Hey guys,
The company I work for is tooling up to begin work with carbon fiber epoxy composite parts, and after reading through the thread about weight reduction I thought it might be something that would interest you guys. We would like to offer NSX owners quality carbon fiber parts to help them shed a few pounds, while still maintaining strength.
Our goal is not just to create a great looking carbon fiber part, but to help those NSX owners on a “diet” reach their goal weight, and gain some strength. So, I am asking you guys to let me know what parts you would like to see made in carbon fiber. We will most likely be staying away from parts like hoods and wings as there are already many quality manufactures of these parts now.
Since we have not began tooling yet, I have the opportunity to find out what parts you would like to have in a lighter weight, stronger carbon fiber, and lobby for these to be our first products. We are willing to make almost any part, anything from a carbon fiber battery tray/holder to a rear diffuser.
Just to give you a quick background on the company and the owner:
The company was incorporated in 1995 and worked primarily with industrial coated fabric. We have manufactured numerous products, including airtight transportation bags for nuclear parts.
The owner worked for a company designing and making rocket motor insulation and was the chief engineer for the fuel bladders for F/A-18 and F-16 aircraft. For the Apache helicopter fuel bladder, he improved the drop test, crash test, and burst test and while still passing the gun fire test. He has also had worked numerous hours with wet lay-up of carbon fiber and filament winding.
Please feel free to pm me, call me at (318) 459-2211, or email the company at [email protected]. The company is located in Shreveport, LA.
I look forward hearing your replies and feel free to post any parts you would like see us make or any suggestions you might have.
