If someone buys them on here I want discount, or guinea pig status as a finders fee!

those were dan soulby's old moulds, the carbon plenum that never materialised

If I had any knowledge of carbon fiber I'd give it a go as I think I'd have the time, but i'd likely fook it up and waste too much money. Maybe RT-Performance would be interested?

Prick never gave me my deposit back either.

That's the 3rd time they've been listed

You'll need an Autoclave oven as well I think

B pillars never did fit very well - ask Tarmac or Niko

We've got a Beko oven

 

Doubt you'd get an engine cover in there though

 

I was going to do this the first time it came round, but as I actually purchased carbon made from one of the guys it wasn't that great, in fact the engine heat distorted the carbon. So clearly whatever was done to it wasn't correct.

To go along with the new cuff links you could do a side line of 350z shapped food.

 

How about a large jelly engine cover????

 

A chocolate strut cover? Perfect for any owners' birthday

Scottsoulboy I seem to remember ... last I heard he was on his way to Pamplona for the bull run ... hope he's OK

[rtbiscuit]

that's right it was Scott, he had good intentions, but poor business acumin, dealing with a guy doing the carbon work who was unreliable. the weave pattern was nice, the replacement trim to go round the back of the engine was ok. but I fitted the b pillars for tarmac and they were not the best fit.

He was meant to deliver a plenum. I paid a deposit. Everyone got it back. I pestered him for ages but he just ignored me. I know this sounds weird but there is some weeks where that £100 would have been so so helpful.

[rtbiscuit]

was a shame he never actually produced the plenum, it did have potential

It's not weired. £100 would help me a lot at the moment.

I think it's a shame when things like this happen on here as it's like being ripped off by a member of your own family!

In sure it was a LOOOOOONG way off, if the covers warped, what would happen to the plenum?

 

Making a plenum function as ours currently do requires some decent equipment and considerable R&D.

 

I would never have bought one knowing what I know now about plenums.

[ATTAK Z]

He never did any of the work himself, he farmed it out to a little company in S****horpe. Even he knew the quality was poor and he was looking to source another manufacturer in Kirton in Lindsey near Lincolnbaggie

I was going to start making these myself and use resin infusion to create the products.. Didn't get round to it but I might still do it in the future..
