Stagea Carbon Parts.

[Daleo]

Hey Guys,

So I've been chatting with a guy who does some pretty interesting motorsport stuff and has some useful contacts in the relevant industries.

We got talking about Carbon Fibre, and he has contacts that specialise in manufacture anything in Carbon.

Structural parts, decorative elements, panels; anything. One offs, and multiples.

Is there any particular accessories that people would like me to enquire about?

I was thinking that if there was enough demand for specific things like ducts, trim pieces, bonnets, wings, or whatever, I could organise a group buy and save us a bucket of money.

I know I'd like to have a raw Carbon Nismo rear wing, but I'm sure there's other things that people are after.

Anyway, have a think about it, and let me know either through the thread, or by PM if you prefer.

Cheers, Dale.

I know I'd like to replace all the ghey faux wood trim in my RX four...

Interior parts would be better than exterior, carbon gets damaged too easily by UV unfortunately.

Been there done that on my old GSXR, never again.

I'd like to replace the fake aluminium door inserts with carbon, that'd look ok.

Vented bonnet too.

Hopefully others are more creative and I can steal ideas.

Is this the guy that was going to do the suction pipes originally? His got an axis?

If so don't hold you breath and be prepared for 50 million questions on how to fix his car with no sign of return. His a gunna and his using you for info or something else!

Hmmm, I thought this would rear its head after the issues that you & Andy had.

They have recognised that there were issues with the way they were dealing with their potential customers; in their own words "Our speciality is Carbon, not remembering to chase up customers and answering the phone" I think that's true for most specialists in motorsport; customer service comes second to the product.

Especially with the experience you had; they were in the midst of 2 Superlap builds worth huge dollars, both to the customers involved, and to the future of their business and a showcase of their ability.

I spoke with him pretty directly about your previous experience; and that is exactly why he is involved with them now.

He believes that the issues from before won't be a problem, as he now manages that side of the business.

Anyway, I'm putting it out there as it was a service offered to me; if people don't want to use it, or can't decide what they want, then so be it.

It may happen that any Group Buy will come to nothing; but given my experience and track record, I thought it was worth a try...

He can ask me all the questions in the world; I'm not particularly useful anyway...

[Jetwreck]

I'll call you!

Maybe supply a sample price of a product to show what he would charge

This will scare off the punters and save you wasting your time......

Rear defuser that sits in well with the aero bar.

Thats a good idea, but how would you design it so it doesn't look like an after thought? Not sure it'd work with the Aero bar?

[Duncan]

sorry but I am with the nay-sayers on this one....you would have to find some sample prices before expecting this to go far. Motorsport quality c/f is as dear as sin.

guage cluster LOL for both the tv section and the top glovebox

[bigkevracer]

Meh. If it works out too expensive, so be it. If we can use our collective buying power to get a decent price through volume, or at least get someone making this kind of stuff for the M35, then that would be awesome. But we don't know until we get more info and give it a crack.

Too hard basket mate?

you could cut out the inprinted area and design it so it replaces that section. Only food for thought

[joshm35]

How bout the multi guage inplace off the dvd rom open cover like the same takero make. Carbon fiber drive shafts. Limit is endless

Ah yeah, diffuser to clip over the top of the aero bar (I wouldn't want to cut mine). Looks good.

As for that gauge pod, I think it sticks out far enough that you could replace the glove box cover but keep the DVD drive where it is. That would be awesome since you never use the DVD drive anyway, just need it plugged in.

I have one of those on mine (aluminium, not c/f), someone on here used to make them. They are excellent for holding tools while working under the bonnet, no sign of whether it actually helps cool the engine or not.
