Hmmm, that and they make a specific model for the AT carrier may push me over the edge to just getting the Cusco (I was already on the fence). That means I don't have to go shop for a new MT housing, I can just buy LSD + gears (+bearings, + oil seals?) and swap it out in my existing pumpkin.

Weekend Update !

It was a very slow week and weekend, I guess I was a bit tired of working on the car the week before in the cold from -20 to +3 Celsius and almost 8 to 12 hours a day (with break time of course)


For the skeptic here we go with the main part of the rear right quarter panel.

It weight in at 2 lbs 14.5 oz.

Almost done! Some trimming left and then a final epoxy coating + clear coat.



wheee!, 370Z JT, Mr&Mrs and 3 others like this.

Be careful there is Porn being posted down below !!

yeah you read correctly,,, its some cloth Carbon Fiber Porn !!!
I hope you like it


There is;
- two 3k 2x2 Twill cloth
- one 12k plain T700
- one 12k biaxial 45-45deg T700




It took about an hour to do a paper fender template to cut all of the CF layer needed for the job.

Then another 3 hours of hand lay up with a slow hardener...
I should have bought a fast one on my last order

I wish I had the skills, time, money, and motivation to do this. Somebody is gonna be a lucky f*ck when you decide to sell it to move onto something else.

Carbon Fiber Party !



on a more serious note.

The left quarter panel has been started a last Monday & Tuesday if I remember correctly but I haven't touched it since then because I started making CF panel and parts for this Aero Project.

I got to order more !!! yup again ;/

unfinished parts...

How thick are you making these parts? I want to make some canards and on ebay for a 12x48" panel I see 1.5mm, 2.6mm, 3.5mm and 4.4mm. I'm thinking 2.6mm should be what apr uses and strong enough.

It varie between 1/16 to almost 1/4''

the rear bumper skin is a 3 layer and some reinforcement at the sharp edge.
its very close to 1/16 *very flexible*

the front side large panel are 4 layers of (7oz / 9oz / 12oz/ 9oz ) which give about 1/8'' * haven't measured* *quite strong panel*

the rear large quarter panels are made with the same layer as the front side panel ( 4 layers )

the rear lower winglets are 3 layer ( 9oz /12oz/9oz ) and 2 extra layer of 12oz each at the mounting flange thickness goes from about 1/8 to almost 1/4 at the flange

those 90deg 1x1'' are 2 layer of 12oz. ( about 1/16 ) (half weight from the same L beam in Aluminium. )

the long L parts 5''x2'' are 2 layers of 12oz and a renforcement of another 12oz at the bent edge (1/16 to almost 1/8)



as far as your canard size ... I have a small plate that I kept which mesure .095'' , its quite stiff and should be good for that application (I guess ) if you go with that 2.6mm ( .102'')

im still new in the CF stuff...
