Posted December 4, 20231 yr comment_659941 Found on eBay recently, and curious if this is how all Jdm cars come from factory? With captured nuts for optional belly pan, that runs under the engine compartment?

December 5, 20231 yr comment_659956 The captive nuts in the front apron were primarily intended to be used to attach the (urethane) factory spoiler, fitted as standard equipment to UK & European market models. The quarter valance pieces also had captive nuts. *28 = 98300-E8100 ASSY-FRONT AIR SPOILER *6 = 62600-E7201 ASSY-PANEL FRONT APRON Those same captive nuts allowed attachment of the full engine bay undercover, as fitted to the 432-R model and homologated in the JAF GT-011 papers: *14 = 98200-E7200 COVER-under (Omori Sports Corner) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68705-belly-pan-front-valance/#findComment-659956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 6, 20231 yr Author comment_659967 Just bought one……. I’ve liked the subtle appearance of those spoilers….. Found a euro spoiler earlier this evening, should have in a week or two. I think the full underbelly will be the tough one to find Now to find the proper left side front quarter. I Learn something everyday.😀 Edited December 6, 20231 yr by dspillman Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68705-belly-pan-front-valance/#findComment-659967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 6, 20231 yr comment_659983 8 hours ago, dspillman said: I think the full underbelly will be the tough one to find The E7200 full length engine bay undertray/bellypan was intended to be used in race conditions, where sustained high speeds were expected. They are not really suitable for road traffic conditions in hot weather. The other factor is that the E7200 was aimed primarily at S20-engined cars with a crossflow head design, and which have inherently better cooling systems and less fuel percolation issues than L-gata engines where the inlet is directly above the exhaust.
