D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

[Rocky Rocastle]

Oh yes
It's one of the old Seat Cupra Champinship front splitter's, It's motorsport weave so it's not as pretty as the bit's in my engine bay but it still look's good. I am looking at doing the OE splitter in Carbon though.

i like the sound of this, will this be a one off or

 

[D.K]

How's the console fascia coming on?

I'v had a look at it and it looks quite fiddley, I'v nearly run out of Carbon so it will have to wait for a bit but it will happen

The kit's are pretty expensive and the carbon would have to be joined due to the lenth of the spliter, everything I make at the moment is purly practice to see how I get on with it, If I do do the spliter and you want one PM me and we'll sort something out

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

umm may take you up on that, don't know whether to have a crack one day when i have the space cash myself but i'm not too good on the practical side of things. I'll keep a watchful eye on how things develop though mate, good luck

 

[D.K]

The main problem is you need to practice on small easy bit's so you need a couple of kit's which is when it starts getting expensive, You'd probabley need 2 kit's to do a splitter and they are £50 each

Well done mate looks good. Honestly when you mentioned about doing bits in the engine carbon I had a vision of you doing the charge pipe and mani

Ha know you too well. Even if you do nick my ideas. Take it the shower is all sorted.

 

[D.K]

Shhhhh it's getting there mate

 

[J0N]

The mani cover came out really well, fancy doing mine?
How did you find the wrapping kit? Easy to use? Worth the money?

i see you point then mate, i would probably need 4 kits too as i would bodge 2 up . Maybe something to contemplate when i'm running out of ideas of what to do next.......

Let me do a bit more pratice and I'll let you know
It is not easy to start with, you need to practice on the small bit's.
The main problem is that the carbon is a loose weave sheet so when you start handleing it it starts to come apart and fray.
I'll get some pics of the carbon sheet's to show how loose it is.

 

[D.K]

If your too rough with this stuff it will fall apart

 

[D.K]

Can you tell what it is yet ???

 

[D.K]

Finished and fitted

Yes I know the weave is the wrong way

 

[turbo009]

washer bottle and expansion caps

well done there mate, that looks like really tricky stuff to handle, and an expensive screw up as and when it does go wrong

what was you saying about your engine bay looking untidy

 

[ArosaRacer]

needs an R8 oil cap to go with that now
