carbon fibre 3 pod a pillar

rice_eater · Post by **rice_eater** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 9:41 pm

i finally got around to doing this, thanks to TeamliviD pushing me to do it over and over

i think it looks wicked, and couldnt be happier about how the fiber stretched around, and that i could make it all out of one piece

enjoy, and get your paypal ready if you want one

EDIT: not clearcoated... looks fcked up coz i'm in the process of sanding it before the clearcoating... once that's done i'll of course post a lot more pictures

its sanded, the only clear spots are where the water haddend dried yet... it still needs to be clearcoated

haha, that's one of the things they say in most "how-to"s i've read... after epoxying, sand till part is smooth and looks all fucked up

then clearcoat/gelcoat

That does indeed look badass!

To bad I have no use for a million gauges in my car.

Nice product though!

Wish I had an engine that needed that many gauges.

Agreed, im down for a full CF pod for the drivers side and a regular CF A pillar for the pas side....sell as a matched pair

rice_eater · Post by **rice_eater** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 2:21 pm

around 150CAN for both... i'll know by this afternoon when i pry the cf off the mold if it's strong enough or if it needs one more layer... if it does, it'll be about 180CAN for both... i too think that they'd look better as a pair and always planned to sell them as such, but if someone really wants just the 3pod, then lets say 100-110CAN... how does this sound?

I want one of those. Mine got stolen a little bit ago, along with all my gauges. Ill have to look into getting some gauges...it might be time for a wideband...

so whats 150 CAN in US funds?

for us non Canucks...

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 3:04 pm

if you give me a good reason as to why i would use 3 pods on my engine, then i'll be all over this just for the reason of shows

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 3:06 pm

oil pressure, volts, a/f.

thats what will be in mine.

rice_eater · Post by **rice_eater** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 3:34 pm

you should get a scan gauge, oil pressure (dummy light comes on at like 4PSI oil pressure, waaaay too low) + A/F or your option... the aeroforce scangauge i have shows everything the engine is monitoring, plus works like a full OBD computer and the ability to record; htere are different gauges, that only monitor a couple things each, so you can get 2 of those coz they are cheaper....

Damn, what did you use to make the pods themselves? I would kill to have something like this for my Daytona. FWDPerformance only sells a 2 pod for it.

Send him an A-pillar and maybe he can work out something for you on the side

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 8:36 am

I'm to lazy to go google... where's everyone buying there gauges at?

I might just have to go the "ricer" route and get these.. ha!

If you're into Autometer, they've got a killer selection. They've got almost everything listed on eBay.

i just used the plastic one from modernperformance as a mold... there are how-tos out there on how to make your own out of 2 1/4" abs pipe and bondo and i've seen people make some really nice stuff but it would have taken me way too long to do that... if you can get me a plastic one, i'll make as many as you need for you and your friends, that's no problem at all

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 8:51 am

How much would you charge for a 2 pod?

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 4:09 pm
