Carbon Fibre - Group buy [Archive]

Lankstarr

16-10-2008, 06:32 AM

My search for a cf engine cover has led me to a guy called Bert who is based in Thailand.

He has had several dealings on Prime with plenty of satisfied customers. The quality of the items has been vouched for by several Prime members so I am looking to bring some items to the UK.

I'm happy to organise a group buy to get stuff shipped here for a good price, no doubt customs will kill us but that's life. If you're interested then please indicate next to the items below; when the time is right I'll agree a price with Bert and ask him to commence construction of parts not in stock!

I'll alert Bert (RED-N) to this thread so he'll hopefully help out with questions I cannot answer.

He's sent me lots of pics which I'll upload in time, here're a couple to wet the appetite:

Here's an email from Bert with prices:

Hi Luke,
This is what i have:
CF sill plates is US$145.-
Flat Black E.cover US$195.-

Answer:

Thanks,
Bert

Luke, Bert,

Is a c/f version of the air intake duct which sits across the car at the rear of the engine hatch available please?

lotusolly

16-10-2008, 07:32 PM

Does the rear diffuser/valance fit uk cars with the different sized number plate?
Could also be interested in the rear 1/4 panel air intakes in CF if available?

Thanks

Olly

Lankstarr

Just for clarity, the rear diffuser pictured is the cf one. The $77 one is the same style and is just the bottom piece which is stuck onto the rear valance pictured. I'll post a picture of the actual piece you get tomorrow. I believe the rear diffuser piece will fit OEM and JDM as long as bottom part of the rear diffusers for both cars are the same. Someone may want to measure up or compare side by side to make sure.

All of the parts currently available are listed. Future parts may be possible; I too would be interested in teh rear air intake piece.

Cheers,

Luke

I'll give an engine cover a go.

Lankstarr

17-10-2008, 06:25 AM

Here's some more pics of the rear diffuser piece in cf - the black piece is the bottom part of the OEM bumper as far as I'm aware.

Luke

Please get your a***s into gear this weekend if you want anything; I expected more interest than this but will go ahead with what we have if you don't chip in!

We can always organise another buy at a later date but shipping costs will be substantiall reduced on items such as engine covers due to the way they're shipped.

Cheers,

Luke

I've been thinking about this for a while as I usually like to keep to oem spec. But its too tempting. I've gotta have that black engine cover.

TheQuietOne

17-10-2008, 08:58 AM

I'm just in for a flat black engine cover please mate! Can't justify the carbon bits tbh.

Kevin

17-10-2008, 09:02 AM

Just a black one for me too. CF is just for the bling boys. At this price I doubt the construction will be lighter in CF.

Flat black E cover and the 77$ rear diffusor thingy for me please Luke.

Lankstarr

20-10-2008, 12:25 PM

I've emailed Bert to get initial idea on prices and shipping for all these bits.

I'll post more deatils when I have them.

Luke

Lankstarr

21-10-2008, 06:11 AM

I've mailed Bert and the shipping will be done in 20kg bundles at $286 a bundle.

This equates to 4 engine covers and some little bits in each box. This means we have one full and one half full box.

I propose we order the first box and give people a chance to put orders in for 2 more covers so that we can fill the second box. If we don;t have any more orders by the time all of the pieces are made then I'll ship a half full box and spread the shipping costs over the whole order.

So.... who else wants a cover? Be quick as there's only 2 more spaces! Could do one more cover and some other bits depending on what people want.

recent message from Bert:

Hi Luke,
Below are the discounted price for your group buy(exclude S&H):
FB E.cover US$155 each
CF E.cover US$355 each
CF Sill Plates US$145 (sorry for this item, i couldn't go down any further, i suggest for free S&H for one who order this item) FB NA1 Rear diffuser US$70 each Marga Hill Front bumper US$200 each Marga Hill Side side US$200/pair

*Please note on the Marga Hill bumper and side skirts. It's not a perfect fit. Need to be trimm here and there, inorder to fit perfect.
By the way, I notice you did not post pics, of the radiator duct panel. Those can be insert in the E.cover box easily.

If you want a cover speak now. Limited to two more spaces only.

The radiator duct panel is here:

Not really sure what it replaces or is for!

So that leaves one more space for a flat balck engine cover? If so, please count me in. I wonder if it will arrive before the cats?

22-10-2008, 04:26 PM

Noel,

You're in mate. I've requested details of payment etc from Bert and will post a final list up tomorrow. I think we still have a space but will check.

Simon... the term is stupid, my vision is well thank you.

thx amo

Lankstarr

23-10-2008, 06:04 AM

No pics of the duct panel in cf... you'll have to use your imagination on the pic posted of the flat black one!

Here's the MH front bumper - not avail in cf though (please note comment from Bert above about fitting)

If you want a front bumper it wont fit with this order - I'm going to wrap up the first load, wait until receipt to check everyone is happy before ordering the second load. Then check demand for a third load.

Happy to pass details if you want to go direct, not sure what the bumper weights but each load is max 20kg.

Cheers,

Luke

£150 for the CF covers, so how much do you want from us for the FB covers?

Lankstarr

23-10-2008, 07:36 AM

2 bob and about 16 shillings.

I based that estimate on an exchange rate of 2:1... it's down at 1.63 so it'll be much closer to £200. CF covers will be about £330 but I'm the only one having one.

Depends on what the duty comes in at and stuff.

Happy to take £150 for the FB covers now and sort the difference when I know it.

NoelWatson

Should have said on Tuesday night, would have been easier :)

Lankstarr

23-10-2008, 05:07 PM

I'm confused.

FB E.cover US$155 each

£150 or $150?

I knew it wouldn't take much when I met you:laugh:

I've got a discounted price of $155 for the covers... look at me - that's a great deal.

By the time we've paid shipping and duties it'll be around £150 so that's what I'm asking for upfront. We'll settle the differences on hand over when I know the full score.

Cheers,

Luke

Lankstarr

23-10-2008, 05:11 PM

Not sure if there's room for anything else...

I need to pay 50% deposit via Paypal.

I estimate the CF covers to come all in at around £150. Estimate guys so no guarantees. I have

Noel
Matt
Kevin
Simon
Kare
Monaco92

For FB covers

Kare for a diffuser $77

The rest of the stuff is mine... all mine!

Send me some £$ and we'll sort out the balances when it lands. Paypal, cheque cash I don't care as long as I'm not out of pocket.

PM me for details.

Luke

Ooops - I forgot about Sudesh's cover.

Definitely no more room in this group buy - sorry guys snooze you lose.

I just hope we can get all of the stuff over in two lots. Any exchange rate fluctuations will be averaged between the two lots so everyone pays the same price. Shipping costs will be split by size and weight but there are only a few things other than covers so it should be straightforward.

Thanks for your participation... I'll post with progress when I have it.

You're just desperate to see the shrine!

To get a proper record of the articles I may have to cut pages out:eek: They'll be immortalised in digital format but you'll have to get your glue set out. I'll post up to see who is willing to donate mags, see what I can get on ebay and resort to "folded" scanning and passing mags back if I don;t get very far.

If you'r epassing through Basingstoke then you can give me a shout, otherwise I'll pm you my bank details.

Luke,

As you know, there are several members that already have CF parts. It would be useful if Bert could send you some small samples of the different finishes he offers and any variation in weave style.

For interior parts, can you ask if he is able to offer a satin/matt finish rather than the usual high gloss. IMO the gloss will be highly reflective and also dstracting across the windscreen.

Thanx, Paul

23-10-2008, 09:27 PM

What I would like is a real nice Hi-Q centre console with a single din cutout. Door switch inserts would also be nice as well as instrument bezel surround.

I agree with Paul regarding the satin finish.

Cheers,

AR

Lankstarr

24-10-2008, 07:31 AM

Kevin - there's always one:rolleyes: I think it comes to about 300,000,000,007 swiss francs.

Paul - Will do but all of the parts he currently does are listed.

Ary - This has been mentioned on Prime also ... we'd all love that Hi Q centre console so I'm sure it's on Bert's list!

Luke - that's me!

Lankstarr

31-10-2008, 07:46 AM

The first load is ready to be shipped.

It will be going to Birmingham to the NSXCB delivery suite...

Pick up will be prioritised by who's paid and who can get there first! The next load shouldn't take too long but we'll get the first lot into the country first.

Cheers,

Luke

The package has landed and all duties and shipping has been paid for.

Total cost of each cover worked out at £165.

Those that have paid can arrange collection with Matt; send me the balance or give it to Matt.

I'll organise the second lot once i have all of the money up front.

Luke

Lankstarr

07-11-2008, 12:22 PM

Second lot has been ordered.

I haven;t seen the covers yet but from what I agther from Matt they look excellent and are visually near identical to the £1200 Type R covers.

They weigh half of what the OEM covers do but I'll leave it to Matt to tell you about that as I'm sure he'll enjoy it!

23-11-2008, 08:40 AM

Without Paul it wouldn't have been possible for me to get a cover in the first place so many thanks again Paul. The bay really does look great ... I just need to get the new coolant tank sorted and I've just ordered one from Dali.

The CF really is great quality and looks fantastic through the rear glass window.

I've got some sill plates as well but I need to work out how to get the original retainer clips off before I install this... any ideas anyone?

Matt warned me about putting the cover down but I think you'll only do it once but when you let it down do it carefully or it will drop with a big slam!

Luke

NSXGB

23-11-2008, 08:49 AM

Thanks Luke, much appreciated.
I'll be interested when there is another GB going through...

TheQuietOne

23-11-2008, 06:48 PM

Hi,

I know this is belated - but finally took some pictures on my crappy iPhone camera! This is without doubt the best value mod I have done and once I fit the Dali OEM NSX-R coolant bottle cover the bay should be looking good. All I need is a few spare hours with the Dremel now in the engine bay and it should be looking good :D.

The other fantastic thing about the cover is it has removed the only bit of resonance I got in the cabin from my Tubi, which was in any gear at 2K revs. What a flipping bonus :).

Cheers,

Matt.

Sudesh

23-11-2008, 08:28 PM

One question. . . Does it incorporate the oem prop or is a new one supplied?

Nope! Doesnt have a prop or a hole in the cover like the NSX-R one, but I can live with that! How often does the cover be propped up anyway? I do have pics of the same cover where someone done a DIY install of the engine prop though if you want to see it.

TheQuietOne

23-11-2008, 08:29 PM

Simon, no to both! TBH it is a problem I think can be solved easily and for the money you can't grumble! :)

Sudesh

23-11-2008, 08:50 PM

Here are pics of the same cover where someone installed the oem engine prop. Its not my cup of tea, but thought some may be interested in doing the same. You'll notice the screws pierced through the mesh on both the upper and under side of the mesh.

On the third pic you will notice the small cut out that's missing on the group buy covers.

This is the OEM setup for the NSX-R and Type-S.

Think the first 2 pics are of MarkC's car last pic is NSX-R

Good value and a lot quicker to arrived than some OEM ones we got from Prime.

Lankstarr

24-11-2008, 12:10 PM

Or you can wedge a coke bottle in when it's open and that will keep it propped up. Something else more tasteful could be stashed/fixed to the engine bay and then used if you could be bothered.

I've got a cf wrapped one so no hole drilling for me in case I crack it!

....I'll consider it a further weight saving then...:)

Yeah just what I'm doing!

I got a small metal rod, very similar to the fold up/down antenna on a controller for a radio controled car, only difference is; as it folds out it can be locked in place. Its quite neat when closed down and can be stored with the tool kit or in the glove box etc.

I think you need to leave it at home rather than in the car for the weight saving to work :)

Sorry for being thick....but I cant see any pictures of the stuff on the frist page.....

Like the idea of a rear diffuser, but would like to see it fitted to the car and make a call on whether it will fit with my GT Extreme exhaust?

Anybody got pics please.

Thanks

Assuming by FB engine cover it is a mesh cover but with plain black as opposed to CF surround I'm in....When will this go ahead?

1 x rear diffuser
3 x FB engine cover (PeteM, NSXGB & Hagasan)

All,

I have 1 x diffusor here. I'm due to drop it off with Luke. It was ordered by SS but is not required. Its boxed so I presume as new and undamaged.

Please liaise with either Luke or Kare if you want thispart rather than ordering another from Bert.

Regards, Paul

(This is not my part to sell and I simply advising of its possible availability)

I'm still missing one of these!

Matt - do you have this at your place still?

I can;t remember how many came over in the end.

In all fairness I think Sudesh ordered one but wasn;t able to get it because Bert could only ship 2. I'd say he should have first dibs on this.

Luke

Lankstarr

06-02-2009, 01:10 PM

Also - if you do have this Matt then can you bring it over as well as Noel's cover!?

Let me know what other parts you still have hanging around and I'll try to make sure they get to their rightful owners.

Luke

Any pics of the diffuser please?

Luke,

I've given yours to Paul to take over to you when you guys next meet as I think he will get to see you before I do.

Mine is now for sale at trade price...PM me if interested. ;)

1 x rear diffuser
3 x FB engine cover (PeteM, NSXGB & Hagasan)

Hagasan, see posts #44 & #47 for pics of the cf and fb versions.

This is likely to go ahead very soon, especially if I go for the bonnet.

I will mail Bert and see how much more we will need to buy on top of the above and the bonnet. I think there was a previous post saying the limint of about 5 covers and 2 diffusers per box.

Hagasan

06-02-2009, 05:13 PM

OK, confirmed as the FB version then please..

markdas

09-02-2009, 03:54 AM

Ahhh **** it, I would have liked a diffuser but I guess you have to buy one without seeing it, or be in the right group to get a picture???

10-02-2009, 12:38 PM

Hmm they look good......the first pic looks like a 2 piece affair.....is that the case? I guess we need to remove the existing black lower trim and replace it with this, is that correct?

Thanks again for the pics

Mark

Silver Surfer

10-02-2009, 12:56 PM

No,

Just slot it over the black trim between the exhaust......you need to work out how to stick it on to stop it falling off.....?No-more-nails?

SS

Lankstarr

10-02-2009, 01:21 PM

No more nails do a really strong double sided sticky tape - I'm planning on using it to fit my Wings West front spoiler when I get around to it.

Luke

markdas

10-02-2009, 03:38 PM

Ahh so in the first pic...the large black trim represents the car! then either the flat black or carbon fixes to that section......correct?

SS why are youselling yours, is it CF or flat?

Thanks

SS

markdas

11-02-2009, 02:20 AM

Aaaaaa ..... just trying to get some help from SS regarding fitting this with an after market exhaust.....is it going to clash with a GT Extreme or similar......as soon as he can advice I can make the call....sorry

NSXGB

11-02-2009, 09:47 PM

Would the person who wanted the diffuser please make themself known otherwise it will not be ordered.

I hope to make the order by the end of this week....

markdas

12-02-2009, 11:02 AM

I've sent a PM to SS offering to buy his....so I won't need an additional difuser ordered.
Thanks anyway

Just want to thank Simon for organising the last group buy. Picked up my cover a couple of days ago and very happy with the quality especially for the money spent.

Only problem I have now is when I was looking how to fit it, (very easy), I finally discoverd why my rear screen keeps misting up........ yep another split expansion bottle!

Thanks again Simon for all your efforts.

Regards Pete.

NSXGB

07-03-2009, 01:04 PM

Not a problem Pete, nice to meet you the other day.

Check out the 2003 NSX that's being broken at the moment for a new expansion bottle mate....

Just a quick thank you to Simon for going out of his way to get my engine cover sent off to me. Looks great and will fit it as soon as i finish my VAT return :no:.
Dave.

NSXGB

28-03-2009, 05:08 PM

Excellent.

If anyone else wants to arrange a GB, Bert is very easy to deal with. I've since had another order with him, there was a slight hiccup caused by the courier but Bert sorted it out very quickly, not bad considering he's the other side of the world.

28-03-2009, 07:00 PM

Yes she's really grown on me now! I have been thinking of selling her as i want a 360 for the summer but i think i'll wait until next year now. I blew a bit too much money last year and i'd like to get another business up and running alongside my current one and i don't want to borrow any money just in case it all goes pete tong!
Will get down to see you soon..........i've just had another Toyota in, not an NSX but a little SMX with a £30 odd k install.........seriously loud! It'd be great at Japfest :D I'll get a few pics up soon........

Hi Noel,

Your's has been in my factory for months now waiting to be collected. I assumed you had been informed when it arrived by Luke who you paid. Let me know what you want me to do with it - we are currently selling our factory so it would be good to get it out of the office too!

Cheers,

Matt.

I think both Luke and I had been distracted by baby arrivals!! I will think of a plan and get in touch - thank you for looking after it.
