ebay carpet pieces

[Danial]

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices (http://www.ebay.com/itm/260398623205?item=260398623205&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr)

Anybody have experience with these? Any pictures of what it looks like with them in?

I dont want to spend $160 for new molded carpet if I can live with just putting these down on my floor, if there isnt a cheap solution I'll just live with my stains and tears

[nightsauce]

Those will fit like poop.

"These are Semi Custom Floor mats not OEM Style Custom Floor mats . While Semi Custom Floor mats are not made specifically for each vehicle , they are not one size fits All like Most Universal Fitment Floor mats sold all over Ebay."

Look for OEM fitting floor mats.

[Danial]

bummer, haha, another case of ebay is too good to be true

Anyone have experience with heating carpet with a blowtorch and fitting it yourself?

No, but that sounds like a wonderful idea. Please film the process and post your results!

carpets not flamable at all.. all those cotton wool curls are naturally fireproof.. go for it

[Danial]

I'm seriously thinking about it, going to start looking around for cheap carpets now, any suggestions?

carpets not flamable at all.. all those cotton wool curls are naturally fireproof.. go for it

the underside is usually some sort of plastic polymer, i didn't say light it on fire i would use the blowtorch to heat it from below and then press into place//


Not sure what sort of adhesive would work best yet though, thinking probably anything meant for roofing will last a long time and will probably be cheap

[blueshark123]

if you wanted to heat up a carpet. Use a heat gun stupid not a flamethrower

[Promise Land]

go get a new carpet from stockinteriors.com as Peter Tarach did for his S13 build. They are $200-$250.

[Danial]

trolls lol, wheels are dOpe, not impressed, if you want to feel cool online go somewhere else

if you wanted to heat up a carpet. Use a heat gun stupid not a flamethrower

true, good call i'll borrow one from a friend
I was more wondering if anyone had tried to fit carpet and where they sourced it from, not looking for shag, just black car carpet

[carter,wade]

Has to be the best thread i read all day:snoop:

[spartanmisfit]

Fuckin assholes are running rampant on zilvia even more now...

["His Avatar"]

[drftx]

Lol cheap people now a days is rather pay 150 that's OEM then oemcarpets where.u still need to do work and is 250

["His Avatar"]

Thats cuz your smart. You get new rims yet? lol

[bataangpinoy]

illiteracy is again a problem in america. apparently also a problem here on ziliva, and most car forums where idiots rage out over carpets and ebay.

[drftx]

Thats cuz your smart. You get new rims yet? lol

Me? Lol yeah check out my build thread

[Danial]

lol why would i pay 150 bucks to have nice carpet when i could get fresh tires from the junkyard, enough gas for a long week of hard driving and a pizza for that much ....

why would i spend that much money on a car i got for 1500 bucks and have been fixing for dirt cheap by my own hand since then? I got it as a DIY project while im poor paying for school, so no i cant afford to spend a lot on something with no real purpose

this place cracks me up :rofl:

WOW.

I no longer have to make fun of this kid. He did it himself.

People like you are the reason that other car people now look down on 240 owners.
Like i said before sell your 240 and set yourself on fire. Sell it to someone that knows what they are doing. My bf could always use another chassis to restore.

@driftx - I like the works, they would look sweet on my car! lol

Agreed and agreed

[Mishkin_707]

i say stick with the blowtorch idea, these people are crazy and don't know what they are talking about, the carpet wont catch on fire, wool isnt flammable, ever see a sheep on fire? exactly! i vote 'blowtorch to mold the carpet".

[nismoracingsx]

Or just get a kiddy pool and some industrial black dye. Stains will magically disappear, and the carpet is already fitted.

that RIT dye has me wondering, thing is i have a dark brown carpet but its not the regular soft cloth, its kinda like a weird tweed thing, anyone have this same carpet?

["His Avatar"]

You mean 89-90 carpet?

[I LUV MY S13]

Hit up crimsonrocket he's got one for 150


150..? FML I just sold a mint condition carpet for $80 like 2 months ago :dead:

[Mishkin_707]

yup, dont get why i had the soft micro fiber seats with that shitty tweed carpet, my friend has the same exact year and color coupe as mine and he got the soft carpet, i can honestly say mine is the only tweed brown carpet i've seen

["His Avatar"]

Thats how all SOHC my bf owns have been.

Soft tweed seats and thick carpet. The dohc carpet sucks ass IMO.
I love his 2tones carpet and seats. I want them in my dohc.

I will look into that thank you for actually being helpful

====================================
TROLLS

:picardfp:

your signature says it all... wtb jdm ero..... Aero? why?

Hell yeah super fresh outta the junk yard

you've obviously never drifted before, get used tires with over half tread for cheap so i don't burn brand new ones.... that just makes sense
:newbie:

I go to school pay for it bought my car for cheap and when I fix it I use quality parts sad how my wheels cost more than you're car

join the idiot above lol, my enkei's are just as quality as what other wheels that size are lol, just not as PRETTY as you would like

i say stick with the blowtorch idea, these people are crazy and don't know what they are talking about, the carpet wont catch on fire, wool isnt flammable, ever see a sheep on fire? exactly! i vote 'blowtorch to mold the carpet".

lol things that i've used a blowtorch on that I shouldn't have
-to heat the stripping i put around my windshield
-to heat rubber hoses so they will fit over tight AN fittings and then stay on
-to heat paint on a house last summer to get it heated for removal **before you guys freak out YES THE HOUSE WAS WOODEN and no it didn't explode in a ball of flames

the carpet would only explode in flames if i coated it in gasoline, wool is really difficult to light haha

Thats how all SOHC my bf owns have been.

omg please leave my thread, I can't believe you are discussing how cool carpet is
:gives:


Attention:
When I say that the blowtorch will be used to HEAT, i mean HEAT not burn.
Blowtorches are used for heating very often, its actually their main purpose, starting a fire isn't

Let me google that for you (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=blow+torch+wikipedia&l=1)

Wool has a heat of combustion of 4.9 Kcal/g, meaning I have to heat it to almost 600 degrees before it will ignite

:drama:

sounds like a plan, found out I already have the RIT too woop

yea haha, i love this shit, everybody loves to hate everyone else, i just want to have fun building my car and not spend 10 grand

[dkim1985]

i dont want to take sides here..but i agree with this statement.
im tired of hearing people talking sh*t about 240s because of those owners out there that trash their's because they think they're cool.

i love my car..so i don't mind putting money into it for quality parts~

when it comes to the carpet, i would rather spend the extra couple $'s to have it fit as close to perfect and professionally installed.
if you're going to be drifting and crazy sh*t..just strip the car and pull the carpet out..saves weight~

[pacotaco345]

:newbie:

You've obviously never drifted before.. And not everyone on this forum drifts/is a cheap ass like you. If you want old, cheap, used, shitty tires go to the cage behind a tire store and get them for free. If you want tires that will last more than 2 minutes at an event buy cheap new ones that don't chunk when you slide on them like junkyard/cage tires. Then again you proly just slide around on the street for 30 seconds at a time with your flaming carpet and junkyard tires licking the curb with your ebay exhaust around every corner.. So there's no real need for you to buy new tires.

[Hoffman5982]

You are too stupid to insult.

If you can't afford to put $150 into your car to freshen it up a bit and make it more presentable then just get rid of it. There are too many people with mindsets like yours that own these cars and it's the reason this scene is fucked beyond repair.

people like him are the reason most of us old-schoolers dont read/post anymore. calling them "fucking idiots" was fun.................... for a short while

why hasn't this been closed yet

because you were waiting for me to post. i feel sorry for the mods who have to read all this brain-rotting shit


i just want to have fun building my car and not spend 10 grand

yeah well, i think the point you're missing is that being a cheap fuck doesnt get you very far. you'll realize it, sooner or later.
