Wez Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm sure it says Carbon Hatch on there for sale to fit Supra but cant read it, There is a Seibon Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid for 1993-98 Supra available on the MVP site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yes but isnt this stuff the proper dry carbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yes but isnt this stuff the proper dry carbon? Looks like it to me, in the picture of the roof sat on the chop strand mat (CSM), the surface it is placed on looks to have the double-sided tape you use for attaching the 'vac bag' to when vac forming composites. It also looks like they used a mix of carbon with some CSM looking at the rough edges of the roof (untrimmed), which you dont really need to do when vac forming....maybe they were low on carbon at the time and wanted to make it a little thicker?

Pete Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 will the kerb weight be around 1,000kg? Depends how much he's going to put back into it I guess. If he builds a custom bare dash and no interior like a proper race car it could be quite light indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I realy can't see how this thing is goin to be any good at time attack with a freakin 47-80 strapped to it, I mean 1st unless he has some huge trick up his sleave to put the power down all its going to do is spin spin spin and then there's the issue of lag and the onslaught when it spools up and hits hard. Its an interesting concept but I realy can't see how its going to work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Can the boxes be rebuilt the same as the MR2 boxes with a higher final drive? Is it an auto or a manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 standard 6spd box. He's going to run 315 slicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 will the kerb weight be around 1,000kg? i doubt he could get to that, thats Ultima GTR type weight, have a look at the interior of a GTR they are uber minamalist and have the added advantage of being able to use an all ally engine/transaxle rather than our boat anchor block and diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Plus the body is fiberglass and the chasis is a spaceframe and without being to contraversial i think a mid engined 600hp GTR would beat a 1300hp Supra in pretty much all situations on road tyres, i'm not saying the guys wasted his money as its an awesome project i'm just struggling to understand the rational behind it, to me its got one use only.....drag strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surly if that sort of power was a good idea for the track would the GT guys not be doing the same thing with the vast amount of money rather than using say Vipers, astons, Ascari's?
