'91 Berlina - revive, turbo build

Where did you purchase the "kits" to carbon skin your parts? The only place I found that sells kits is from the UK (http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/), and it's an arm and a leg for shipping.

I wonder how many PM's you get now from this clip saying "can you make me an exhaust that sounds like that".

haha none yet

Sounds good....would love to get highway clips. Is it too hear someone talking next to you at highway speeds?

I have only driven it once but it actually isnt as loud inside the car as I thought it would be. I don't think I will have any issues with it at highway speeds but I'll keep you guys updated.

I didn't purchase a kit, I just kitted it together myself. The carbon I got from Solar Composites. Its a 3x3 twill 270gsm carbon. I then purchased the West systems resin and hardener along with the pump kit to make the process easier. Its also easier to form the carbon around the piece if you have a vacuum pump and release bag. In all honesty the process is a very lengthy and demanding one and to pay someone else to do it if possible is well worth the time saved.

Do you have a DIY writeup on how you did it and the different resins/hardeners mixtures you used?

I don't but I could write one up when I get the time.

[shawn110975]

looking good keep up the good work. I love DIYers that make owning an NSX that much better. so the guys that cant change a wheel can see what their car could look like in the proper hands.

good job bro need parts only ask.

 

[senna12]

Awesome work on the exhaust I love the way it sounds when you free rev it.

 

[Levworks]

Selling the old exhaust from my car:
http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showt...-Exhaust-for-Sale-CHEAP?p=1787867#post1787867

Finished wrapping and clear coating some parts:

I just finished designing the AEM Infinity Pinout for my car as well so once i receive some connectors from Rywire I will begin to build the conversion harness then switch over to the Infinity 10 I have.

I am also going to be selling the SPL Bucket seats I posted early in this thread. I want to stay with oem seats but re-wrap them I think.

 

[dablackgoku1234]

On a serious note, would you like to be in the carbon skinning business?

 

[06_typeS]

On another serious note, how much for the seats. Please PM me.

At the moment I don't have the time and would charge too much knowing how much of a pain in the ass it is haha.
