carbon fiber hatch?
so has anyone messed with trying to make a carbon fiber hatch with a smaller glass (lexan) in the center for an fc.. got me thinking looking a my 350z's hatch...
ima order some cf and give it a try i think, ill post up on here when i get started heres my mastergrade hatch on my z... my fc is only for drift, so im trying to shave every pound http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...460e2d66_o.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...938a35a4_o.jpg |
super now makes a frp hatch i believe and they also sell the lexan glass to i believe. i wanna say there are a couple other companies that make them too but i can't remember
|
I'll do a search for them, I was only coming up with first and 3rd gen
|
Hmm not really the design I'm thinking, I may still go on with fabing one
|
the fcs hatch is basically all glass though. why not just take the glass out of the frame and replace it with lexan? cheaper easier and more effective
|
I'm sure Chris from ZPOD Composites can make something up.. He makes a bunch of CF parts for Supras from scratch and sells them cheaper than OEM would be.
Last i talked to him he was dipping into the rx7 world starting with some diffusers/hoods |

i cant seem to find the super now hatch does anyone have a pic of it that they can post. also i have been trying to find a hatch that a few people in japan have but there very rare. wise sports made one for the fc3s which that is wat i am looking for.

Or you could just remove the hatch altogether and run something like 'livin sideways' has.
Think pop up 240 coupe. That's what his car reminds me of, only cooler and i'm sure the composite cover he has weighs less than the hatch and glass. That hatch glass is definately heavy. |
hm i like how livin sideways did his, im thinking less of an angle tho, so its not like a notchback..ew.. ill get started on it soon i hope if bills all go ok
