I might be keen for about half a square metre of around 2.5-3mm thick thickness isnt an issue, will make it to suit Right now I'm keen for 1m square of 1mm thickness. And prob want some thicker stuff at a later yet soonish date. Whats it like for heat resistance ? not 100% exactly sure but think the resin is only good for about 120-150 Degrees C, but the carbon is upwards of 3000 Degrees C, u can get high temp resin systems but there prety pricey, but i will have a look into them aswel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katalyst 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 yeah well i think it should be ok, im in the process of making a new intake , and have used carbon for the AFM and pod adaptors, and was thinkin bout makin a cold air box outa carbon, but bit scared too!!! dont know if you heard bout the wrx(show car) that had carbon intakes, granted they were very close to the engine, but they caught on fire and his whole car was gone in half an hour!!!! seen plenty of ppl who used it and it seems to be fine, but with my kinda luck - not keen to test fate, and also dont wana garentee nething just incase, if u know wot i mean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zealot 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I'd be keen on some for an airbox for my car (admitedly not a bmw). Any idea how much it would be for half a metre or so? Maybe up to a metre... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
