carbon stuff for 1*2 coming soon

[bic]

Seat now fully finished and with first customer

weighed in at 3.9kg with side mounts bolted on, little heavier than expected but this is a carbon/e glas mix so not the lightest laminating mix.

£599.99 each (less club discount) including side mounts, or £1099.99 for a pair

Pics so far :

thanks

seat looks mint

does it have to pass any safety regs or tests before it can be fitted?

 

[bic]

no it doesnt, even time attack doesnt require you to use FIA approved seats, only if you dont have proper harnesses would you need to use fia seats, fia approval is circa 10k, yikes, this seat is stronger than many a fia approved shells out there too, this doesnt twist for sh!t lol when sat in it

 

[VeinAST]

Gorgeous seat that

 

[Pettsi]

Nice seat, but fook me that looks uncomfortable!!

 

[172Ben]

i must be mad though as its pretty much a dead loss...

HOWEVER.... I've fixed and covered the better of the 2 ben sent me, goes to be finished tonight so you should have a pic soon ben, and be back with you by weekend..

my honest opinion is similar to above though, the originals are made of rubber and the carbon stiffens them up a lot, I'm hoping the single layer of carbon will allow just enough give after finishing to still let them be flexed enough to fit..

time will tell i suppose

Tony

Thanks mate. See how that one goes, then if it works we can try and find someone to send you the other side. Is there anyway of making a mould so you can replicate them without needing originals?

thanks

 

[bic]

its very comftable infact contrary to initial look, comfier than my old recaro pole and Spgs

 

[Sean B]

How did the thumbgrips turn out lads?
any good?
Really looking forward to seeing these.

 

[tonyt]

its been sent to ben, so when hes back he can give a verdict...

i fixed it (although it was f**ked) then covered it in a single layer of carbon, not a lot of resin so as to try and keep enough flexibility to allow ben to refit it.. havent worries about the finish as this is just a tester really...

his other one is in even worse shape, but I have access to some pretty good meterials so may be able to fix it, we'll see..

I have another plan (none carbon related) also if bens findings arent favourable...

Tony

 

[Sean B]

nice one

 

[ado]

What's the width of the seat?

 

[bic]

I will get measurements, we have small and large

 

[ditz]

im not really up for reading 17 pages, but i've seen the foglight surrounds they look fantastic.. but do you produce the same item except with a flange on the back for a cold air pipe to fit on to? something in a size a pipe could be easily sourced??

if so prices?

 

[Panda]

I'd just like to say a BIG thank you to Bic for all the time and effort put into makin the items, the quality really shows and im well happy with me cover, cant wait now for me spoiler.

oh ye Bic there is 1 thing, there was no yellow sticker.

 

[Coby.]

[Panda]

[Rob 88]

[Panda]

Heres a few pics with the cover on:

 

[mikey123]

[bic]

over the winter we will be developing some more products for the 172/182

Cover looks great Panda, will try and find the sticker, I did get 2 made and have mislaid them, will send them through with the spoiler.

Splitter people, getting the final 1 out this week, sorry for delay.

[fil_b]

[B16DOE]

[Adamhodg]

i want the rear bumper stripe

cant wait

I had one on my old hybrid.
They look awesome!
Definitely worth investing in!

 

[fil_b]

gotta wait for the production and group buy

 

[Adamhodg]

gotta wait for the production and group buy

I had a custom made one(made my middo on here).
Definitely suits the 172/182. Finishes off the rear nicely.

 

[Rudolph]

whens the next group buy?

pics??

 

[bic]

next group buy can be whenever peeps, be better to wait until we get these few little items developed and perfected though, to give a broader range

sounds like a plan

what new items do you think you have for the next 1??

 

[bic]

Cup headlight washer blanking plates, rear bumper insert, side bullets (in both OE trim and plain/blank), perhaps door rubbing strips /side skirts also.

 

[Middo]

deffo in for the boot strip as mentioned at trax, and carbon smooth bullets sounds like a winner

+1

 

[bic]

ram air type feed can be done, anyone have something in fibreglass already perhaps, we can adapt one of ours and then remould, would need more than 2 sales though

Middo - wing mirror covers posted today, sorry for delay

 

[bic]

Few pictures of the Civic bonnet we just completed (for those that saw it at Trax, it was in unlacquered trim then) now completely finished

Original bonnet - 11.3kg

Replacement - 4.7kg

All OE clips, holes and sound deadening retained

Price - Don't ask lol

 

[john lloyd]

side bullets, front and rear badges and rear bumper insert would be good.

 

[ChrisD172]

Awrite john, is that you on PGAC as well?

[Da]

Received mine too Mark and they look spot on! Just can't get my OE covers off yet!
