LiqrSicc's Carbon Fiber Build

[LiqrSicc]

Thanks for the input guys. Anybody like bling?




De-anodized all the aluminum parts, including the RSC and polished them. I'm obsessed with shiny stuff

The upper arm was binding with bulkhead so I had to grind part of it:




And finally the front assembly done:





I have the TVPs screwed on. It looks like I may have laid the CA too thick on the TVPs and bulkhead plate. It doesnt fit at all and it looks like I'll have to file off some of the CA to get the plates to fit together.

mmm shiny, much nicer than the purple.

How thick are the carbon fibre TVPs? Must be around twice as thick as stock looking at the weight. I expected them to be lighter.

In my instructions for the kit it says to remove a bit of that part anyway (which is part of the shock tower).

Apparently the bolts in the c hub come loose a bit. You could fix via this method. Image courtesy Jahay

The CF TVP is about 4mm thick. It's pretty thick stuff. But for an extra 2" length, 15 grams isn't much.

You're right, it's the shock mount. I didn't have instructions to the RSC so it took me a little longer to figure it out.
