charlton Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I was thinking that first pic is not a Supra - if it was it was well transformed I'd love to have it on my Supe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That black Supra is gorgeous! The non-spoiler look is growing on me. I can't view the carbon fibre project thread without an account . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 yeh do-luck full its not full carbon though, its carbon coated, so adding weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 its not full carbon though, its carbon coated, so adding weight The new one is nearly full carbon, they are swapping entire panels including the roof and rear quarters, it's not skinned at all in those places. It's an interesting build thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 nice, better have a fully welded in cage i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 nice, better have a fully welded in cage i hope Its planned, they glued the roof on but reckon it's as strong as a weld, I suspect they will weld the cage though The rest of the pics are here for anyone who can't get onto SF: http://s52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/Stiansen/90%20Prosjekt/?start=all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Bloody hell thats a bit impressive. I was wondering if anyone had the money and skills to do this to a Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Bloody hell thats a bit impressive. I was wondering if anyone had the money and skills to do this to a Supra. Indeed Skills they have, it aint as costly as I thought, I'll be keeping tabs on these guys if they decide to sell after market parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 All that carbon fibre and still they have a standard petrol cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 All that carbon fibre and still they have a standard petrol cap I suspect it's a test fit to check the body is sitting properly Let's see your "fully" carbon Supra with it's CF flap so we can compare the two...

colsoop Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Impressive stuff i would love to have a workshop like those guys have . I believe the Elise chassis is glued with a high strength epoxy. So im sure the roof will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The pic with the skinless rear arch shows a route for a side exit exhaust for those who were asking. The ol' Supe is certainly a meaty bugger isn't it. Personally I wouldn't be too concerned with gluing the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 If I had the space and time I would love to do a bare shell build up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Just looking at the update of this project... (it would be nice to have this thread title changed...THIS has got to be the best build ever!!)...and got me thinking...are these seat brackets needed for chasis rigidity, or can they be removed if you are using a strut bar and/or roll cage anyway?

paul mac Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ..and got me thinking...are these seat brackets needed for chasis rigidity, or can they be removed if you are using a strut bar and/or roll cage anyway? you really would not want to remove the stock rear bracing a rear strut brace which IMHO are an absolute waste of time is no match for Mr T's massive bracing, at the end of the day you want to be making the car more rigid not less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr S Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 You can follow the project on http://www.sommertreff.no/tevodekkprosjekt/index.php , the owner is a norwegian tire-store owner, and he's really going for it when he knows what he wants.... Carbon parts are made by http://www.hpcomposites.no/ , another crazy norwegian with an Doge Ram Srt-10 that goes sideways on all meets he's at...

bolarbag Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Erm I know its a little bit ignorant but is the HPC composite site not available in English? I'm sure it says Carbon Hatch on there for sale to fit Supra but cant read it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
