ok, to make the thread more related as it seems to have gone a bit of track!... any pictures of an OEM spoiler wrapped?

Lol seriously....

SuperCase is an idea used in ferrule's in high pressure fittings. there is information out there, not sure where online. a friend is trying to get hold of a dvd which should help more on the subject. the basic concept, is it treats the outside of the material, but not the inside. harding a component throughout will make it brittle, the supercase process increases toughness but keeps durability through having a ductile center, the same strength to that of the part before process. the main idea for this was against corrosion, as 316 rusts badly unless treated (in given situations, we have salt fog testing you'd be surprised how rubbish 316 is at corrosion resistance when put to the test). Martin, the process will be free i understand replacing parts may not be. i think it would be a SERIOUS pain in the donkey to try and get it apart. most people on here haven't claimed to have gear problems, mainly bearing issues? if i could find someone to take it apart, and replace the components for me i would like to try this. if i get NO problems i think id be prepared to do the process again and see how far i can push it? brendens supercharged NA would be a good engine to put it to the test. though it would be design for failure.

Where I work we do a chemical process called SuperCase. would it be worth doing this to weak parts in the box to try and stregthen it? This topic is a common one, but this process has not been considered as far as I'm aware. Supercase is not like annealing and does not make the part more brittle. Anyone else who is familiar with this process have any considerations on this? And please don't say just buy a 6speed or r154.... if I can strengthen my box for NA-T for less than a few hundred quid I think its worth trying. The price will be this low due to being an internal employee, it may not even cost me anything, those the process is not generally this cheap and far more expensive. Opinons please

lol this thread got out of control a bit i think. it was just an idea as something different to make.

As above. I'm nearly ready to start painting my current project, it won't be long for it's complete so am thinking of new ideas. Haven't worked with carbon fibre much, but want something challenging. Has there ever been a OEM carbon fibre spoiler? It would be a pain in the bum to make the moulds and get it to be a perfect fit.... but dam it would look sweet?

lol how did u do that? just a postcode view or something? thats classic.

im hoping to get my centers chromed, looking to cost me about 125GBP for that service. just thought id let you know if you decide for something similiar.

they are split rims. ive a version of these oz's for my rears with larger centre. the time will be taking the nuts off! i would think if you took the time to split them apart yourself and got a company to sandblast them you wouldn't spend a huge amount. they are two piece. get a photo of the rear of the wheels to show where they come apart better.

you've air in the system mate. i had the same problem.

the colour was definitely shot. thats the SAME colour and it looks awesome! im well impressed!

that wasn't running 9.5J on the rear thats for sure!

you cud get sheet metal cut up in stages to help make this design, do section every few inchs to give u gradual changes. group buy!

u cud put a gel coat on the mould then carbon over it with resin. cf resin £££££ . rather than shape the carbon itself. an.idea?

you wud need to make the shape, build a mould around it, try it in fibreglass then carbon fibre. i might be up for trying this. once i finish my current fibreglass project.

how come your running 2x hodge? do you find any performance related improvement?

have you tried a software update?

I might be interested in your drivers side pillar. any idea on how much posted?

max bhp at 4k rpm now THATS a friggin engine! GLWS
