Quick ? Does any one own a ELEMENT and if they do, do they like it. Or do you have a friend how has one and do they like it. I want to buy the Honda Toaster and just want an opinion. thanx

Just want to know how guy's have liked working with this wonderfull product? What kind of ally are you working with? I'm biased... iwork with it every day at work and ILOVE IT:hurray: A friend of mine who works with steel hates it, he says when you up in steel it is easy to fix, weld, grind, move on, when you have cut too much off of a ally part it's a wee bit harder to fix.

I would be happy to answer any ally questions that you guy's may have.

Working in the areospace field and having carbon fiber exp. I can only offer these observations. 1.carbon fiber has become the "NEW" must have, go fast body part in alot of street tuning mags. ie: it's the answer to super light weight and strong. 1a. the C/F used in the aerospace and F1 industry IS NOT the same as you and i buy. (sorry but true) 1b. the cost of pre-preg C/F that must be stored in freezer at a controlled temp, and when taken out has a working time of about 3 hours then must be baged and sealed and then put into a autoclave for a pre determended time and temp cost big $'s. perfect moulds, clean rooms, state of the art autoclaves etc. 2. just like quality cotton, C/F has a thread count and weave. It's all about count and weave BABY 3. Having seen "so called C/F part's on street cars is i'm sorry "A JOKE" it is nothing but cheap pre-peg,that is paper thin' low count, loose weave, and then they put a thick coat of clear on the ext. the make it look cool, you would be better off using a good quality fiberglass or alloy fender, weight gain is a non issue. 4. since you have them on your car you are stuck whith then, here's what you do...... modifiy your fender mounts so you can lower the fender closer to the tire. they all move as one so the gap can be real close. that's for the fronts only, for the rears i would spray some rubberized rock sheild on the inner fender to stop the rocks/stones from hitting the bottom of the fender. sorry about the bitching on street C/F but it is what it is. you can buy a 4x8 sheet of alluminum let's say from the 1100 series for about $50 to $70 or you can buy a 4x8 sheet of 7075 T6 for about $400. THEY BOTH LOOK THE SAME, except one is as hard as a beer can and one is NOT......can you tell the difference? :cry: :nonod:

Well that's going to require some metal work :_deadhorse:

Gert, I only have this to say..... I LIVE IN THE WRONG PART OF THE WORD....WOW, your not going to get those views where i live:banghead: :cry: :cry:

I DON"T FLY'EM I JUST FIX'EM

Well it is nice that the guy's held back. that means we can come back next year with no bad rep! starting to get ny SR 27 together so it will have to be next year.:hurray:

I've seen the pics, read the stories, BUT did we do the the dragon proud? What kind of comments were there when 50 + sevens and clones showed up, they are used to bikes and Vettes and all. My real ? is what did the locals think?:bigears: :cheers: :ack:

Veryy cool:) control with engine exhaust, Ya baby!!!!!

Love the silver nose treatment.:iagree:

25 years, sh!t time flies:blueangel:

Why do all the odd looking fast things come from ENGLAND? Lotus 7, Mini, Mac F1 It must be something in the beer!:cheers:

The quotes are great! But what these guy's can't say to the media is "Gilles was one crazy son of a bitch and he would have killed himself sooner or later". Meaning he drove with TOTAL disreguard for personal safety, first place ... you won....................second place you failed (in his mind) I saw him race in Montreal in the rain in the Ferrari where he just kept pushing for the lead, was told by the crew to hold back take 2nd and don't scrap the car, we'll take to points!!!!! Guess what???????????????????? There must have been a comunication problem, him being french and the team being italian, he pushed on! AND WON THE RACE, after the race it was reveiled that #27 had lost 1st ,2nd, and 3rd. as well as haveing no brakes left. Haveing run the track,i have NO idea how he got a F1 car around this very small track with most of his gears gone, no brakes, AND IN THE RAIN BTW the answer to how Gilles got signed, and more importantly why he did what he did is easy ( today) not so easy why back when there was no litttle black box sending instant info to the pits Let's see back "in the day" there was no ECM, no traction control,, no launch control,no lift up-shift....etc... WHY BACK' WHEN THE GUY IN THE CAR DROVE THE CAR, NOT THE CAR DROVE THE GUY Sorry but that's my little bitching bit, and i think that's why F1 is going down, to much techno -no driver input:mad:
