Now that I think of it I bet there isn't any ice to drive on anywhere around here with such a warm winter.
There may be an ice race on plelican lake this weekend. Check the forums under http://www.fvscc.com for more details.

I didn't have mine on either, but that thing really helps with keeping the engnie clean and cutting down a little on wind noise.

The only time I had a problem is when I took the vent thingy off the hood and leaves and crap went all over the place. But having the lower tray removed doesnt kick anything up. Take it off and hang it on the wall for a conversation piece.

I've had my tray off for over a year. Water gets in the engine bay from the hood vent and through the radidator and such anyway. Unless you take your evo mudding that lower tray doesn't protect the motor much if any.

I never noticed a difference in wind noise but that was probably due to the TBE and the fact that I always have the window or moon roof open.

Its in a low pressure area so it doesn't do much. The only benefit that jumps out at me is the plastic under the FMIC may force more air into the IC instead of letting it go around/under it.

Geezus what happened? Luckily my evo is still back in Miltown, sittin in my parents garage...no way i was going to leave it on the street in Brown Deer~., When i glanced at your pictures at first i thought it was MY car....hahaha with the wheels (with salt hard to see my red lip) and with the hood (cant tell if its black or CF)....made me think for a second someone stole mine!

I've had mine off since last winter and have done plenty of doughnuts without issue.

For some reason i feel the undertray does make somewhat of a substantial amount of difference. When doing my clutch install, the tranny came off and went back on like butter. There were no major problems and all parts disassembled and reassembled perfectly without any need to "jimmy" them or fitment issues. Unless i just got really lucky....or its a coincidence. But i have had my undertray on for all 50k miles, last 15k with part of it cutout for the AMS FMIC. I believe its personal preference, but with how clean it kept my engine along with how easily parts and bolts came off, i feel it truely helps.

DAMNIT i miss my evo, i got to drive a buschur powered 04 RS out here, owned by a guy on the forums named Addison, REALLY cool guy- he also races his 60s Mustang GT350 and a 90' 5.0 stang. Went for a ride yesterday for what i thoguht was going to be some snow drifting...ended up being street drifting, hahaha. Then he let me drive, without a second thought. Really nice guy...surprised he let me drive his car.. i NEVER have let anyone drive my car besides HKM and my parents (which are now scared to drive it....only start it up every few weeks while im in Denver)

The car is teetering on a snow mound...so i dunno. I doubt he would risk driving it up on there and scratchin the paint on the trees infront along with harming the undercarriage for a simple photo...but thats just my personal thought.

Im thinking either he tried to turn and the wheels turned but the car kept going straight...or he was snow drifting.....or possibly too much gas....or maybe wrong gear (hopefully not!)
