Hi guys! I want to build an almost 100% carbon fiber rx7 body on a tube chasis. Can this be done? Would it be fast? What should I do first?

just buy "carbon fiber " vinyl stickers. Cheaper. And nobody will know the difference. According to Honda guys it's the real deal.

Is this carbon epoxy fiber very hard to work with? I want to pop a wheelie. Will it do that/.

There is a guy who made a first gen out of carbon fiber. Put a 20b in it.

You will be hard pressed to do a wheelstand unless you put a V8 or huge turbo and run a Porsche G15 trans... Or hell, even a FWD trans over the rear wheels.

I was trolling for funny replies but I am actually relatively serious about the endeavor and also have the know how and resources to accomplish it. Any chance you could point me in the direction of his build thread or any additional info?

An FD would obviously be preferable since I can take the 3D scans or molds from my car that I already have but a 1G would be helpful.

there you go from start to finish the whole process is fairlly well documented. It is not a 100% carbon fiber but a whole hell of a lot of it is.

Holy hell is that gonna be expensive. I'd probably just wait and by the Lexus LFA, yeah?

First thing you will need to do is build the tube chassis, then have them build you a carbon fiber body.

Carbon fiber can be a pain to maintain. Has anybody here seen the Nemo Evo project? I believe that car's entire body is CF.

There was an article in a magazine a few years back, the guy had a tube chassis carbon bodied FD full race car, I think it said he still owns the molds but the car cost like 70k

I traveled down this road.
I had, re-adgt clone in carbon fiber wide body(2.XK)
GTC clone in carbon fiber(1K)
Some chinese rear bumper in carbon fiber(300$)
gt300 hood(800)
seibon doors and hatch(used for 1k)

All that was left is the unibody as non fiber. totalling just under 5k. It is possible to get close you just have to be dedicated. I still have the gtc, widebody, and hood if you want them shoot me a pm.
