danwebster Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I like it, especially the gold....I have a feeling the back of mine might look similar soon....
jonnyfox Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 This bit is going to be hard work and expensive but hopefully rewarding!
chris_h Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Are you building a boot back in? How much weight does the rear cf clam save?
jonnyfox Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 No it'll have no boot. The saving stands at 17kg without reinforcements for mounts, areo catches and stuff so maybe 12-13kg when finished.
DeanB Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 A good saving that. And at the right end of the car.
Dr H Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 That is a very good saving. I have a lightweight fibreglass Exige front clam on mine which saved about 6kg over an original Exige one. So to save double that on what is a larger piece is great.
stockhome Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Looks like a lot of work Jonny loving the Carbon are you going to paint it?
MrSimba Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Wondering how they shim the clam to fit when it does not appear to touch the rear sub frame? sure its escaping me but when I refitted my rear clam that was where most of the adjustment was!
jonnyfox Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 No boot no shims Si, the wing pylons will take the weight. Taking Q's of Gav's car.... http://www.exiges.com/ubbz/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=166141&page=40 ....loads actually, he's been ace!
MrSimba Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 Ahhhh! that makes sense now! Going to be awesome this when done Jonny!
stockhome Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Like it Jonny Santa made it early to your house
Martin R Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Nice. I have never understood why they are all not made in this configuration. EBD and Eliseparts ones are like that. Why some manufacturers cross the primaries i dont know?
jonnyfox Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 So far so good on the run in.... Mapping next week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3_U82z_LLI&feature=youtu.be
