looks good, keep posting what your doing, interested to see how far you take it and what results you get, so far looks really good.

Yup, I'll be doing more when I have more time :rolleyes:

hey dude did you order it through carbonfiberfilm? also, how long did it take to get to ya?

Nope, I got it from a relative that lives in the US. It took 10 days for him to post it to me :action-smiley-069:

I tried to get the gear boot surround out today, but I couldn't unplug the ciggy lighter, i even pulled as hard as I could but it wouldn't come apart. Can anyone help? lol

if your gonna do doors inners, then just get real carbon ones

put you should try to put a layer of clear over one of your parts to see if it actually turns out like real carbon, would make it look 100x better imo

For me, I'd prefer my interior in satin than gloss. Yeah, it might look real and all, but I don't wanna get glare from the sun off the gloss :)

bahaha, you bastard, that looks soo awesome.

PS, with the cig lighter, just pull harder lol, itll come out eventually, there are some small bumps moulded into the shape of the plastic part, i ended up damaging mine a little so if i put anything into the lighter socket and then go to take it out, the socket wants to come out with it lol

You mean carbon door inserts (if so from where, i've never seen them), or do you mean carbon door skins? I think comparing a few bucks worth of vinyl to cover the factory carpet door inserts to $1000+ for full door skins is a bit of a stretch...

it kinda looks like wallpaper without the real carbon gloss look...

doesnt look too bad but Id like too see what happens after a few months, especially if it gets parked in the sun a few times on hot days...

Looks great. Does it stick when you apply heat with the heat gun?

What do you mean stick? It does stick to whatever I'm applying on, if I use heat :D

Well, if I want, I can just spray a coat of clear over the top, but like I've said before, I'd rather a satin finish in my interior.

The 3M stuff should endure the hot weather, but I'll keep you guys updated :blink:

Also, a coat of clear should make the vinyl more durable, but it doesn't really bother me :P

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
