Is there a way to see the colour difference between black and charcoal?

Wondering what would look better with the grey dash and black carpet lol.

Bishes have been slack at le factory! That and I dropped it off to them at the end of month. Their work orders apparently soared to mass levels, however I've spoken to them and they've apoligised dearly (a.k.a. offered me a beer AND a coca cola - that's business etiquette right there) and said that they're working on it and yadayada.

But I'm expecting 2x samples one in black one in charcoal to a) compare and b) check fitment. I am expecting those this friday. if they're not done i'm going to give them a piece of my mind. and axe. of fire.

Rest assured dear cefiro owners, THEY WILL BE MADE.

Not until we have them :D

Black is your black carpet, charcoal is more like the color of your trim (unless you got a Ceffy with brown interior...)

Woo! So really it should look good either way!

And yay for progress! :dry:

You can move it if you like?

Progress report is that I'm getting a sample FINALLY made and given to me this week, so I'll fit it to my car and post up pics ASAP.

Gya. I want my goddamn dashmats. Went there today, they're to the stage of lining up and cutting out the vents for the mats. once they get that sorted then production can FINALLY start. Next week.

OK people,

After some f**king around, they've finished the mould.

They werent sure where to cut the air con vents and auto headlight sensors, so I had to stop in, find this out, stop in the next day with vents, stop in the day after and get the dash and mold, bring it home and test fit it all.

I've decided (without deliberation with my sidekick, Jason) that instead of locking the front of the mat, leave it open. The locking along the edges will end at just above the air con vents facing the driver's and passenger's windows.

The dash continues downwards on an angle, about 1.5", after the dash meets the windshield (parallel to the windshield, and pretty much contact with it)

I want to leave the mat unlocked along that line, so that you can slide the mat between the windshield and the dash, into this small gap....this will help hold the dash still, alot better then just Velcro on its own.

If the majority of you disagree, let me know before MONDAY, as that is when the locking will be applied to the mats, SO, give me some feedback.

Pics attached

The drawn line along the dash is where the glass meets the dash when its fitted inside the car.

The auto headlight sensors havent been cut on the mold in the picture, but they are cut, and will be on all the dash mats...for those of you that have properly working auto headlight sensors.

30 are up for initial production, we'll probably do more if the first 30 sell out quickly.

15 Grey (similar or same as the picture attached)

15 Black (black..yeah...its pretty easy to imagine, no pics needed)

ALSO, if the majority of you want Black, we'll set more to be produced in Black, instead of Grey, so, keep us posted.

Cheers

Nic

Thanks nic! Much appreciated.

Note - this dashmat shown is yet to receive its protective and aesthetic edging. once we get it cut to fit, then the edges will go on.

Did they give you an ETA when you were there? Theoretically they SHOULD have them made by next week if the original goes in tomorrow.

Either way, thanks heaps mate.

OK, final test fit / first proper made received today.

NOTES:

The bit I asked to be left open an unlocked, to tuck in between the windshield and the dash....didn't happen...its just locked up the top, and we'll just have to do with Velcro.

The auto headlight sensors...these will be semi cut in the dashmat, but still intact with it....to remove it, just twist it out, or cut the traced line with a Stanley knife....so you folks that have covered the sensors up for whatever reason can leave them covered.

PICS:

Looking more at 20 Black and 10 Grey at this stage.

Any last second Q's, prob easier at this stage to give me a call

Or me - 0447 188 408.

That shit looks AWESOME. I'm happy with that result.

I'll give the supplier a call and put the order in for 10 grey, 20 black. Once I get them, I'll be sending out PM's to those who've PM'd me regarding these. and we'll go from there.

Cheers for collecting it Nic. And for the pics :P

Btw: change your progress to 80%. You have a dashmat now. :P

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
