Title: E30 VW - now with added fibre
Post by: illyun on March 23, 2009, 05:18:38 pm
Added a CF bonnet to the Ed30 last week and Hurdy found today so I have been ordered to post some pics  :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Taken last night so didn't come out too good....

I'll take that as a complement  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:   

But just so you know, I can't help it  :ashamed: :ashamed:

Blame the arch-instigator... he told me to put the photos up ....The source of all expensive mod urges.....  Hurdy  :innocent:

































Of course, no arch-fiend is complete without an accomplice... speaking of which, where's RedRobin?   :grin: :grin: :grin:

Now that's interesting, because i remember you mentioning that you where going to get the boot and other bits done, i was wondering whether the weave would match. So it must be Seibon, Have you got the other bits on or are the coming soon.  :smiley:


And it was a compliment, I am not brave enough to have naked carbon but every time i see it close up i wish i was.  :happy2:

I know it was meant as a complement  :signLOL:  However, its funny how people can get the wrong message on forums and e-mail... I always take it in a positive sense which probably means I've been happy when insulted in the past  :rolleye: 

Its not Seibon either... Its a company called Knight Racer who specialise in carbon fibre kits etc... and they had a Nissan GT-R for sale when I went to pick the bonnet up - they even let me sit in the driver seat and I was tempted to say, 'Where are the keys?'  :evilgrin: :evilgrin:   The weave matches my CF Badge and grill - or maybe I'm a too blaise about these things.    They advertised it in R32OC for a £350 group buy offer in Autumn and when they had the bonnet for sale on ebay for £595 a couple of weeks ago, I pm'd them through R32OC and got it for £400. 

I'm not sure if OSIR do front wings so I might have to get a set of Siebon panels but I was looking at their prices a week ago and it costs something like £630 for a front wing and £1000 for a door?!  Plus they don't have a rear hatch panel on the website.  When I decide to go for a rear hatch etc.. later this year I'll probably buy a bonnet at the same time and sell this one.  Only problem is I am finding myself thinking about the 'neglected' R32 more and more and turbo conversions which C2 Motorsport can do for about £7000 - good for 450bhp...  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: I've already pencilled in a WOT box and short shift kit install for the R32 this summer  :drool:

dude dont turbo the .:R supercharge it  :drool: same money at the workshop I use will see it to an easy 600bhp. they are currently looking for the first UK car to have the kit fitted (it's been trialled successfully and sold in LHD form) so will offer a substancial discount!

i would do it if it weren't for the fact i want a cruiser

as for your bonnet, TC is perfectly right...you're a slut  :evilgrin:

Do they have a black car with a red strobing light?  :laugh:

Not a fan of CF but it seems to work ok. Is the front grille surround in CF too?

All Robin and myself do are guide those of a modding nature into the light of worthy products :evilgrin:

Nice frontage Illyun :happy2:

A supercharged R32! Now there's a thought :jumping:

Post by: illyun on March 23, 2009, 08:14:25 pm
Hmmmm 600bhp R32 and a 280bhp Stage 1 Revo Ed30 or 250bhp R32 and 350BHP Ed30?


Anyone for some Bilstein PS9 Coilovers, CF bonnet, Miltek TBE, Eibach ARBs, Quaife LSD, BBS CHs, EVOMS Intake  etc... off an Ed30  and a kidney (left or right - please specify your preference) off a 33 year old man? :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Looks good Illyum, sounds like a bargin the OSIR stuff has shot up in price due to the £/$ I think the TT Shop have had to put them up £200 and they were £900 anyway.

Are you going to paint? Mines in at the moment.

Thanks for the comments guys...  One thing I would say is that it is a bit heavier than it should be as its not 100% CF -  metal underside.  However, it is still quite a bit lighter than the OEM bonnet and for the price, well worth it.  I know KR can probably do 100% ones too.  In terms of quality, it is excellent and just as good as the OSIR ones in terms of looks.  I'm not sure if it is 100% CF or has fibre glass added too which a lot of them do.  The only 100% CF one I know about is the one VW Racing do, but it isn't cheap  :scared:  When I get round to doing the rear hatch, wings and maybe doors, - mega funds permitting - I'll sell the current bonnet so that I have a full matching set from a single manufacturer.  I'll most probably go to VW Racing for the carbon bits, but they need to go back to their supplier and get that dink sorted that I saw on JonnyCs bonnet and their own demo car at Santa Pod. But its just dreaming at the moment as my mod funds are at the zero mark at present.
