I am going to start to work on making one and keep you guys posted on the process. It will take me longer since I am going to do it on my own rx7 and I don't want resin getting on my engine bay or car.

 

ya but only for RHD rx7's

the brake Fluid Reservoir cover would fit tho

 

Excellent!

 

That red FDs engine bay is too sexy..

I tossed the idea around about painting the abs black as well, and may end up doing it if im not able to find someone who can make a carbon cover.


Sweet! I'm interested to see how this turns out.


If anyone is interested in starting a group buy interest thread, feel free to do it..

and count me in!

 

Yeah dude, the entire car was retarded. The attention to detail was amazing. Prew is a cool modest guy too.

 

I was trying to find more pics of this piece so I can look at the work that needs to be done. I have tried searching for it and can't find anything.

 

Thanks man I've been in Browns Mills a lot recently, always hoping to spot your FD!

 

yeah ABS cover in CF!

 

^^That is just sick... I always wondered what it would look like under there with everything all blacked out. And wow... Now I want to get rid of all my polished crap even more.

OK... So I started making clay molds of the shock tower areas on both sides to try and get started on this. I agree the three piece idea is a bit much, but when I build something I very much am **** retentive enough to try and do it right the very first time. This of coarse does not always happen, but it usually allows me to only have to make minor changes to subsequent renditions.

I do not plan on having anything put together anytime soon. Someone else may have this all done before me. But I am not out to make a ****-ton of these and sell em either. If it turns out good enough to sell some (and I refuse to sell anything less than something perfect) I will definitely make some for others, but I don't have lots of extra time.

 

Hey bud. Yeah, I'm TDY for 6 months bro. I was in Tampa, now D.C. Hope you don't see the car around base because that means the wife has it....LOL.

Hope all is well. We gott hang dude! I'll hit ya up when I get back this summer. Just in time for this year's Carlisi BBQ.

 

Wouldnt it be cheaper to delete the ABS? and have a cleaner bay?

 

Hah it's an option for some but I prefer to keep the abs working.

Nice dude. Where about in florida are you? I am also going to give this an attempt to see where it goes.

Maybe we can merge ideas :-) is there a way to mold clay so that when you pull it out it stays in the same shape as you laid it down?

 

Orlando area. Yeah, I picked up some clay that hardens as it dries, no baking needed. I pulled them and they look pretty good. Hopefully in a week or two I will have time to lay them with fiberglass to see how the mold works. To be honest, it may not work out well. I may just lay fb in the engine bay and then use a better mold making compound on the fiberglass to create a better mold for final product.

 

Caesar its Chris, you where right about that black and red FD sick. My **** just looks good in pics lol.

Pinting the ABS black to hide it I can see, bring in the world of engine covers, wheather CF or not is just plain stupid IMHO. Entering the current car world of out of site out of mind!

 

whats wrong with out of sight out of mind?

 

Interested to see any updates on the mold, etc.

I called shine several times this week but no answer. I'll try again next week.

 

Kinda cool but I never really saw the point. What's wrong with having those areas exposed?

 

There's nothing wrong with it.

Personally I think it just makes for a cleaner engine bay.

 

^ this guy does make basic covers(mostly polished stainless)- but beware most of these parts are for right hand drive, this does make a difference since were talking abs cover.

i think having a cover would be bad ***. then again deleting the abs and getting rid of all the engine bay wiring would be just as sweet but after what happened to me recently i will be keeping my abs intact.

 

Mind to share what happened to you?

 

I'm trying hard to be tolerant, but I just can't manage it.

A cover for the ABS unit, which is already under the hood, has just got to be one of the dumbest ideas I have ever seen posted here. No wait, a carbon fiber cover. There, now it's perfect.

This is how to enjoy a car. Put key in ignition. Turn key. Drive fast until broken. Fix and repeat.

Done best with the hood down, and as little excess garbage attached as possible.
