when i say cover i mean jsut some sort of simple panel that would cover the area where the back seat went. i would like the idea of the car looking like it came stock with only 2 seats.

i'm not sure not feasable this is. it would take a pretty big panel and alot of material. but the design would be rather simple considering it would only have to really be bolted on at 4 corners.

just an idea

Origin makes this. Have you ever made a carbon fiber B-pillar for the S13? If so how much will that cost?

We have a B Pillar mold project nearly finished. Had an issue with one of the pillar molds. But soon.

just a rumor ive heard

origin cf fits great

looks not so hot

my cf inner door panels look good

but i did hear this from a GREAT source in regards to hoods

I have the Origin CF trunk lip spoiler on my Coupe. Fit was decent, but I'm planning to paint over the CF. It's ok, but I've seen better. Kognitions work has looked great in everything I've seen so far. I'll be sure to review it when I have a piece in hand, and post it here. I'm certain it'll be high quality.

It looks like Origin Japan doesn't make the rear CF seat delete for the S14's?

how hard was it to cut out the holes on those door panels for the handles n what not.

[justinhustle]

not hard, with dremel and file

kognitions stuff is good, have some of it too

[Slidin240Wayz]

CF rainguards--- I want!!!

I need to find that rear seat cover.

[hellion240sx]

any bigger pics or site in regards to the rear seat delete??? please!

[kognition]

This trunk was just made for our S14 track car. It uses 20 oz. triaxial carbon on both sides, and a top layer of 6 oz. twill carbon. The triaxial is so heavy gauge, that it leaves fabric waves in the top surface, so we add the twill layer to smooth and fill in the surface. The twill is also extremely strong even though it is mostly used for visual effect on parts. This trunk weighs 5 lb's. And as you can see, does not feature the rear brakelight mount area. I did that to allow cabin air into the turbulent air stream behind the car. But a separate panel will be made on production parts to attach the rear brakelights. This part has very high compression load qualities for large wings. And won't buckle.

here's a pic in a silvia

If someone wanted this item, can it be ordered? Do they ship internationally or would someone have to go through one of their reps here in the US to get it? I like the fiberglass and i bet you can paint it to match the car. Would be wicked for a show car/street car.

looks to be a lot of interest in the rear seat delete....i want one bad.

[kognition]

Wow, i just posted pics of a 5lb carbon race trunk, today on this thread and you guys are drooling over a rear carbon seat cover? Holy hell , i am on the wrong website.

[S14DB]

I could use a complete trunk replacement. Not the top half.

[jobestudios]

hey, is there any way to get a CF trunk and hood that hasnt been clearcoated and is a bad weave or whatever. I'm going to be painting the pieces anyways for my project but I want the weight and stregnth of the CF

[kognition]

The top half?

That trunk is fucking sick! I want one bad

[kognition]

Yes, the hoods originally come out as dry finish laminates. I am using one layer of fine weave 9oz. glass, and one layer of 6 oz. twill carbon per laminate. So there are two of these laminates on each side of the aluminum honeycomb core.
We have to use the glass because carbon touching aluminum causes galvanic corrosion (electrolosis) , so it acts as barrier and fuctions as strucural at the same time. It is really rare that we mess up a carbon weave pattern.... and that was when i ran on full caffeine, now i am half caf
I will finally be able to run the hood on track in a week from now, i need to find any weak points and address them before making this hood available for sale. I will of course post my results here after the Redline Time Attack .

[chuy]

I want a hood and trunk

[kove]

i want the piece that is below the tail lights on a s13 the steel retainer for the tail lights in carbon

[A Spec Products]

rear seat delete? waste imo

a lot of you guys have big wants, but i don't think if it was made, some of you wouldnt fork out the change worthy of the work

no offense just keeping it real

anyway got a double din carbon gauge panel from mike @ kognition the other week

super bad ass, super strong with the honeycomb

not flimsy like the regular cf panels that other people use

i'll eventually throw up pics, gotta redo the gauges first

get one for your car!

[Full-Lock]

do you guys have anymore of those S14 full interior CF kits?

[justinhustle]

ive had the arm rest and rear view mirror cover from mike for like a year now

zero fade

awesome quality and fit

[g6civcx]

Carbon fibre S13.4 wide fenders, please

[jobestudios]

fenders really dont weigh that much tho....

[KA-T_240]

where can you view kognitions site? or products ive checked there site out but it saw there closed tell after the holidays, so where can i find what they make?

Thanks

[A Spec Products]

nahhhhhh

s13.4 is hardly a popular enough swap to justify imo

much less make cf fenders for

[kognition]

Yes, we are shut down for the remainder of the year to get some seat time in, and test some new parts. And we have new dealers in the wings chomping at the bit, so we had to shut the site down in order to not get behind.
I just got home from Arizona tonite from a day of track testing our finallized splitter and airdam kit for the 350Z. A major downforce adder, we took it up to 130mph at Firebird several times today. If you guys know of or have seen our meter panels, this air splitter is made the same way. Just using a more vibration resistant adhesive for laminate bonding to the honeycomb.

Where? How? I thought this guy is just making carbon fiber parts for his own car.
