to build though

Reason I ask is I want to know if I can use just my splitter and not worry about the "thermal suicide" by not having the oem piece in - which has sides.
