Who's your carbon fiber supplier? I would like to try making some items myself...namely the carbon fiber airbox. You have me eying the same Rotary Works v-mount now for myself...although I just bought an SMIC.. argh!
I'm sure you heard by now that I sold my 8 for an FD? It's a tight fit for me! I sure miss Arizona as well, but Colorado has been treating me well. |

http://www.amazon.com/Fiberglass-Oth...dp_ob_title_bk Also, I found a couple online forums that are good to lurk on and read the stickies: www.fiberglassforums.com and www.racingcomposites.net Expect a lot of trial and error-- theres lots of little details you only find out about when you try things. I've thrown a lot of failures away. It can be very time consuming. |

I got the aluminum bottom piece of my airbox back from the welder today. He only tacked the 4" piping in because I was afraid things may not line up right but it seems to all fit perfectly: ![]() I also had him weld in a section of aluminum tube I rolled some 1/8" NPT threads on both sides as a water/meth injection nozzle coupler: ![]() |
