NRR Composites Projects

[Umai Kakudo]

Post up pictures of composite projects you've done.

My bro made this for my VQ swap out of pre-preg.

Engine wiring harness Grommet adaptor to use VQ boot on S14 firewall hole (it was smaller than Z33)

(Notch was put in carbon ring to match the oem ABS piece for proper grommet seating)

He also made a custom pre-preg clip and epoxied cloth composite grip for his .45

That grip is simply layers of regular cloth epoxied together and shaped. Could be useful for inexpensive method for interior pieces, consoles, and panels.

No pics of your own project no post!

That's a big potato gun to carry ;)

lol @ cody.

Nice work Umai/Umai's brother. I've been researching this for years but my broke ass is gonna wait till I land a real job to start effing around with CF. Also have thoughts about using graphene in the epoxy at a 1% w/v mixture as research shows that strengthens CF something like 10 or 100 fold IIRC.

Been working with CF and getting ready to make some body parts.

Simple slightly textured mouse pad.

A few panels with various textures and levels of gloss. Just because. :)

Working with making reliefs and forming around contours. Yes, that is a carbon fiber wrapped lightbulb. And it still worked once the Cf hardened on it.
