Carbon Fibre side sills for gen 1?

[Tomas]

Hello everyone

My side sills have start to oxidation (corrosion) again, so this will be the last season with these. Who sells side sills in carbon fibre? Anyone have used CF ones for sale? Anyone have normal alu side sills for sale?

regards

Tomas

There is a place in AZ that makes glass sills. Yes, I know, their site is poor.

I am going to get a pair next winter, I repained my sills this past winter, but after I was done I looked at them and thought to myself I should have sone something different with the insultion so I do not have all the screws/rivet holes showing.

If anyone has had any experience with these sills please let us know. The price seems right.

I have the actual Gen II side sills with the heat shielding modified for a side discharge. I was gonng to sell them for $1800 plus shipping. They would need to be painted to match your yellow. Right now they are blue.

I thought you had some GenIIs sitting around a while ago?

 

[jasontiff]

Nouri can sell you some fail.

HEY Chuck,

I did have some, but then This guy Named Nouri pretended to have some in stock to a guy and he then begged me to sell mine to him so he could actually ship something he had sold. I sold them to Nouri, actually got paid for them too, still waiting on the $$$$ he owes me though, been since July 9th or 2009, when I do get him on the phone, the payment is always coming next week....

How much do the GenII CF sills weigh?

they were about 3 lbs

Sounds right. The stockers were 6.6.

It's strictly a cosmetic piece so what's the least amount of CF layers you could get away with? And the cheapest weave?

HEy Chuck,

1 layer of twill, the rest in uni, for this part, I would try to make it light but strong, the heat shields are going to weigh more than the part they are protecting. There are better places to save weight, Rear glass to Lexan $450, wheels, 2 piece rotors,

You would be better of bolting this package to your car

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

That's the ACR-X package isn't it? Got the same for a 97 GTS?

I already have a splitter cut apart to fit on a gen 2 front and only have the bottom profile on the stantions for the wing to finish off for the package to be finished

I'm interested in a splitter only for my GenII. What would this cost? Thanks Steve.

Let me know when you got it.

 

[Bird325]

My local tech is developing some sills for sale. I'll let him know that people are looking.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

I don't need anything pretty so if your tech wants to build a prototype for me I'll take it. And please use the cheapest CF available. All that ground effect stuff can almost be labeled a consumable on a tracker and if it looks bad so what, I'll throw some paint on it.

 

[Bird325]

Haven't heard back from him yet. I may cruise over to the track today and see why he hasn't responded.

 

[GTS-R 001]

HEy Chuck,

I have some Gen 1 Carbon fiber sides, if that would help you?

Thanks Steve, but no Gen I for me.
