My jaw was dropping at this "reality" list until I saw where you're from Great stuff, but I think most of it belongs on the "dream" list |

Uhhh......stiffening? Lighter that steel......... |
QUOTE (jonwatts @ Aug 27 2005, 01:47 PM) | ||
Ahh, I think it'd also be more flexible than steel unless you have a huge autoclave to be your pressure cooker. That's how they make carbon fiber race car chassis. Everything else is pretty much just prettier and slightly lighter than fiberglass. |

I've done many, many, many repairs on composite structures (wings, stabilators, fuselages) in the last 18 years, all had to be NDT inspected, all checked good. |

Another of my own dumb ideas: A copy of the firewall in CF or FG from either side (engine compartment or passenger compartment) to sandwich against the metal with a layer of insulation to help with sound deadening. Then again, the fact that the top layer would be a hard surface might mitigate any benefits from the insulation layer Just trying to think of a way to reduce noise for those who think taking out the sound pad makes the cars too loud. |

If my new Billet oil coolers made from intercooler cores work well you may not need an external cooler at all.... Just bolt this baby in the stock location and drive...... I am testing them next week- all billet and bad ass!!! |

200$ isn't bad for a hand fabbed, oil cooler.... |
QUOTE (Jake Raby @ Aug 27 2005, 02:55 PM) | ||
They won't be bad at all... Probably 200.00 or less- and they bolt right on to the stock case boss AND will have a modified airfoil to help squeeze more pressure into the cavity to make up for the loss of having a bigger cooler core (surface area)... I am working on 3 of them for different apps as we speak, one is much bigger for the DTM/ 914 applications - 200$ isn't bad for a hand fabbed, oil cooler.... |
QUOTE |
It also seems to me that there is definitely a market for this, because 914 people seem much more compulsive about their cars than bug people |
QUOTE (Jake Raby @ Aug 27 2005, 03:34 PM) | ||
Big difference though... The bug guys spend A LOT more money on their engines than teeners do.... Thats why I have pretty much gave up on making new and exciting things for the 914 version of the TIV engine... Those Billet oil coolers are really being made for the VW Bus guys (TIV engine) that have oil temperature issues and certainly don't want an external cooler. Heck I only did the 914 version of the DTM because I had enough people wanting them that it would pay for the mold to be made... |

Since were all on this C.F. kick and no one else has mentioned it.....how about a C.F. backpad mold. EVERY 914 I have ever owned/werked on/ bought & sold has been rotten on the bottom. I don't have ANY good ones and have 3 cars lined up that will be very nice, to perfect if I could have decent back pads. Shpould be relativly easy for someone with experience and a vaccum bagger hint hint hint |
