The supplier for these is TOPSTAGE i believe.

Going by what was posted in the Vic section a few days ago.

Please confirm & supply some more information anDru or this thread will be locked.

Thanks.

yes we make theese airboxes.

CF do have alot better advantages compared to metal.

Metal will heat up especially aluminum, it will take the heat from engine side and it will disperse the heat to the cooler side. after a long drive, you barely can touch the aluminum shield. as for carbon, it speaks for itself, try 20' difference intake and try touching it, barely warm.

for stock intercooler piping, the airbox can be trimmed easily. or is anyone in melbourne does, we will do them for you.

yes they do have the cutout for the canisters.

I dont know if im speaking for a majority of people however carbon fibresheet costs $50 for about the amount used.. and setting it to that shape a few hours.. I dont know if its $300 bux worth ..

Suppose time adds up quick but i feel its expensive .. thought id add my two cents

Reasonable price, if you dont like it and think you can do a better job, spend your time making your own instead of being a pain in the arse. When was the last time you bought CF sheet? The price has sky rocketed since the airbus production started.

By the way since you are such a tight arse why dont you keep your 2c.

lol take it easy there trooper i guess he just dosnt wanna get ripped off.

as for your question decim8, its quite a good price, and because it is a custom job it just adds. but trust me its worth the $$$ cuz its a awsome job.

maybe we can meet up when we get our leather seats installed, and i can show u the quality of the CF box, thats if your in melbourne :P

I would definately buy one if it suited my setup :P

A custom alloy one is costing me this much.

the best way to get a perfect fit is to get some cardboard, and cut out the shapes to mould around your car. send it to us and we'll mould the CF in that shape and send it back. but try taking a pic we might be able to judge how easy it is to do

Thanks for the offer - would not get the fit I require doing it this way, really need to have the car there IMO. Shame you guys are so far away, haven't found anyone in syd yet and I dont have access to a proper workshop anymore.

it really isnt that hard i did it myself. honestly try it. what u do is get a big sheet of carboard, cut it into the shapre u need. all u need is a pen and a stanley knife

Do you work for topstage now andru?

nah not really, we do favours for each other. i thought why not make friends with someone whos a CF moulder. will come in handy when i need that Diffuser

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
