Thats what i thought. lol
Keep an eye on us. Were blazing trails.
We also will be entering into negotiations in January to produce parts for the "Radical" racecar that uses the Hyabusa cycle engine. The West Coast distributor for this U.K. built racecar is trying to further reduce the weight of the car, and was watching us test our 350 Z aero setup in AZ. this weekend.

s14 lip spoiler, slightly bigger than the origin one with a bit more angle pleaaaseeee

20 til 3 · 11-30-2006, 07:48 PM

that would be the greddy lip there

as for the SE lip, that would be a good idea to make it w/ a different style cutout in it, not sure what exactly but yeah..and price it around 120-150 because a new factory one is like 170 and people would buy out the ass for that kinda stuff

Ian · 11-30-2006, 08:41 PM

BIGGER than the greddy one with MORE angle?

Uhhh....

Plus, CF lips kinda suck...If you crack it, you can't fix it..they're expensive...etc

I can't wait to see the work you'll do on the Radical...I fucking love those things

I just made these doors today for my Silvia, 5lb's and one measly ounce. Gotta have a silver bullet for that damn JIC S15 this weekend. I wasn't able to get the hood ready because i was so busy getting the 350Z's we sponsor ready with their parts. My car is ready to do some damage now though.

Nahhhh son

For a while all he was doing was the interior 240sx cf honeycomb stuff but everyone was sleeping on it cause they didn't recognize game!

Just message him, he can make you whatever, but for him gauge panels are kids stuff, easy!

20 til 3 · 12-01-2006, 09:40 AM

where did the body line go? hahaha

*kognition* · 12-01-2006, 10:12 AM

The "body line" commonly referred to as the "crown" is a funtional strenghtener for sheet metal and funtions as a backbone. It is a funtional part of a metal door. The way we make parts is completely different. Therefore a "crown" is not needed, and it inhibits full surface contact of the top and bottom laminations to the aluminum honeycomb core. That is the best way i can explain it. And it is a race part, nobody cares at that point if you are tracking the car if there is a body line.

Better pics of dash and door, trunk. We just got back last nite from ButtonWillow. Had a great time, though i fouled an injector.

drew935 · 12-04-2006, 02:47 PM

your car is lookin sweet. It's all business and function. White with white TE's...teh sexxxay

what times did you post at Buttonwillow even with a fouled injector...?

*kognition* · 12-04-2006, 04:12 PM

My best time was a 2:13 .
I had an in car video so i will work on that this week to get it uploaded. Not too shabby for my first weekend ever at this track, and a brand new car. The thing that sucked the most was that there was no gravel in the run off's. Just good old Bakersfield farmer dirt. And the inside of my car is full of dirt. The JIC Silvia just cooked every car out there. COOKED EVERYTHING. It was like 10 seconds faster than the fastest AWD out there. Insane.

***S14DB*** · 12-04-2006, 05:27 PM

Trunk that goes all the way with bolts for the factory supports would be nice.

O Ok... are all those openings allowed?

Any more pics?

Carlos

*kognition* · 12-05-2006, 01:31 PM

Not after this weekend. They had a meeting and said they would be amending the rules after seeing my car. We just did not have any time to drill the speed glass out and install it on the rear and sides. And the damn installation kit included only enough foam strip to do the front window. And i wasn't about to throw on a $1,000 window kit onto bare metal and screw it down.

Yeah I know that CyberEvo ran 1:51 in unlimited class. The Evo I worked on ran 1:56 in AWD limited class. Still ranked #6 in AWD but #1 in limited class.
Good deal at least you know what tweaking needs to be done.

*kognition* · 12-05-2006, 04:23 PM

Lots to do now. Thats for sure.
