Custom Carbon Components and ccubed are one and the same.

Although I have heard and seen some great results from them, I have also been involved with a project that wasn't delivered particularly well by them, disappointingly as their workmanship appears to be great for some clients.

Topstage here in Melbourne do fantastic carbon work. They've just opened up a new shop, and look to be doing a heap of work on GT3, Sports Sedans and other top race cars: http://www.topstage.com/

Freddy the owner is a great guy to boot :P

Front lips in carbon do look good, but not really practical at all in my opinion. Very expensive part to damage considering it will be the first thing to go if you misjudge a driveway/come off the track etc Nothing beats rubber!

you have a point about it being impractical but i thought id give it a shot anyways...

I'd only run a fancy lower lip if you have a nice sturdy undertray snuggled in behind the return of the lower lip.

I run a custom one layer (yes, 1) fibreglass GTR style front bar on mine and it's weak as piss on its own, but quite sturdy once supported by the alloy undertray.

You can still easily chip the extreme lower edge of the lip, and it will stick out like you know what on carbon.

..... just sayin.

At least it's not so noticeable on fibreglass as it would be on carbon. I thought about one for the STi but went for the factory option lip instead and it's much nicer. It is however cracking the paint on the front bar in some spots from the forces put against it, but I can live with that.

I accidentally tapped a gutter when parking one day, and ended up with a few scrapes on it. If it was carbon it would have been destroyed!

agree on the carbon lip thing though. I have 3/4 of an R32 GTR carbon front lip at home that proves the theory. the other 1/4 is somewhere in the infield at eastern creek if anyone wants to fetch it for me.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
