What carbon/fiberglass parts you want made?/Intro
Hello rx7 club
We (Devari) specialize in carbon fiber and fiberglass parts for the automotive industry and would like to expand our inventory to the rx7 chassis. We could make both hand laid pieces which are strong but on the heavy side and vacuumed infused pieces which are strong, light weight but cost significantly more then the hand laid pieces. Here are some pictures of our work from the molding process, vacuum process and finish products..... Molds http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...20339_1443.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...20339_1443.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...20339_1443.jpg Vacuum process http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...20339_1443.jpg Finish products http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...20339_1425.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...20339_1443.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...0010075682.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...00010075-1.jpg So let us know what pieces you guys want made from oem, replicas(prefer not to do) and parts that aren't offered yet. I will check up on this thread to see which part has the most interest and will hopefully start a group buy for it and so on.... After the group buys are over the products are still offered but not at group buy pricing. BTW Im not new to this forum my regular forum account is S14.3REW Email- Moe_Devari@yahoo.com Moe |
Our first group buy will be for the FD Sun Roof, which will be setup later tonight.

I'm in for a vac-infused carbon sunroof. I'll try to dig up the old GB threads from other vendors to ping potentially interested parties.

Race and OEM Door panels. Maybe integrate the door panels and trim panels together.

Carbon dash for racing with incorporated gauge hood.

What about shaved interior panels(center console, radio trim and gauge hood) where you could at your own gauges and switches etc.
For example.... This but with out the holes and coin tray only the shifter hole will be there. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...7/DSC00245.jpg Blank radio trim to add your own electronics http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...7/DSC00071.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...IMG_3365-1.jpg I was also thinking of re producing these engine pieces from my old car. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...DSC00351-1.jpg Intercooler ducts for the people with a DIY M2/ASP intercooler style. Replica of one of those Japanese air intake/duct |
OEM Carbon rear Lip?

What about carbon upper intake manifold? That way it won't heat soak like the stock piece... Or would that be too difficult, and extremely expensive?

If a full replacement you are correct about it being difficult and expensive. |
how about making this. I'm sure a couple folks out there want this aswell

YES.
And maybe something to mount stuff into the glove box like this This piece and any other flat pieces are easy to DIY, you could purchase flat sheets of carbon from us also, we just need the dimensions

For example on the red FD it has the same piece but only works with M2 intake/IC But we could make flat sheets of carbon and you could cut it your self to fit your application.

Center console is wrapped in carbon, we could also do carbon wrap/over lay on any piece just PM for a quote. FD Mud Guards? R1 Lip? |
not offering anything in the way of autoclave?
|
I like some of the covers, cleans things up.

Interior plastics.... OEM style.
Meaning door plastics, center shift console, center gauge console, drivers speedo/tach console & top dome piece. Another vendor attempted but I missed the opportunity. I'm just after replacing the old, brittle OEM plastics with something stronger and better lasting. Would prefer an OEM finish, but realize I'd probably need to have the carbon fiber painted. As usual, demand & pricing will dictate. Seeing as how many FD's have broken OEM interior plastic pieces... it may return the most bang for your investment buck. |

As above, full interior for RHD.

If you're just overlaying and not making entirely new pieces, it would be sweet to just send in all the plastics and the customer could just mark what they want shaved. For example, I would like all the interiors plastics covered, and blanking the center console and radio bezel would be fine, but I still want A/C controls and such. Interior door panels are already made by Seibon among others, so I wouldn't bother with that unless you can do it at a significantly cheaper cost. Interior pieces I also think would fine with just hand layed, so long as the finish came out good enough? If a full interior would be way time consuming and expensive, I would be down for just the normal gauge bezel & hood/shifter plate like Rc80 said. Especially if I can get it done in plain weave like the rest of my stuff. Blank the radio DIN would be a plus.

For replacement parts if there are interest i could do a kit which includes 3 pieces center console, radio trim and gauge bezel/hood. |
how much to make this hood for the FC3s?

^^^
If there is interest i doubt we could make a replica because first we need to find that hood to make a mold out of and by the looks of it that piece is from japan so i think it would be hard to obtain. Interior pieces are definitely in our future plans. |
How about the carbon fiber oem aluminum scuff plates?
