Another "who Does Custom" Thread - Fibreglass/carbon Fibre


Recommended Posts

I'm well aware of Freddy @ Top Stage, good guy, chatted to him a few times.

I could very well end up there but just looking at other options for people who do custom fibreglass/carbon fibre work. All i know of is Freddy and that's it.

Not a huge job, will be a relatively small piece in the end (exterior) but always nice to know what other options there are

cheers,

chinny

only threads i found were freddy or custom carbon which now doesn't seem to be in existence.

most those threads were ~2 years old as well. Femno talked about 'jetspeed' but that was like a 2007 thread and i would not be game getting them to do anything.

so yah... search didn't reveal much besides Freddy and i'm interested to see if there is anyone new on the scene that i don't know about

i work with f/g and c/f at work all day. depending on what you r planning to make might b able to help u out.

but do understand at the moment, cf is very expensive, around 160 per metre and depending on size of what yu planning on making, u may need to make a mould.

pm me wat your makin and ill let u know wat i can do and some "after hours: tradesmen that do this stuff.

I'm driving a sad old Ford Falcon at the moment untill my new car gets here in October. It's a 2010 Audi A4. I've also got 2 C110 Coupes, one is a restoration project and the other is in storage. I spoke to the guy who bought my car a while ago and I spotted it on the road also. Wouldn't recognise it now, it's got black wheels with a polished lip, no stripes and a new pod filter fitted but the sounds of it, looked nice though.

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
