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.

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...

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.

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

Too hard basket mate? :P

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?

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

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.

maybe a stagea version of this

like the idea not sure how effective it at actually is

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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
