Shocking to see how Evo owners don't get their cars under-sealed.I come from the Skyline world and it's standard practice to have your car under-sealed as soon as it reaches the UK. All the decent import companies make sure this is done. Fantastic work done on your Evo though mate! Hats off to you! ________________________________________ Light travels faster than sound.

Fantastic work done on your Evo though mate! Hats off to you! Thanks. The trouble is with the Evos the rear crossmembers/diff etc cover alot of the chassis,so without dropping it all you cannot underseal/protect it properly. Most import places underseal them as you say,but its only where they can see that they underseal,so the common rot spots are behind the rear crossmembers unprotected.
