Stirfry_LGT Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Updates? 1st CF proofs should be today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Gator Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm not interested in engine compartment bling. But CF splitter, diffuser, hood, and trunk for my STI would be very cool. Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine. "Good Judgement comes from Experience.

Can make all that. Boxita has quite the list too, looking to lighten the wagon. 1.5lb rear hatch with built in aero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm hoping for a carbon Cobb SF Intake box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirfry_LGT Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Ok here's the proof in the raw (gives you guys a better idea of the quality straight out of the tool). All pieces are in production. Taking orders/ payments starting tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny part is the 2 of you saw 2 totally different shops. John, you'll have to come down to the shop on the beach sometime. I have an electric "rocket ship" you need to come get a ride in!

Sgt.Gator Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 CF Timing belt covers would be pretty cool. I think you could sell a lot of them.

Stirfry_LGT Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 CF Timing belt covers would be pretty cool. I think you could sell a lot of them. Already on it! The cam sprocket covers will be the first pieces. The center/ crank sprocket cover is going to take some time to make sure I can get the timing marks exact. It may be that we CNC them out of aluminum and bond it to the CF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never have. Now the marks to make sure the belt and sprockets are in the correct position need to be accurate. But the timing marks on the outside, I've never used them.

If the community can do without the timing advancement marks... That'll make it a helluva lot easier during tooling. As for the lineup marks, wasn't aware of any on the covers themselves? Just stamped on the case halves and heads, or so I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Prova Air Intake Guide (https://www.nengun.com/prova/air-intake-guide) would be another nice piece to make out of carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirfry_LGT Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 The Prova Air Intake Guide (https://www.nengun.com/prova/air-intake-guide) would be another nice piece to make out of carbon. Funny you should suggest. I never liked the look of the stock version. So my version increased the surface area by lengthening the scoop to 3/4 of the length of the core support. Tapered to match to flow of the engine cover. Just realized I forgot to post the trimmed proof of the cover... next post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirfry_LGT Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Ok, that fixes this thread. Nick, thank you for coming out to the shop for the pictures. I appreciate it! When our project is out of the shop and we don't have a bunch of whiny engineers in there, I'll give you a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
