Hey hey 2009, awaiting reopening of Kognition Design

[DruidAT]

So this is sort of a shout of for Kognition Designs great carbon products. I'm actually awaiting their new product line, so it would be great to hear from you about how things are going :). Ah, and congratulations on the baby girl!

[zaquanh]

never heard of them , do they make good stuff

[240sxScores]

Yea they make good stuff, in carbon fiber like radio trim pieces and vent block outs for gauges and carbon peices to fit the gauge cluster and radio trim so you can cut your own holes for your own gauges and sunroof delete panels at one time i think.

Best of luck to the company.

Hope all is well.

Mike makes amazing stuff. I'd like to see the new '09 product line so badly... I can't wait.

if you're a premium member you can see his build thread. his car is on hold, he's a dad now, and on top of the fact he's making new aero for some time attack Porsche. I would say his hands are a little full these days.

never heard of em, but carbon pieces would look real nice.. does he have a website?

or is their website down for now?

I had the center console stuff for my S14.
Radio trim.
AC trim.
Ash Tray.


For the 13 I have the big shift plate/radio trim.
So nice.

I'm still waiting for a moonroof plug for my S13 coupe. Would LOVE to get rid of the moonroof glass and mechanism, and go to a standard headliner, get a few inches of head room back. Most other solutions I've seen either look lousy or leak water into the car or both.

He mentioned making one quite a while back, I'm hoping he follows through at some point.

[rchan817]

I dont know if he is going to make sunroof deletes. I asked him about a 14 one and he said the mold is long gone

Being a premie has its benefits.

Seeing awesome builds being one of them.

expensive.... but well worth it. I'm probably going to order his wing stands, they are the shit.. His whole build thread is awesome actually, that section and the posters thread are well worth the 10 bucks.

Holy Cow i just saw this thread tonite. :bow:
Thank's everyone for the kind words. And yes.... i have been busy with the typical distractions that come with being a new parent. And it has taken alot of getting used to. I will start by saying that it is worth it to pay the ten bucks a year to be a premium member. In fact, it is worth much more than that when you consider the resources and deals that shops offer here. And only premium members get access to Kognition carbon extras and B stock parts. Which sales go to my favorite animal organization Friends For Pets. In fact this year is very special indeed for that purpose. We are now producing race wings for the following time attack teams:
P Tuning's Scion
Double Down Motorsports 350Z
Magic JIC Porsche 993, Evo X, and RX-8
JC Meynet (Redline Street Class Champion) Subaru
Some of the team wings will come back for replacements, and the old ones to be auctioned off for Friends For Pets Organization.
Now the bad news for some is that we no longer will make interior parts. I have moved on to more performance oriented goals for the company. Yes the site is kind of closed at the moment, but i will get it back up soon. We will have a very narrow parts lineup this year. But that will be offset by our wing program, which allows us to make custom length wings for each customer. Some of my suppliers have allready gone under recently, and this forced me to re evaluate the goals i had made to grow Kognition. One of my goals was (and still is) to help enthusiasts get involved in the sport of Time Attack racing. And for that, i will make the new S14 Kouki widebody kit, and carbon roof available. As well as templates for things like wingstands for our wings. The roof will come with restrictions however before they can be purchased. I had to expand into racing, because my expertise is in performance composites.

^^ HELL YA!! thanks mike! carbon roof avalilable... that seriously will leave a smile on my face for quite awhile...
