We created a carbon fiber roof for our team race car to make our roll cage fabrication easier while also allowing us to save weight high up. Unlike our competitors we generally have a roof in stock, but even when we don't we can make one in 3 days. Why can we do this? Because when we take your order we can literally walk to our mold and start working on your roof.

We generally keep our standard design in stock ready to ship out. Our standard roof is composed of 4 layers of carbon fiber (no fiberglass fillers) with a divinycell core. We use plain weave because the tighter weave results in a stronger and stiffer part for this application. We only use structural epoxy resin which allows us to create a lighter weight part than our competitors with the same or better stiffness. We designed our roof to have greater stiffness than a BMW factory roof. Compared to the factory steel roof at 24lbs, our carbon fiber roof is 7lbs on average.

These roofs are hand laid in Irvine, California via resin infusion and ship straight to you from the same place they are laid up. They come trimmed and ready to mount. Mounting should be done by a professional body shop. It will require removing the front and rear glass from your car and reinstalling.

Features:

  • Full carbon composite construction by dry laid carbon and resin infusion

  • Two step curing process at elevated temperature allows for increased roof stiffness for its weight
  • OEM full replacement panel

  • Weighs 7 lbs or less, the lightest carbon fiber roof on the market

  • Typically ships in less than 4 business days from time of order

The Extreme Mini Adventure Money Can’t Buy

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

IT’S NOT every day as an apprentice you get to build a new concept car for your employer. However that’s exactly what a lucky few trainees did when BMW tasked them to make their design study a reality. Choosing the firm’s Mini Paceman as the donor car, the talented apprentices transformed the vehicle into a rugged two-door pick-up – a long way from the original motor’s sleek coupe origins.

Audi A1 Quattro models ‘on the way’

Wed, 12 Jan 2011

Audi has confirmed it is testing four-wheel drive Quattro versions of the A1 – indicating an imminent expansion of Audi’s supermini range. Although showcased as this one-off at a Quattro publicity event in Montreal, Canada, to celebrate 30 years of the all-corner drive system, Ingolstadt acknowledged at last autumn’s 2010 Paris motor show that Quattro versions of the A1 were in the pipeline. The production A1 Quattro will use the Haldex differential to split drive to both axles; it’s a similar technology to that found in A3 and TT Quattros, as opposed to the mechanical Torsen diff found in larger Quattro models.
