Dusty - you have a PM regarding the short block...
Are all the CF products real CF (excuse my ignorance), and will the door panels have all the right holes for mounting? Are any more bits required or is it a straight bolt on job.
Many thanks
Rich

Thanks Dusty for the extra pics, however I can't see how you mount the electric window control panel etc?
Wow! there are some very cheap prices there. great work guys! :)
Thanks Dusty for the extra pics, however I can't see how you mount the electric window control panel etc?
There is not a pre-cut hole in it for the window control panel or speaker. A lot of people that purchase carbon fiber parts like this are serious about weight savings and would be removing items like that anyhow. Seibon makes their parts with that kind of mentality is the best way I know to describe it.
If you want those parts, you take a dremel (not sure if you call them that in the UK??) and make a nice smooth cut into the carbon fiber. If you are not comfortable doing it, a good body shop would make the cut for a small fee.
Cheers,
Dusty
Any offers going on Greddy 3-row intercoolers?
Oh, and how many door cards have you got? How well do they fit the carbon doors, on a scale of: exactly/bit of tinkering/right bugger? And how many carbon trunks for sale are there? Please :)
All Seibon products are 100% real carbon fiber.
That looks like fibre glass on the back of the door panels?
I'd love these - remind me of the M3 CSL.
Centre storage boxes would be good made of c/f too.
Any offers going on Greddy 3-row intercoolers?
MKIVstore I believe is currently doing an offer on them, so I figured I would wait until next month so as to not interfere with that one.
If they are out or you still want pricing please contact me, I will work up a total to your door directly.
Kind regards,
Dusty

I have 5 sets of door cars, but just sold 2, leaving me 3 sets.
I would say these fit somewhere between exact and bit of tinkering. If 10 is perfect and a bit of tinkering is a 7, these are like 8.5.
I have 10 boot lids.
Kind regards,
Dusty

Absolutely it is fibre glass on the back. All "carbon fibre" products in this industry are backed by FRP (fibre glass reinforced plastic). The only exceptions are dry carbon fiber products.
I offer 2 dry carbon fiber products for the Supra. The Modellista Designs rear diffuser (copy of the Top Secret but in dry) and the Veilside hood ($4,000 last time I checked!). Dry CF is extremely expensive and extremely light weight...its only for the very serious racers trying to save every last gram.

Dusty

Understood. Only reason I mention it as when you describe something as "100% C/F" people get confused :)
The Envy Supra has a Dry C/F hood BTW. (Sorry, I mean bonnet! :D)

Ah ok, I see what you mean. Sorry, my fault. I think I am used to the USA a little where that kind of information is more prevalent and assumed. What I mean by 100% C/F is it is 100% real C/F, not imitation C/F like you may find on many other cheaper products. Dry C/F is not all that pretty as I am sure you have seen in person. While it most certainly serves a purpose, it takes a certain kind of person to appreciate it.
Envy's Supra has a dry C/F bonnet? Very nice! Not often you see one of those.

agree how about these can they be done:D
jeezz,

Its a Stout one Dusty, Stout CF parts are dry carbon.
Plus you deal with Varis too don't you - they make a dry CF hood for the Supra.
Gaz.
What does the tailgate / boot weigh does it come with lexan something to replace the rear glass ?

I did not know Stout was dry.
I deal Varis as well, also was not aware it was dry.
Thanks for the info Gaz!
Dusty

About 6.8 kilos. It does not come with lexan, you source that on your own.
Kind regards,

Depends if it includes VAT!
Gaz.

I cannot give you a VAT receipt for this Deal No. As I am running this a personal favour to board members, taking money through my personal account to save on transaction Fees. I take the 1% to cover the £25 I get charged for transfering internationally.
We didnt realise that people would need to do this so it was a last Min thought. If you order Direct from Dusty you will of course receive a Full invoice.
I must also state that Usual MkivStore trading is run 100% legally and no monies for the business are EVER transfered from customers into any personal account.
Dusty,
I've sent you an email about a white PHR Silicon Rad hose, off your site, just in case you missed the email. Can you let me have a delivered price please.
Also interested in whether you have any white Hosetechniques kits?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
I have responded to your email about 15 minutes ago. I just got in the office 3 hours ago so I am still sorting all my mails.

Hmmm not strictly true. Well actually not true at all. Carbon fibre generally comes in two forms. Dry and pre-preg (wet).
Dry carbon is supplied with a dry cloth that the user applies a resin to, a bit like you would with fibre glass matt, and you then let it cure on the tool.
Pre-preg has, as it's name suggests, the resin pre-impregnated into the cloth. It's more expensive than dry due to this, but the resin is more evenly applied to the cloth as it's not roughly mixed into the carbon as it's being laid onto the tooling. This stops you from getting "dry areas" which occur's when you don't get the resin all over the component and it looks fecking awfull.
Dry carbon fibre is not used very often nowadays as it's messy and if you've got anything like half decent tooling, there's no benefit of it over pre-preg. Other than it being cheap. Pre-preg gives you a MUCH better surface finish than dry carbon.
The Seibon door cards look like they are made from pre-preg carbon as the finish of them actually looks pretty top notch. In my mind the reason they have an FRP backing is to make them cheap. Which is a real pity as they're more than likely just 1 maybe 2 plies (1 or 2 layers of carbon cloth, usually about 0.25mm thick) and the rest of the component made up of fibre glass.
The thing that really get's me about these is that you could probably get away with 4 plies of carbon, which wouldn't actually cost that much. You could even have 1 ply of 0.25mm 90 weave to give the good surface finish, and then use some much thicker 0.8mm tooling carbon (which looks a bit daggy but you you'd not know about as it's under the surface). The 0.25mm stuff you can pick up for about £25 metre square, and the tooling carbon is surprisingly cheaper than that. Certainly a 1mm thick component would be stiff enough. The body work on our F1 car is only about 1.2mm. (Although from a different grade of carbon costing £125-140) Seibon have already got the tooling, they're just getting extra profit by making the backing out of fibre glass instead of carbon.
I'm actuall gutted about this as I would really have liked a pair of these. :(
edited to add, I've just had a look on the Seibon website. What a load of old cock.
Q. Are your products made with 100% carbon fiber?
A. The " carbon fiber" material is just a piece of cloth. You can't make any shape out of it without some kind of support. We use fiberglass backing to construct the skeleton.
That is absolute bollox. I spent 2 years making carbon components with my own hands, and never once used fibreglass or any other "support". NOT ONCE. You lay the cloth onto the tool, put the next layer of cloth on top of that untill you have the right thickness, stick it in a bag that you apply a vacuum to, and then stick it in an oven untill it cures. Once it's cured you take it out of the oven and take the tool out of the bag and take the component off the tool. That's all.
Thanks for the information Tony. I became familiar with the differences in C.F. a few years ago working with IPT on their spark plug covers. I was not going to post the extremely technical side of it in this thread, as I really do not see it having much of a bearing.
What I said is 100% true though. In this industry, virually all C.F. components are backed by FRP. Again, I am referring to this industry and this industry only.
Kind regards,
Dusty
Fair enough. Just seems that when something is called 100% carbon fibre, it should be. Almost had me fooled as I was looking to get a set of door cards, and you know I wanted a spark plug cover as I thought they were as advertised. 100% carbon. If they're FRP with a carbon finish I'm not as interested as I was. :(
What I meant wasn't true was the fact you were saying dry carbon is a more expensive and better product, when it's not the case. The only thing that would make it more expensive is the fact you'd have a lot more scrap whilst trying to produce a product of the same quality of pre-preg.
Just saying that it's accepted within this industry to say a product is something it isn't, doesn't make it right.
As for it having a bearing on this thread, if I was interested in spending an amount of money on these products, I'd like to know what the facts of the matter are. Not be fobbed off with some garbage about "dry carbon". :rolleyes:

Yeah yeah Tony, you just one of those stuck up F1 carbon types he he :p . Welcome to the real world where real carbon fibre is too expensive for us mortals! LOL
£25 a meter mate. You could probably easily do a door card with about 10 metres.
£25 a metre mate. You could probably easily do a door card with about 10 metres.
So not too much more expensive then. But I guess the R&D time is where the money goes eh?
So the £500 delivered for some door cards is actually pretty good considering the Kudos you'll get! LOL
Imagine the Kudos if they were really carbon fibre though eh?
It's such an easy process to laminate carbon fibre. Seibon have done the hard part in getting the nice top surface. Beneath that you can be as rough as you like! If they used thick, coarse tooling carbon, they could probably get it for £10-15 a meter. The main cost is in the tooling, which Seibon have also already done as it's exactly the same tooling as you would use for the products they're producing.
It's just a pity that Seibon have decided to cut this particular corner when there is no need. Like I said, I was ramping up to buy some of these products. I'll have to have a re-think now as I wanted the real deal, otherwise I might as well go for some of that "carbon fibre sticky back plastic" and save myself a shed-load more! <shudders>
Why dont you see if Seibon will do a special run just for you? Who knows you may be supprised - err or maybe not?!?
Why don't they just make the parts right to start with? LOL
Why don't they just make the parts right to start with? LOL
Im sure in their eyes they are right. Im mine too actually. Not everyone is lucky enough to work inside your arena where every micro gram counts!
IF they did decide to make a true 100% C/F TSII bonnet. At a sensible price that Tony suggests is possible. I reckon that would clinch it for me.
The biggest gripe I have of these at the moment is that they save very little weight compared to a stock bonnet.
Actually Martin, IIRC FRP is lighter than CFRP, it's just not as strong, so in order to get the same strength you have to make it thicker which adds the weight back in.
How it can be right in anyone's eyes is beyond me. The only reason I can see why you'd do it is because they're probably made to a cost, and the best way of keeping a healthy profit margin when the manufacturing process is the same is to use cheaper materials.
Perhaps people aren't willing to pay £600 for a set of 100% real carbon door cards.
I know it seems like I'm nit-picking but it seems "in this industry" very few people are prepared to really stand up and make "real" quality products. They seem to go for the profit and willing to sell comprimised products.
Like I said, it's a bit of a shame as I believed from the hype that Seibon were making 100% carbon products.
Is that the difference between modifying and motorsport?

Well I certainly wouldn't expect to see an F1 car with "Carbon Fibre effect" stickers over the wing mirrors. ;)
I can understand the modification market is bling and cheap and not function.
