Carbon Kevlar is where it's at!

Final Motion in Japan - http://www.final-motion.com - have all sorts of CK parts for your car. Sure it's not cheap, and the yellow looks a little iffy - but it's pretty cool stuff.

Kevlar console lid anyone?

Apparently you can also get CF and CK rocker/cam/plug covers for your RB26! Screw the weight advantage, that's gotta look cool!

interesting stuff..

does the kevlar make it even stronger than CF already is??

if you had a gold car, like, top secret gold.. probably wouldnt look -that- weird..

only a matter of time till imitations come out.. and everyone will have it.. like a bad case of rice

this sounds like a stupid question, but im serious..

could you shoot a bullet at it? seeing as its kevlar?

Yes, you could shoot a bullet at it, and it'd go straight through!

Most kevlar vests (stab/pistol proof) are made from quite a few layers of kevlar fabric which isn't hardened (unlike the bonnets etc). This allows the round to be "caught" by the kevlar and stopped that way (it still hurts like hell but you'll live). If you want to stop a high power round then a plate of steel or ceramic is used.

Geeky answer I know but I wear one often (goes with the job).

u worked on boats? so u were a semen? :cheers: sorry couldn't resist...

In that case u'd be able to answer this... does it work the same way as cf when laying it? or is there a different process, do you have to bake or pressurise more than cf?

you would be doin well to get the guards, even in kevlar lighter than the factory aluminium ones and even if you did it would be that minimal, the driver goin for the quarter pounder instead of the big mac would make more difference!!! Like tho and as rezz said welcome to 2001, i was goin to go further but you get the idea!!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
