I Confess: I'm In A Love Affair...

[LTSJayce]

Some of you know that I'm married to a rather understanding lady that shares my passion for things with wheels. She knows of my late night meetings with "the other woman", the one with the big, red R on her hind quarters. With the death of my favorite money tree(I blame the drought), the 32 has slowed in it's overhaul plans. So, I've been flirting with an old flame...

Carbon Fibre. Black gold. The über strength to weight material. Oh, how I love thee!

My car has some select parts made of my favorite composite, but I want more. MORE! This material fascinates me so much, I'm ready to tale the next step. So, I'm putting it out to you all: I want to learn how to make Carbon Fibre. I don't want to read web pages, I want hands on with someone who's done it before. Who knows someone? A course I might take? Experience counts, people!

I'm listening! PM's accepted as well...

ild like to learn also, i believe that i have been assigned to the carbon fibre team for my uni race car, so hopefully ill get to learn how to work with it well.

I thought you were going to say you love Supras, ban for life. But CF is fine

[funkymonkey]

do a google search for "DIY vacuum forming".

I made my own vacuum former using parts from a refrigerator compressor I had lying around and make some small parts with it... also helps with getting air out of resin mixtures and thermoforming plastics.

Now we're talking! When F. M. kicks in a suggestion, I'll be listening! Ta!

[Michele]

Jayce - How did you go with this love affair? Did you get to first base????

[GTRKat]

Ask me about an ages old tattoo I have...

PICS!!!!!

And Petey has already told me I'm not allowed to have GTR tattooed anywhere on my body

[LTSJayce]

PICS!!!!!

And Petey has already told me I'm not allowed to have GTR tattooed anywhere on my body

I guess that means I'm off his list then!!

I'm still flirting but hopefully I can cop a feel soon, LOL!!

[GTRKat]

Hehe he may like it I just don't think he wants to see it on his wife!!

[LTSJayce]

Hehe he may like it I just don't think he wants to see it on his wife!!

You know he wants it, go on!

Seriously, tho'; the GT-R was always a long term dream of mine, and will stay with me until...well, it doesn't bear thinking about! So the tattoo was a respect thing for me...and will also stay with me to the grave!!
