Not too bad......Ithaca tested the skidplate install. Bottomed out real hard by cornell. I'm sure the plate is dented.

The roads by Cornell are a nightmare... The old brick roads are crowned so hard that I feel a brick is not even centimeters away from taking out my intercooler or oil pan or all of the above. When it's wet and you come down those roads it's like a damn slip & slide too. At least you have the skid plate! The car looks great just like everyone said and with the coilovers I don't think I want to know how nice it was on the drive but I can imagine. I would love to get one myself but I don't think I'd have the heart or the stones to drive it during winter. Can't have 2 cars I don't want to drive come snow season

the people in front of the bar where I bottomed out said, "OOOOOHHHHHHHHH"

Also, crap, I think I like this forum. Now I have to become actively involvoed involved.

Welcome to VS :lol:

There are quite a few guys that moved from the P80 chassis into a C30. Should help you feel more at home..you're coming from an 850 right?

Yeah, but I've had the c30 since march 2012. I've made the rounds on the forums lol.

Told you VS is good stuff.

Can you go to the shop and throw it on the lift to take a look? Or is it closed for the summer..

Open whenever one gets in contact with Chris. Nelson has a key too, so I can just grab it from him at work. I peeked underneath, and it seems to have done its job, but I still gotta get in there this weekend to tighten up my sway bar.

yeah, it was on the brick. my friend said, "oops, forgot about this section of road, my bad."

Hey guys, my name is Matt, I drive a 2011 Electric Silver C30, and I met a bunch of you over in Ithaca last weekend at the Euro Car meet. Here are my pics from it and the cruise. I'm primarily active on c30crew, but I'll check in here every so often.

Hey Matt! I had the S70 that parked next to you, nice to meet ya. Met a few other familiar forum-members as well, great putting a face to the name finally. Wish there was more time to pick your brain about the XR, Hussein! B)

Yeah, my brains were fried, darn it, wish I got those pics. I took ZERO pics at the meet. Anybody get a good straight on shot of my wagons side by side?

Also- good to meet you Brady, Timbo, and Matt. Euro Meet '14 is already being planned- even better and I am getting an official meet photographer for next year, so, that's cool.
