Engine tinware / Protection for EJ20

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hello

Just wondered if anybody has managed to reuse or make the WBX tinware fit around the subaru engine?? I know it wont provide a great deal of protection from the elements but anything is better than nothing I suppose.

Any suggestions? :-)

A Subaru runs a under tray for protection but everyone I know gets rid of it strait away and doesn't worry about protection from the elements really as I don't know of anyone that has had problem arise from not having one , and the scoop tends to let a lot of stuff into the engine bay anyway so from a Scoob owners point of view we don't bother ,,, the VW ej20 does have a bit more room around it to let stuff in but with keeping the crap out you might also be holding unwanted heat in

Just my thoughts really as the VW side of things is all still new to me :D

I've kept my tinware with the idea of refitting it after the conversion.
