This is dead. The vendor didn't see any commitment or serious interest in their products, so they bowed out.

22hz may be inaudible, but you can feel it which helps to reinforce the lowend response.

Whether it's one port or two, the equation would still be the same, as the port displacement will be identical. Instead of 1 port at 13 ¼" it would be a pair of ports at 6 5/8" or there abouts.

http://www.tristarion.com/forums/index.php...=13&t=14417 I couldn't start a poll here, so please read and vote over on Tristarion. We need 10 commited buyers for a hood and whichever hood style is the most popular would be the one to go into production.

Like I stated, this isn't me simply just trying to get a group purchase started with a certain think in mind. This is an appeal to a company for them to start building products for our car. I'm not doing any negotiating with the company, they are monitoring this thread and one on Tristarion to see if their is any interest in their services

Under spoiler? Like an air splitter? Before and after pic, it's the extension on the front airdam: http://bluegtzhome.com/pics/installs/craigs944s2.jpg http://bluegtzhome.com/pics/installs/po4.jpg Or are you talking about a rear air diffuser that mounts under the rear bumper? Something I'd like to see is a new style of wrap around wing. Similar to this, but still utilizing the side panels that our wing currently has, just remolded to the contours of the new wing. http://bluegtzhome.com/pics/installs/wing3_1.jpg Sorry about the Porsche pictures 8)

1 item I'd like to see would be an '83 style hood with a slightly more pronounced hood scoop. Anyone else with suggestions, want's? I should also note, we won't be dealing with me, we'd be dealing directly with the company. It's the company that I have monitoring these threads to see if there is interest in their products.

I agree, price will be a huge factor. But, Carbon Fiber isn't the only option available either, they do work with Carbon Kevlar(dunno if that's any cheaper or not ???) and Fiberglass too. And if enough interest is drummed up they did mention Group Purchase potential(the reason I posted in this forum). The biggest thing is to show enough interest in this thread and the thread I have on Tristarion, as they are monitoring the progress of these 2 threads, and also giving ideas of what you'd like to see. Another issue that will come up, if this all does get set into motion, we might need an L.A. member to make contact, and probably supply parts for the mold(s), or at least for measurements. I'm sure that Jacob will let us know what's needed to get this started, if we can show enough interest. A little information about the company, copied from my Porsche forum:

I know this isn't 'technically' a group purchase as of yet. The reason I posted here is due to a new member that might register that I have invited, and I know how you guys can be towards a 'newbie' offering a new product to the community, due to past experiences with some new users. With that said..... Let's show some interest in what kind of Carbon Fiber products we'd like to see available for our car. I've invited a member to Tristarion and SQC so that he can gauge interest in products, and hopefully give us a new service for the communities. Products I stated that we'd likely be interested in include : Hood, Fenders, Headerpanel, Spoilers and dash kits. Anything you guys can think of, post up, and we'll see what he says. This member, if he does choose to visit us, will be coming from the Porsche board that I frequent, and he's all about getting our input on what products we'd like to see.

My fault here, can you update my email addy for your list? jack@bluegtzhome.com I don't check that old email that was in my profile, too much spam Thanks Oscar!

Oscar, I would be in on this if it does happen. I drive mostly highway, and it does get a little annoying to be turning 3krpms at 70mph.

Depending on the extent of the rust damage, what you see may only be the tip of the iceberg I probably wouldn't go with brand new parts/skin, I'd try to find a rust free doner in which you can cut off more than you think you'll need. As when you get your body skinned, you may realize there is more than meets the eye to your damage. Check out my repair, I never expected to see so much metal eaten up. http://www.starquestclub.com/index.pl?boar...;num=1048725478

I don't know, if you can pull of the Dragon style, and it won't look out of place, it could be cool, especially if the vents will suck out the heat(once modified to be functional). I'd personally like to see a slightly more aggresive looking '83 style. Maybe a slightly larger intake scoop, and more pronounced hood bulge. Almost like a Cowl induction hood, with an inlet, and some exhaust vents.

I saw your reply to me in the other similar topic. Keep us posted, I'm in need of doing something. Also if you could find a good source for the molded foam that goes on the seat frame, that would be great. I'm sure most of us have a bad driver's seat side bolster, that'll need new foam before being recovered.

Keep us updated Gary.... Great work finding someone, now hopefully he'll be reasonable on pricing. Are you still using the registry on your site? I wouldn't mind seeing email updates on these.

Make some custom colors available, and I'm sure you can have some serious interest generated... I'd like some that are have the center sections of the seat in Blue Dyed leather, and the rest of the seat in the standard Black dyed leather. Maybe even cut down the expenses of S&H, and just sell the covers, with some hog-rings, and instructions.

Is the only thing changed the LCD read out? I'd like to see the whole membrane changed to blue. And maybe even the top layer colors changed, I'd be interested in a Silver/blue setup to where it matches my gauge faces... http://bluegtzhome.com/starquest/pics/interior/completed.jpg

All of my knobs face torwards the back.

Yeah, do some footwork for us, and get some good prices... I'm tired of wearing out tires on a yearly basis due to negative camber(I drive 100 miles a day). My rears are the worse...

Hollow sound? I haven't heard any of the 2.5's, but I find the sound of my 3" to be pleasing. I do run a cat and muffler, don't know if you were planning to or not. Don't know if you saw/heard the video of my car, you'd really need some good speakers to appreciate it. But it's here : http://bluegtzhome.com/starquest/videos/tsiquest.mpg Wait til after I stop spinning the tires, and hit second gear. That is running a Carsound Cat and Magnaflow 3" in/out straight through muffler, fully warmed up engine. I know some mufflers give kind of a tinny sound to them, Hooker Headers Maximum Flow is one of the mufflers that I've run before that's real 'raspy' sounding. Also some of the Dynamax mufflers I've heard are also pretty raspy sounding. After running this Magnaflow, I think I've found my new muffler of choice. P.S. Not a flame, nor was it taken the wrong way. I'm just trying to clarify the hollow sound, as I don't see any S/Q's around here, much less modified. ;D

So, are you going to basically duplicate Heron's system with your new system? 2.5" bend, then 3" all the way back? If so, I'd love to see the results. I know my exhaust system never seems to quiet down, it gets progressively throatier with RPM's and load.

Back pressure would essentially be how much 'resistance' the exhaust system puts on the exhaust stroke of the motor. In essence, the motor is having to 'push' the exhaust gases out the tail pipe, and the amount of resistance in the exhaust piping is the backpressure. We've got a fair share of back pressure between the exhaust ports on the head, and the exhaust wheel of the turbo, but what Shelby is interested in is the pressure being exerted after the turbo(from the turbo outlet to the tip of the exhaust).

Mine's a little different now, than it was at that time. I've gone to more of a cold air type induction using the same pipes I used before. I pulled out my charcoal cannister, and the air filter end actually pokes out of a hole that's down low in the front frame head. Here's a picture of it when I got the new couplers in. http://starquest.bluegtzhome.com/pics/intake/shelby2.jpg It's still in the original orientation in that pic. In this picture, you can see that I'm using a longer coupler to totally relocate the pipe. http://starquest.bluegtzhome.com/pics/intake/coldair1.jpg And this picture was taken from under the front of the car, showing the hole I was referring to. Normally the charcoal cannister is sitting in front of that hole. http://starquest.bluegtzhome.com/pics/intake/coldair2.jpg If you were to look into my right brake duct in the airdam, and slightly upward, you'd see the filter. So it's got a pretty straight shot of fresh air.

Jeez Neil, I don't even think the ink has dried on that check you wrote to Bill, and you've already got it in a performance shop for a larger turbo? ;D Guys, I think we have a serious StarQuester on our hands. P.S. You can just mail that old turbo to me 8)
