carbon fibre saxo body HELP !!!!!!

[richy-90]

does any no any one and any company that could make me a complete carbon fibre saxo body..... any help is much appreciated thanks

[bide_furio]

really worth the cost???? it would be a one off and cost a FUCKN bomb

[VTRelite]

Would love to see the end product and the bill

[jono83]

hope youve got £££££'s spare lol

[richy-90]

hahaha yh i got the money just try to find a body.... iam guna getting a honda civic engine super charged and rear wheel drive as part of a kit guna running aroung 400bhp then later on may get persaued to get nitros by my best m8 sooo yh its guna be abit crazy but that me all over lol

[Ryan]

you are aware that if you want a full shell made you will also need someone to sort chassis for you?

[Pieface]

Well, a Roof is £1000

Then you need people to make the moulds and everything. At minimum, it would be about 35 - 40k

[rapid86]

just vinyl wrap one

why would you waste all that money on a saxo? The bill would be absolutely huge

Would I be right in thinking it would have to have a space framed chassis made and then a carbon fibre shell made to fit on top?

[Ashleyp]

Unless you have an actual race car worth LOTS of money then carbon fibre is just another ASW thing, looks nice, but is it worth the cost? fuck no

[stinkycheese]

Ashleyp; pissing on bonfires since 2008 :D

[jdizzy]

lol.......

[JamesR]

Good luck with even minor chips / repairs :y:

Also it would cost a AWFUL lot. Vinyl wrap is the best idea if it's just for looks tbh

[Ashleyp]

your from bedford? where abouts?

im from there too. lol

thats just how i roll stinky :D

lol.......

That.


So, carbon fibre car, with a supercharged K20 lump.



I wish you all the best. And hope you prove me wrong. But for now, i'm going to say that's nothing more than a dream.



And i'd say that to do all that you're looking at well, well in excess of £20k

[MikeYost]

If you pull this off I will eat my car.

Richy?...richy?...wake up it's time for school :homme:

Instead of telling us what you're "going" to do, come back and tell us WHEN you've done it

[shaunsvtr]

are you loaded not being rude but you have to start a progress thread up if you are doing this lol

[Morgzc]

If you pull this off I will eat my car.

And I will volunteer for a cavity search.

[Bound]

And I will volunteer for a cavity search.

And I will perform the cavity search.

[c20xejay]

richy 90 stands for 90k to waste on a saxo :D

[Saxo-SX]

If you pull this off I will eat my car.

+1 and my cars bigger.

[Morgzc]

And I will perform the cavity search.

You better not have big hands :shocked:

[Bound]

It's not my hands you want to worry about.

I conduct cavity searches with my phallus.

you can get the Zcar kit, for a K20 lump . . . mounts and such... 7500 iirc!
then you need the engine, and fitting...

with that you need the plan and chassis fabricated

so id say 12-15k depending on engine, and such too. once all that is done!

i looked into it.
my mate will fit the kits, as he does them for Hayabusa minis.
he can also makee the frames and cages for it all too.

and it'll still set me back a fair few grand!
maybe in a few years if i still have a saxo!

but as everyone else has said, prove us wrong!

To make an entire shell from carbon will be more than a few grand ontop of the z cars. Then theres the supercharger etc.

i was on about the basic kit with standard shell and such.
i wouldnt like to hazard a guess at a custom shell and chassis!

isnt there someone on here who recently (this year) had the full carbon fibre roof conversion done? and that was fucking costly, to say the least!

Costly isn't the word

waste of fucking money is the correct phrase

its just something to ASW about. In terms of the cost to performance ratio, it's a rip off.

but i guess its worth doing if the plan is just to update a progress thread several times a day and get bummed by the masses over something that is just as pointless as taking a coat on a holiday to africa.

ashleyp....i love your mannerisms and such....they always make me smile!

Stop your flirting lad :homme:

hahaha! Sorry cant help it.....;)

[CHIP]

If you want something different and you're absolutley loaded - go for it.

But i can think of better way's to be different when you're absolutley loaded tbh.

[Mathias]

You say you have lots of money - how much to chuck at it?

and what will the car be used for?

[kc-saxo]

Only on saxp eh ?

[richy-90]

hahaha yh i think the carbon body idea is abit of a misss now but am still guna be doing this apart tho

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

Close the door on your way out!

[richy-90]

and ooo yhhhh guna be chucking about 17k on the kit with own money and then my grandad wants in on soooo could have the money for carbon shell but that but that just a idea for now but really starting to think its a waste of time... but there so much i could do but just abit lost fot the engine its eirther 2.0L civic that can be super charged or with turbo or a 2.3 Ford Duratec that can all so be with turbo or super charged.... really cant wait to start it...

[tuft]

why would you chuck 17k at a saxo? get a grip

[0rang3peel]

Heres an idea.

Borrow my ladder, put it on the side of your house, climb up slowly you don't want to fall off now do you, locate the highest part of the roof (usually near the chimney if you have one), now start sprinting towards the end of the roof, now finaly take a gigantic leap aiming for the hardest part of the ground you can.

Do that now then come back and post about it kk?

[tuft]

17k could get a TVR, know which 1 I would choose.
although you may need another 17k to insure yourself on it

[Bound]

Yeah, to be honest mate.

Buy an Evo 8.

Buy a kit car thing, I don't know, Caterham Atom etc? Don't know how much they are, but they will be quicker...obviously, and are track cars.

The only conceivable reason you'd do this is novelty.

[geordie_alex]

I think that it would be a realy cool car but and its a big but, would it not be easier for you and your grandad to chip in together for a evo 9? 4 wheel drive, amazing grip and not much keep up with them on the road.

Even if you did them conversion your going to struggle for grip, it will end ip driving like the clio v6's that are on a knife edge while cornering and I wouldnt think that you would want this car for life. Preferences change and your never going to get all the money you sink ito it back.

Theres wanting something original and wanting something quick. If you want quick get an evo, if you want origonal give z-cars a ring.

[oli208]

17k could get a TVR, know which 1 I would choose.
although you may need another 17k to insure yourself on it

and another 17k in servicing each year

[VTR-Chris]

what a complete an utter tool

[Saxo-SX]

Why, just why?

ASW In my opinion. Nobodys that stupid to chuck 17k at a Saxo.

[adam2350]

Well just for instance: a Ferrari enzo has 480bhp per ton- a Saxo weighing about 600kg made from carbon fibre and a 400bhp engine would have 650bhp per ton... My God!
... See you later mate!

Go and buy that, and keep the change for the upkeep of it.

24V Cosworth V6 Engine

On ebay for £14,000.

Or chuck £17,000 at a saxo.......

an enzo can out the power down though :homme:

saxo would need massively wide wheels
beefy transition

if you want silly power to weight get a mini with a silly engine

[titchster]

Save yourself about £10k.


Get Z Cars to fit a K20 lump, for £5.5k, or whatever it is, then spend 2.5/3k on a supercharger/ECU, and run about 300bhp.



Still doesn't make complete sense when you consider what you can buy for that price, but makes a hell of a lot more sense than spunking £17k on a car that you'll either... (and this seems the most popular choice when people spend an age building one) sell, or crash, or run out of funds for.

[Cov_Rob]

IMO, classic case of 'I read MAX POWER. I want carbon fiber EVERYTHING!'

As much as i love my car, if i had 17k i definately wouldnt spend it on a saxo.
