body kits CArbon Fiber or no
ok so i found a great carbon fiber body kit that i was gonna buy http://www.carexcess.com/bodykits/rx7.html teh second one down the white one the thing is that it cost 3 grand which isnt a problem the thing is that i found the same exact thing but its not carbon fiber its some other meterial its 1500. Should i go for the carbon fiber and pay more for less weight or just get the cheaper one?

Neither. Also, the kit in the link is not carbon fiber.

it looks to me that all the kits are fiberglass the only parts that are carbonfiber is the rear wing. the kits you are looking at are made by veilside. Veilside dose not have too good of a reputation on this forum and personally i hate how that look. if you really like the look its your car. i would also suggest looking at the classified section of this forum because veilside kits sell for less then $500 here for the whole kit so you can save yourself a lot of money. honostly i would get the cheaper fiberglass version because having just a CF front sideskirts and rear bumper looks outta place.

I produced the Carbon Fibre parts for Mazda Australia for the RX7-SP.
I still produce these parts. The parts in the kit I supplied Mazda, Front nose cone under tray support brake duct pair Air Box Air Box Duct pair Air box to Turbo Hoses (pair) Intercooler Ducting (2 parts) Air pump muffler Fuel Tank (120 ltr) Rear Wing All these parts are made from Carbon Fibre. (there is no fibreglass in them, like some copied parts) :p: |
cf fuel tank :S
|
yes Carbon Fibre fuel tank.
These were fitted to all the RX7-SP road cars. We made a race version that had ball valves and baffles to stop fuel surge during racing. I still build these, I am in the process of building a race tank to get used in this years Bathurst 24 hour race. ;) |

Yes, but I will have to scan them as they were taken years ago, I am making some parts at the moment so I might just take some digitals as they get finished.
|
I have uploaded some photos of the Turbo hoses and air pump muffler in the photo gallery under miscellaneous. just waiting approval.

One post you're not doing any racing, another you want 340hp to win a race. All this before ever getting a liscense! |
If you are looking for carbon fiber body kits for the 7, you could check out www.carbon-creations.com . I am sure you have seen their sponsored car before, anyway all their stuff is made out of carbon fiber. I believe their front bumper is a c-west knockoff made out of carbon fiber.
