Mister2.210-28-2005, 08:33 PMWhat CF parts would you guys like to see done for the MR2? G3aR10-29-2005, 04:28 AMwell, i think you should start off by listing what you have done and post some pics. that way we have an idea of your abilities and what kick ass products you can put out. Mister2.210-29-2005, 12:22 PMI'm only asking what you would like to see done, that is all. :) turboguy10-29-2005, 01:33 PMWhat I want to see done, I make. (or I have a friend tha owns a company to make it if it needs to be absolutely perfect.)

So far, I have done many misc. small parts, a massive sub box for a mkIV supra, dash panels, filler panels, my crowning achievment, MKII cf ttops, a full interior for a 94 RX-7, and in the middle of the full interior in my 91T. The rest is all military (I am a fabricator for a company that makes the worlds toughest military and fire trucks www.oshkoshtruck.com ) The entire front ends of the HET, Wheeled Tanker, and MTVR are all composite. So are the new Revolution(c) drums for our larger S series cement mixers. Our highland Cement trucks use a 100% composite cab. :) turboguy10-29-2005, 02:06 PMMKIV Supra sub box ($$$$)

I didn't actually do the work on these, they were manufactured by Chaser Aero since they had to be EXACT to keep from leaking and wind noise. They are my connection when perfection or large quanities are required. :) I'm just the middle man with these. All of my other stuff, I made my self though. Including the prototype ttops (went with 3 different designs before I said screw it and went professional)

Mister2.210-29-2005, 08:13 PMGood work man! Why not selling them in GB on this board? canadam10-29-2005, 08:14 PMI love those t-tops, but can't justify the cost :( Ryansmagic10-30-2005, 10:06 PMCF Doors....with inside panels built in and CF Speaker grills that you can remove(to change speakers) This would prolly be expensive but yeah....awsome... Mister2.210-30-2005, 10:22 PMI wont be making any structural parts, like doors, insides maybe. alderaan3410-31-2005, 01:12 AMhow much would a cf dash w/the speaker cover on them? Mister2.210-31-2005, 01:31 AMMKII parts only :) alderaan3410-31-2005, 01:34 AMdamn.... turboguy11-01-2005, 08:38 PMGood work man! Why not selling them in GB on this board?

I am now! Just opened in the gb forum. The bad thing is only 1 week left to make your deposits. AceX11-02-2005, 03:58 AMIf you did start doing MK1 parts for fun, I'd like to see basically all the interior plastic redone in CF. I would like to see my car be a mix of FG, CF, and metal. GF311-02-2005, 11:12 AMDoor panels and a center consoule... nmonty11-02-2005, 12:12 PMI could go for some doorpanels. I want ones like medpilot made a while back that replace the leather or cloth area with a carbon fiber panel. EL PAALO11-02-2005, 12:17 PMdoorpanels like medpilot's old ones and a shifter surround like the vmax. GF311-02-2005, 01:04 PMon a serious please do this guys that would kick ass DrPaine11-02-2005, 06:43 PMdoorpanels like medpilot's old ones and a shifter surround like the vmax.


That would kick total ass!! ALLSHOTUP11-02-2005, 07:09 PMThe metal grate that most people remove that covers the exhaust. That would be cool for a few of us who do not want to remove theirs. alderaan3411-02-2005, 07:16 PMwait what metal grate that covers the exhaust? Glitch00111-02-2005, 07:18 PMMKII reference alderaan3411-02-2005, 07:19 PMwell that explains that lol, hmm, Irvine, the first In-N-Out Burger central office is there...

Do you have any pics of the things your in progress with? mishkautkin11-06-2005, 11:26 AMdeff t-tops, but the price needs to be somewhat reasonable + core charge for exchange for the stock once, would be nice. turboguy11-06-2005, 11:58 AMTtops have already been done (YAY ME!!!) Check out the gb section. toytech11-06-2005, 03:48 PMsunroof panels (impossible to find rust free) hood with bulge and vent over the turbo, rear hatch and spoiler all for a 4th gen celica (alltrac) DrPaine11-06-2005, 08:25 PMCF Condom? heh j/k....... I'd like to see some interior panels and misc pieces made. I think I am goign to make myself some FG ones soon. Who knows.. turboguy11-06-2005, 09:26 PMCF Condom?

I can see the advertisements already...

Stay hard longer!! Hell, stay hard forever!! :lol: 20incher11-06-2005, 11:28 PMCf condom...i do believe that would cause friction and tear and then you'll be buying CF baby stroller and car seats... Nacho11-07-2005, 03:55 AMTHIS PIECE

That part doesn't bolt on, it's an extension of the body.

CF front fenders would be neat, especially if they gave a little more tire clearance (without doing the TRD step-down at the door). nmonty11-07-2005, 01:06 PMSomeone needs to make those door panels imediately :) canadam11-07-2005, 01:09 PMWould fenders really be cost effective when taking in consideration the weight of the stock pieces ? I'm thinking money could be spent elsewhere. turboguy11-07-2005, 01:54 PMWould fenders really be cost effective when taking in consideration the weight of the stock pieces ? I'm thinking money could be spent elsewhere.

They work for the people that want them and don't care about benifits or cost. I guess its just for the bling factor. :rolleyes: Mister2.211-07-2005, 02:11 PMWell, you would save a bit of weight, plus you could have the flares built right in, and you could paint them, which personally I would do unless my whole car was CF. GF311-07-2005, 09:18 PMSomeone needs to make those door panels imediately :)

I concur then i don't have to make them and i can make a center consule Mister-Twoster11-07-2005, 11:19 PMId like to have a C/F lip, like that one that MADPSI makes... but cheaper. I cant blow $500. Nacho11-08-2005, 05:33 AMWould fenders really be cost effective when taking in consideration the weight of the stock pieces ? I'm thinking money could be spent elsewhere.
I'd want them more for the width increase than the weight savings so i can put more tire under the thing. The widebody kit isn't my thing w/ the step down by the doors (I think that makes the car look cheap). I heard there's a company making FG fender replacements that are 10mm wider than stock, but retain the stock look. However, they're in europe, so the shipping cost and wait time would be a bit.

As for weight savings: people offer CF windshield wiper cowl pieces (to replace plastic) and CF decklids (to replace OEM fiberglass). :dunno: nmonty11-08-2005, 08:12 AMI concur then i don't have to make them and i can make a center consule

I have thought about making some. It really just involves cutting the shape out of a flat panel. Im just way to clumsy and I shakey. I know I would screw it up.

Does anyone have any pics of medpilots panels? I used to have some, but my computer recently crashed and I lost everything. ALLSHOTUP11-16-2005, 10:22 PMThat part doesn't bolt on, it's an extension of the body.

CF front fenders would be neat, especially if they gave a little more tire clearance (without doing the TRD step-down at the door).

That I know . I was hoping for a stylish cover or something of that nature. Don't want to remove mine as the car is way too pristine.

Eric Nacho11-18-2005, 03:35 AMThat I know . I was hoping for a stylish cover or something of that nature. Don't want to remove mine as the car is way too pristine.

Eric
I think some sort of big rowdy, pissed off looking diffuser would be the best replacement choice :o DrPaine11-21-2005, 10:57 PMI wouldnt mind a CF body kit, not the lip crap, a full out CF body kit, Like a Bomex CF kit. I'd have to change my undies! bazooka tooth11-21-2005, 11:14 PMoem bumpers GF311-22-2005, 11:28 AMyo is anything getting made yet???? nmonty12-12-2005, 12:54 PMhttp://www.baktasht.com/_images/cars/wbmr2/IMG_0260.JPG DrPaine12-12-2005, 10:06 PMThat is beautiful. I would pay for those if they were real CF 2x2 weave.

And with the fenders, I would def rock CF fenders as long as they allowed me to put more rubber down. Maybe without the factory lip so I dont have to roll my fenders. mr_deuce12-14-2005, 04:34 PMi would be interested in the CF fenders strickly for the strength factor. Our fenders are way to flemsy, i already have 2 dents from little to no effort caused.

but someone needs to make some more CF interior parts. and CF rear diffusers!!!!! teck212-15-2005, 07:22 AMHow about fender flares, just like the ones veilside does for the supra vr401-08-2006, 02:25 AMCF engine cover and trunklid, CF spoilers, T-tops (very nice.)


i have my own plans for a trunklid so CF for me might be out. lol Dumbscout01-15-2006, 06:33 PMWhat about CF replacement pieces for the interior? I would love some CF in there, but i'm not too crazy about those stickers they sell on ebay
:thumbdown But I would like some CF in there. What about colored CF? Is that an option also? That might be kewl, do a red and black weave, I've seen that somewhere, but not on anything in an MR2, other than those stickers. Redlyne_mr201-16-2006, 07:35 PMLets see some more engine lids thwam01-19-2006, 01:40 AMI would love it if somebody made a complete carbon fiber insert for our dash. Like the kits they sell on ebay, except not stickers.

I laminated mine in carbon fiber, I think it turned out pretty good....

http://www.mr2board.com/forums/interior-mods/1854-carbon-fiber-dash-pieces.html?highlight=carbon+dash thwam01-19-2006, 02:55 PMThat does look good. Do you have pics of it installed?

Todd Mekkahfire01-19-2006, 04:05 PMFor the love of GOD make carbon fiber center shift kits like TwosRus used to make.. ive been bugging him via email for the past month about it lol Dumbscout01-20-2006, 10:41 AMwhat did those look like? Mekkahfire01-20-2006, 03:43 PMPure sex. Thats what it looked like.


http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3378/vmaxshift7zy.jpg Mister2.201-20-2006, 04:54 PMThe round center really clashes with the MR2 Interior. On it's own I think it's nice but it really does not match anything else. Mekkahfire01-20-2006, 05:11 PMAre you joking? I think thats the best part... i would rather have it like OEM ABS plastic with the circlular center.. Mister2.201-20-2006, 05:17 PMUh no, I'm not joking? It does not match anything in the car. Like I said, it's nice but it clashes with the interior. gs91turbo201-21-2006, 12:18 AMAs odd and stupid as it may sound...Carbon Fiber Mudflaps...I don't have the OEM ones, so it would be cool to get them made, then color match them to the car (that way, no one would jack them)...Maybe even the rear center mesh grill...Something along the lines of the 94+ spec shape...

-G-

We are working on a full replacement 94+ tail light center panel (not an overlay) Mudflaps sound cool, but one properly placed stone at highway speeds could destroy them. As for the shifter surround, I was planning on doing something that still followed the lines of the interior, offered additional clearance for B&M and other short shifters that always hit the factory surround, and still had a nice machined billet trim surround. Dumbscout01-23-2006, 06:52 PMThe center shifter panel thing looks hot, that gets my vote as well. thwam01-23-2006, 09:12 PMMedpilot has announced on the other board that he intends to do another run of the shifter surround. Rocketman01-28-2006, 02:31 PMAny kind of dash. It wouldn't have to look like the OEM or anything.... just be a functional easy to install complete carbon fiber dash! I want the weight savings! Oh, and when will a company finally do fenders for our cars?! I mean honestly...every other car has carbon fiber fenders available.

1 more thing... these are really sweet! ;)

http://www.carbontrix.com/toyota.htm Billj74702-04-2006, 09:49 PMMonocoque chassis? AceX02-06-2006, 02:19 PMSeriously, even if they are overlay, I would buy up some of the MK1 interior pieces... jokers2102-09-2006, 11:25 PMyeah i would definitely like to see door panels mr2pmp02-19-2006, 02:01 AMJust start pulling parts off of a MKII. I can almost guarantee, if you make them, people will buy it. CF side mouldings? You bet! CF headlight bezel? For sure! CF floor mats? Ummm...probably a couple!

But what would I like to see? I would like to see a CF spoiler that replaces the trim piece where the roof meets the rear window. I mean a spoiler like the MKI guys can get that extends out over the engine lid some. It's really just a little extesion, nothing overly extreme. That should help create a low pressure zone above the engine lid that would help pull air up from underneath the car and assist with engine bay ventilation. At least I think it would...

And a rear diffuser and very flat CF underbody panels. That would be hawt!

-SH ecm garrett02-26-2006, 02:57 PMim not even sure how itd look in real life, but in my head it looks good - a ducktail CF spoiler for the roof of MKII cars. id buy one.

CF fender flares would be great

CF door panels look amazing, id like to replace my stockers with those

oh i got another great idea - removeable CF cup holders lol, id love to have a cup holder in my car, why not a CF one? lol

any updates, anything made? ecm garrett02-26-2006, 02:59 PMoh one more thing - something ive seen made for rx7s, evo, and lots of other cars - a CF piece that attatches to bumper to keep soot from collecting on the rear bumper.
ive seen ones for other cars and tehy are cheap (20-30 bucks) and im sure lots of people would buy them, they are good looking and have a real function

ps - looking on that carbon trix page, they have a couple cool things, like pillars, but i wouldnt want gauge mounts in one.
also the fuse cover in engine bay would look nice, help clean things up even more Mister2.202-26-2006, 08:51 PMJust so you guys know, I didn't start the thread because I was going to make anything, although I may. I just wanted to get some ideas thrown around. :) Mister-Twoster02-26-2006, 10:34 PMWhat about... oh man, what about like a CF toms scoop type of apperatus? I want one of those really bad. Where can i get one, CF or not? ecm garrett02-26-2006, 10:45 PMJust so you guys know, I didn't start the thread because I was going to make anything
damn you, you need to make some stuff Mister2.202-27-2006, 02:02 AMdamn you, you need to make some stuff

:) Maybe. MR2azzkicker02-27-2006, 09:38 AMwhat i would take if it were offered:

CF doors like ask motorsports
CF trunk
CF fenders

v/r,
steven Mister2.202-27-2006, 12:22 PMI don't think I will ever make anything like CF doors, maybe somebody else here would take that on... I may do the interior door panels, though. skillzo102-28-2006, 08:31 PMAs for the shifter surround, I was planning on doing something that still followed the lines of the interior, offered additional clearance for B&M and other short shifters that always hit the factory surround, and still had a nice machined billet trim surround.


So r u gunna make one? If so when? And do u need a short shifter to use it? turboguy03-01-2006, 04:19 PMSo r u gunna make one? If so when? And do u need a short shifter to use it?

My projects are on hold at the moment. The wife and I just bought a bigger house with a fairly large shop so I can be a little more organized with all of my projects. We need to finish moving everything from here to there before I start with the surround.

Also, it will work with the factory shifter, it just offers additional clearance with short shifters. I already have a prototype base done out of hardboard and I'm working on the CAD for the trim ring (more than likely a 2 piece, part above the base and part below) This will hold the boot in place and also keep the base from flexing. skillzo103-01-2006, 04:50 PMMy projects are on hold at the moment.

Cool i'll be lookin for yours or tyson's, but i heard tyson's is gunna be extremely expensive this time around. So i doubt i'm gunna go that high. I heard that the 175 twosrus was chargin last time is only gunna be a memory. MR-Fixer03-04-2006, 01:38 AMT-tops for a MK I. jokers2103-14-2006, 11:28 PMyeah i would like to find carbon fiber door panel inserts where the cloth is i would buy it mr2pmp03-14-2006, 11:58 PMI really think a guy could move some full CF doors. Maybe not all at once, but interest seems to be consistent. I bet you could move like 5-10 pairs in an initial offering, and keep like 10 pairs stocked. I bet you they'd move. Especially if the person offering was willing to take payments on them ;) After all, ask sports' doors were over $3k.

FWIW, I know I would buy, even if I had to get another credit card to do it.:D

-SH canadam03-15-2006, 12:04 AMNah, they're 1500 US approx. for a pair.


After all, ask sports' doors were over $3k. cdallen03-15-2006, 01:33 AMim looking for cf dash, center console, and the door inserts for my mkII. how much would u charge shipped to minnesota? ween19105-16-2006, 09:30 AMcf dash would be sweet. let me know if someone cooks one up. MR2azzkicker05-16-2006, 02:01 PMNah, they're 1500 US approx. for a pair.

ask motorsports are only door skins not full doors and yes, they are about $1500 but you still have to get them shipped. so i would imagine for a full door it would be like $5k for the set. i have seen an english company make full doors but i think they were very expensive. mr2pmp05-17-2006, 12:24 AMNah, they're 1500 US approx. for a pair.

I thought the 1500 was per door. My bad. That's actually a rockin' price. Now if someone would just step up ;)

What is the door "skin" exactly. Is it the whole main frame of the door, minus the interior trim? Asksport's doors looked like full doors to me. Here's the best pic I could find. The door sill area appears to be CF as well. That's why I thought they were full doors.

(yes I know that Fazio is trying on a set) thwam05-17-2006, 02:58 PMMedpilot is going to start selling the surround thru twosrus within the next week or two.

Todd canadam05-18-2006, 03:56 AMLook at the pictures on the website. It appears to be a full CF door to me.

How about making the door handle cups that always crack...??? canadam07-11-2006, 08:22 PMCan you post a picture that doesn't need a log-in?

From any picture I've seen of the Ask doors, they are a full replacement for your door, all you do is transfer window stuff, wiring, weather stripping and doorpanel, etc.

To me, a 'skin' is only the OUTER part of the door, used to replace a damaged door body panel.


The doors from AskSport are complete, not just skins.. wickedmr207-11-2006, 08:31 PMCan you post a picture that doesn't need a log-in?

Phoenix, you ought to run a GB on them! PHOENIX07-21-2006, 12:22 AMhonestly, i just cant see people paying $3000 bucks for doors. I know of 1 person that would probably get in on it, and thats it. Plus theres no money in it for me. I wouldnt want to jack the price up just to make a few bucks off you wankers.

If someone seriously wants a set, i could probably get you the contact information to get them directly from the company. canadam07-23-2006, 02:35 AM1500 a SET mr2pmp07-24-2006, 12:04 AMThat would be cool.

that would be sweet piece I'd agree Raptor13x08-11-2006, 09:50 PMThat piece is welded to the car. You need a hacksaw and an angle grinder to get it off, and then you have nowhere to bolt a new one. mr2pmp08-11-2006, 11:28 PMTouche'

Unless the CF was formed around a metal piece or several that run the length of the part. Then that metal could be welded back into the stock location.

That said, I wouldn't buy it. It would be destroyed so quickly on anything that gets driven that it wouldn't be funny. It seems like it would be silly to put it on anything BUT a pure show car. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but IMO it's useless and ...*gulp*... ricey, again, unless it was on a pure show car. If you are looking for weight reduction, just cut the stocker off. Just my 2 cents. StolenSpark8308-11-2006, 11:54 PMHow 'bout a small sub with passive radiator enclosure that fit behind the seats in the storage pockets? Or an Intake Manifold? - I've seen it done and think it looks slick... Maybe even the side intercooler/intake scoops in front of the rear wheels? ModifiedDude08-14-2006, 09:20 AMMore lips!

Is this thread still being taken seriously? Have any of the parts here been produced or anything?

heres some cf stuff 3sgtepower11-11-2006, 02:35 AMId like to see a CF flushmount HID kit, it would be really weight reducing if it got rid of the light motors too. Mister2.211-11-2006, 03:01 AMThis thread was really intended to give those who do make parts an idea what everyone is looking for. :) PearlJammzz11-11-2006, 03:25 AMI woulkd like functional stuff. I think a total set of well-designed underbody panels would be sweet. Flat underbody panels w/ a rear diffuser would ROCK.

This would take some knowhow and prob. some mimicktry (spelling?) or a ferrari or something but would be CRAZY sweet and add to the handling of our cars at high speeds. I'd drop some serious cash on one that was functional and looked good.

I also think interior pieces are sweet too, but nothing outside of OEM. an OEM dash would rock, as well as door panels. This being both for MKII's and MKI's. The MKI's are hard to find decent interior pieces for.

Most of all I want the underbody panels/diffuser. If you can get me a complete one of those that fits and bolts up easily, I'll even fu*k you for them :). 91mr2racer01-10-2007, 02:52 AMis their a wing like the trd wing with cf in the middle just wondering since yall are talking about cf IPS Ryan02-15-2007, 10:57 PMIf you wanna get a price together for all plastic peices inside let me know.

I already did that, and NO, we will not be making more. We made 40 sets and 38 survived shipping, so be happy if you have a set. :) They sold for $500 plus shipping and we were just barely able to cover costs.

Its possible. Cars like the McLaren F1 and Indy cars use a full composite monocoque unibody. It really isn't something you would see sell though. $200,00 for a bare MR2 shell just wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. shimric03-31-2007, 06:59 PMIts possible.

I kno.

How many people would it require to get that price down to about 10k for a GB? :p

Answer: Just about every mr2 owner known to exist.

Nothing CF is worth it being on a MR2. IMO

Prime example... I had a CF hood. Wrecked the car. I hate that the hood was ruined more than the car...... Not rly, but you get the point I hope. canadam03-31-2007, 07:12 PMI don't get the point. Your car got absoluely toasted, the hood looks bad, but its not even close to keeping your car off the street. shimric03-31-2007, 07:53 PMI don't get the point.

That made me lol.

My point was.. If someone got a bunch of cf parts for their car and ended up totaling it, it would suck because all of that money would be flushed. But I guess that would be the case with any upgraded vehicle... So.. yea... canadam03-31-2007, 07:59 PMyea.. :lol: TomsMR204-05-2007, 12:31 AMid like to see more fiberglass and less cf.

cf prices are going up. the weight difference between the new woven FG mats and cf is negligible. you get nearly the same weight, reasonable strength (most parts made in cf arent weight bearing anyway) and 1/4th the cost.

we need more fg hoods, trunks and engine lids. canadam04-05-2007, 12:44 AMid like to see more fiberglass and less cf.

Agreed. I'd like to see some fiberglass replacement parts that look stock. So I can get the weight savings with losing the stock look. turboguy04-05-2007, 06:38 PMAgreed. I'd like to see some fiberglass replacement parts that look stock. So I can get the weight savings with losing the stock look.

I was considering starting to do this, but I no longer have my MR2 to make the parts from. I've actually just started making a 1 piece front end for a Chevy S-10 (yes, I know, but it pays) He wants a 1 piece that tilts forward for engine access, and it has to have the Silverado SS bumper, TrailBlazer headlights and grille and a raised cowl for clearance of the new engine.

CF is hard to come by recently and less people are willing to pay the higher prices for pieces. I have also been looking into the fiberglass that looks like carbon fiber. It looks just like a 2x2 twill cf, but its cheaper and its also easier to work with. Ryansmagic04-06-2007, 12:05 AMTurboguy, I have an MR2 you can borrow to make parts off of :D I'm only an hour away!
