G Power Widebody kit ... Calling Rolf

[Jerez]

Guys , does anyone know if this is a widebody kit supplied by G power .
Rolf, you may be able to shed some light on this one

 

[Rolf]

Only certain parts of it are available through G-Power i.e. frontspoiler type GTS2 or bootspoiler GTS2, air ducts and such things

Tried to attach PDF pricelist for all GTS2 parts but no go
PM me your email address and I'll email you the GTS / RS / GTS2 pricelist

As an alternative I can supply the following kits:

1. BMW M3 E92 GT2

2. BMW M3 E92 "Superstars Challenge"

3. BMW M3 E92 GT3

Man the GT3 is sick:inlove:

I guess all these kits will be in excess of the GDP of Greece.
They do however look the biz

What are these made of? Looks like fiberglass. Although I guess it could be thermoform or carbon with a funky primer, but I doubt that many people would pay for CF.

 

[Rolf]

There are two versions available:

• GF which is glass fibre enforced resin
• CF which is carbon fibre enforced resin

Just as your wallet allows it (or not) :idea:

 

[Carbon]

Just out of interest sake, is the cf wet layup, vacuum infused or autoclave?

There is another method missing in your lineup: pressure cured in die / mould; and thats what it is for CF and GF as well :idea:

Thanks, it is one of the easiest methods of creating parts, but not much more effective than hand layup due to poor resin control and low fiber volume ratio, hence the omission. But you do get much better dimensional control and finish.

Sorry there might be some misunderstanding in the definition if mould:

These moulds are double sided moulds with a high fibre concentration in comparison to resin.
Excess of resin is forced out through pressure between the two mould parts and the component is compressed!

By far more effectice than just hand layered :idea:

I like the discussion around how it's made but I prefer this gt2 kit over vorsteiners. The rear wheel well on V looks a bit off depending on which angle youre looking at it from

 

[Twinz]

I like the GT2 kit for the track and GT3 for everyday use:thumbs:

 

[Carbon]

I could not find ant technical info about this process, so I tested it out with a small part in the composites lab.

It took me a couple of tries to get it to feel light, in a complex large mold I would not attempt this method for a low volume run as there is a learning curve and cavities would be hard to detect.This would work perfectly well for a cosmetic part(like a body kit) though.

Fun to learn new things every day
