WHY YOU SHOULD BUY EVOLUTIONS "THOR" AUDI A4 ALUMINUM SKID PLATE!

Audi's oil pans are made of a paper-thin cast aluminum that is easily cracked by many objects such as road debris, manhole covers and speed bumps. While your car may be at stock height, there is only approximately 4 inches of ground clearance with your oil pan. If you are lowered from stock height, there is very little room for error when negotiating an object in your path. Here is some information on this Evolution Aluminum Skid Plate for those of you that haven't seen it before.

The plate is 5052 grade aluminum and is 4.8mm (.191 inches) thick.
Weighs 16.7 Lbs
Protects your cars oil pan, a/c pump, radiator & transmission.
Bolts to you vehicle in 4 or five locations depending on your model.
45 to 60 minute install.
Once the plate is installed it is only 4-5 bolts that need to be removed for your oil change(1-2minutes).
Fits all engines and transmissions.

Oil Changes: We make it easy for you. With the Thor skid plate we do not offer an oil drain hole option. If we were to put one on the skid plate, the hole would be located right on the ramped section of the skid plate. This would be bad as the hole could easily catch an object on the road causing a major hazard for you and other vehicles on the road. So the skid plate will need to be removed in order to gain access to the oil filter and drain plug. However if you want to put your own access holes into the skid plate, it is at your own risk. We have added two 1/2" sight holes so you can locate your oil plug for proper alignment while you cut your own oil drain hole. Removal of the skid plate for oil changes is very quick and easy taking 1-2 minutes. Only the bottom four or five bolts need to be removed and the skid plate drops right down and off of your Audi. The aluminum side wings don't need to be unbolted from the skid plate.

can we set up a group buy here, i noticed in another forum 40 people or more get them for $190.00 each, not sure about shipping to canada though, I am cencern about over heating the transmision if this kit has less ventilation, than the OEM

Evolution is based in Canada so shipping shouldn't be a problem. I'd be interested if there were a group buy.

I will look into a group buy and post up a new thread.

That is good, it sound like a good product , I spoke to Neil at Evolution skid plat, he is a great guy very informative. He told me that the B7 has two belly covers one at the front for the engine which they are currently sell for $249 and a secondary cover behind the main one for the trans, not available yet, but it will be available soon once they test it. I am not sure how important is the secondary one, but I will get it any way once it is in the market. And like Batman mentioned , they have a distribution warehouse in Canada, shipping will be around $27,

I'd be interested in the group buy. Racoon just took mine out, he walked away with part of the plastic. Would be good protection in the winter too (car boogers).
thanks,

Batman

The racoon won?? I had a fight with a racoon and I won. :^/

Coordinating with another Audi forum would get more traction - or is that sort of thing not done with group buys?

I went over a little section of grass and there was a rock hidden underneath... A couple chunks of the plastic cover broke off and some water was underneath the hole from where the plastic ripped off. Should I be worried?? I'm sure it was water .. And it's been raining the last couple of days so i don't know if it's some left over water that was being held by the cover ... I need help!! Should I be worried ???
