Thanks.

Who makes that ?do they make em for coupes?

Who makes that ?do they make em for coupes?

Over make them.

The point of this thread must be -- - -- Make a Coupe one now!

Would be good for coupe, IF it was direct replacement, i.e no gay vents, they dont suit the coupe. Fine for EVO etc.

Exactly. No badge, no nozzle's.

Vents Gay you say?Eh no,not at all.Actually very benificial.Heat escape/disipation.

Well its perfect for my new monster.I need all the venting/cold air feed/heat escape that I can get as Im gonna be running a monster spec engine,so these vents will aid flow from both rad and big turbo.

Lads,there are carbon bonnets out there for the Coupe,I saw 2 carbon bonnets on 2 trackday Fiat Coupes in Japan.So they are out there,somewhere.Just gotta find them

you really are trying to lose weight arnt you?

Yep,sure am.The car will be hopefully sub 900 kilos.

Im traveling over to the UK on the car ferry on Sunday night to collect a set of carbon fibre wings that I had made for the car.Will post pics when I get them and get back to Ireland.

Im also either gonna throw out the dashboard or else have one made in carbon fibre as the oem dash is actually quite heavy.

in a coops the carbon bonnet can lose about 20 kilos? or more?

paddy where are you from in Ireland? what do you use the car for? motorsport? or fast road car or show car?

Never heard of this car before? on any of the irish modded Forums?

after looking at the rest of your pics i see alot of mondello, D1 Cars and heavily modded jap equipment! nice1

What car do you have? I'm not 100% sure on vents etc as I'd need to spend time in a wind tunnel to ensure I wasnt messing with the drag etc.

900kg, whatever car that is very light!

I think it might be a 147 turbo? Paddy - spill the beans!

yeah 147 Turbo by the looks and sounds of things...

The car just got a lot lighter,as of this evening.Just back off the Stena HSS fast ferry from the UK with the carbon wings I had custom made for the car.Drove through the night in the pi55ing rain accross Wales and the UK for these wings.Pain in the arse but worth it in the long run.

Standard metal wing is 7 kilos.

Carbon wing is a mere 0.8 of a kilo.Thats over 12 kilos saved just like that.

Pics of metal wings I sent over to have moulds made,pics of the moulds and pics of the final product,3 layer pre preg carbon fibre wing.Im very happy with these babies.I have some interesting and shocking pics to show you of the car next weekend.I may even start a new thread to show them

Anyway the pics.

Master mould and metal wing in backround.

Overall view of carbon wing.I might just boot polish these and leave them unpainted as I love the look of the carbon weave.

Nah,not for that car.Thats just my road Alfa 147 turbo.I got a roll cage made for that car and lightened her a bit more,but thats it.

The custom and race parts and carbon bodywork are for this,my Alfa 147 Cup race car,that has been turboed and completely transformed into something just a bit special.

very nice! where do you compete in that then? i used to run a few Formula fords at kirkistown etc. and a pilbeam sprint and hillclimb car!

in what country did they race the 147 cup?

Iain

Over in the UK and doing some trackdays there and here in Ireland.


147 Cup series was and is in Holland,Belguim,Chech Republic,Germany etc etc.They go all over the place racing with the 147 series to be honest.There are 147 cup race teams scattered all over Europe

Very nice (race car not the road one) - I'd be so scared of bumping it on track with all that expensive carbon. It must really fly, what power to weight are you pushing?

900 kilo (sub 900 kilo car hopefully) with just on 550 bhp and 450 pounds feet torque.

The car is there to be raced and hammered around tracks,and by god thats whats Im gonna do with it.I didnt have this car built just to sit and look pretty.Its gonna be used,big time.

wow!

very nice!

Awesome, thats serious power. 4wd or Rwd?

unless it has been converted, surely an ex 147 Cup car would have to be FWD?

Paddy - How much did u pay/where did u get your carbon bits made up?

they look amazing!

I never really liked the 147, but have been converted!

Maybe,maybe not.You will just have to wait and see.

Its gonna be very very special and unique.

It could still be FWD,but then again it could also be RWD or even 4WD.

GP bodywork designers/makers in the UK.It took over 3 months to have them made up.I sent them 2 new metal wings as test wings to make the moulds.I was going mad waiting 3 months,byt it was very well worth the wait.

Cost of the carbon wings and moulds was 2150 pounds sterling.But I own the moulds now.
