As teased by Sergio on social media and copied here, the top is in active plug design process. As originally stated, he isn't just making a mold from the plug straight off our car, he is making it much nicer then before, and taking into consideration all the things a road going car needs such as...

I spoke with him, and he wanted to apologize. Carbonetics has been putting a focus on customer orders (which is good imo) as to not put those people on a forever wait. For R&D projects, which was supposed to be the top, he had put focus on pre-preg carbon projects that he believes will put his...

Good eye!The dogbox previously in the car was already in pieces from WTAC, so this was a backup transmission. It was supposed to get us through the return to USA 2019 season at lower power levels.The rate at which the car grenaded transmissions, even before I acquired the vehicle, is why the...

Best I can share for an update is the the land for a new workshop is under contract but interest rates and adulting sucks. I need space for a chassis rig and lift to build the necessary roll cage, and didn't want to send the car off to another shop to do it. The build process is a huge part of...

My last conversation with him was in July.I just reached out to him today for you to get an update. I've expressed interest in picking up the top and taking it to another shop if his workload can't also support this top project moving forward.

Horsepower Industries (HPI) is run by Karlo who did the mechanical maintenance and track side support of the original AMB car. He's now a current sponsor since C1 took over the car build, doing the same tasks in recent years.Rich from TEM Machine has done the machine work for the original...

I received a photo from Sergio with the top in the back of a truck told it was being brought into the shop last week. He said he would be documenting the build on his new YouTube channel starting next month.We also did a bit of brain storming, asking questions like "how will the top attach to...

Yes, and still no feedback/installed photos. If you want to whip something together with them, I can get you the strakes shipped. If you or anyone else wants them, PM me.

Update as of 10/30/2021

C1 Hardtop update!@Carbonetics has begun production on the new top! Check out his facebook page for a photo of Sergio's personal...

I am just commenting in support and don't have much to add that hasn't been said already. I'll echo the Porsche ducts mod that I am sure you are well aware of. I have a set of ducts here but never installed them, as Andrew didn't run into over heating issues, nor did I in my year on track with...

Oh, btw we are AWD ready in the rear! (Sorry for posting this out of order, it should have been done in the above post).Aside from the fact I didn't clean anything up, this process all took place in a weekend before I had moved to the new place so I didn't document it as well as I would have...

Thanks! There are a plenty of reasons we chose to go through the swap, but if it also inspires some more swaps and saves more DSMs, keeping them on the road just that much longer, I am all for it. There is a little bit of info out there on youtube and forum posts from 15 years ago from guys that...

Hey all!I have been posting small teasers on social media (link in signature), but I think it is a good time to post a proper blog post update!I won't be able to start building a new workshop for a good while, so will have to make due with the space I got, which ain't exactly slumming it...

I am down to 6 sets of strakes, so folks are picking these up but no one has bumped this thread yet with install photos. If you got some DIY time in you, I'd really appreciate some photos for others asking me for installed photos :)

Got some exciting news on the #C1HardTopIn the next few weeks, we will be opening group buy deposits for the C1 Motorsports 2G Spyder hard top that will be built by Carbonetics. Details on the deposit amount, project completion date goal, and final total cost will also be coming soon. This is...

I've since moved from the GSX chassis to a new chassis in my bio. I will be doing a cage for the new chassis, but I ended up doing the option 5 photoed above in the gsx. Will end up doing it again for the next chassis as well. I'll update my thread when I get there, and try again to update here...

After years of being close but not quite neighbors, I think we might be in the same general area now. I just moved few weeks ago myself to same town as you I think. Soon as we're all vaccinated and sterilized, we should finally have that conversation we missed out on during that fleeting D and D...

http://evospecperformance.com/As the name implies, he started with Evo parts, but you can see he's got a few DSM specific parts as well. I am kinda intrigued by the idea of replacing a bunch of the 20 year old suspension bolts with titanium, but I'd probably need to provide him with the...

Hey all! Let me update you on some personal developments for the Eclipse project.After I began filming for the 3D scanning video a few months ago, I realized quickly what a grand giant project scope this was opening up to. Building a motor, or welding projects here and there was one thing, but...

Just so everyone is aware, they are scheduled to be picked up Friday from the shop by Fedex and will finally be on their way from there.

You have provided some great information @Canadian_CD9A !I actually fell a bit for the "do what everyone else is doing" train and while I think that is a safe bet for most folks in most DSM mod path related circumstances, the throttle body one I think is pretty wrong. The S90 seemed to be VERY...

This is the tricky bit and the main reason it got sent off to Sergio versus me just making it in the C1 garage. I could have made a mold out of the outer shell and called it done and it would have worked for my Spyder, but to mount on a stock bodied car with the OEM mounts, a skeleton needs to...

They make them for the Evo 4g only. There are ZERO new off the shelf options for sequential for a DSM 4g63, hence why all the headache with this swap. If there was an option, any option, I would have done it. I did recently find a used Evo 3 rally car drivetrain by Xtrac I believe it was, with...

I knew what you meant, and I appreciate it. There were no options for hard tops, and originally started this project for just me to get weight down as the original was super heavy. Later (after the tranny failure in November, see my build profile), we decided since C1 is changing chassis for new...

Nope, we are just actively publicly sharing this project on social media and forums and hoping he never see's that he's tagged in every post. In fact, we actually just bought it to copy everything for profit.JIG'S UP BOYS!

Well like I was telling your brother, don't beat yourself up over the stock cars being faster. If you spent the same 50-60k that they did buying their new car, on mods for yours, I bet you could come up with at least 2 seconds too.Happy to see you making more progress Eric, and great photos Brian!

I dropped prices on a few more items this week, really looking to clear out the garage of these parts. If you are eyeing something let me know! I have more photos and info if you PM me, thanks! There is a 25 photo upload limit, if you want to see photos, PM me!Ultimate Battery Relocation...

I am selling a Holinger Sequential Gearbox. Not just a sequentially shifted (Ikeya) dog box, a genuine sequentially geared transmission. The absolute fastest and without a doubt best you can have.Holinger stopped making sequentials for the Evo 1-3 platform in the 90s, and despite my best...

I think with a fresh coat of paint and rearranging some of the mounts for accessories flipped to the other side, the front of the new chassis will be able to utilize the old Spyder front. Where this mounts to the frame, even with the difference in the frame rails between the two cars, it's...

My build is an Evo swapped DSM with a billet engine and paddle shifted sequential transmission:https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/c1-motorsports-time-attack-eclipse.521432/

Good question!Speed Density and Volumetric Efficiency tuning is the way to go. It's the least restrictive in the intake, and it's tune-able in multiple dimensions.As far as sensors are concerned, it's quite a bit, and includes what we already had in the car, and more now! I have still yet...

This has been a good week for deliveries to the C1 Garage.Next to arrive was from friends at Hypertune. We have been working with them for a few months now on a special order for the intake manifold and other goodies to start to wrap up our intake needs for the build.This intake manifold...

I have mentioned paddle shifting sequential a few times and talked specifics on where we were getting the transmission, but haven't talked much about what would be actuating the gearbox. Let me introduce you guys to the MME Motorsport paddle shift kit.This kit is available in different...

The 6 speed sequential transmission from X Shift has arrived!The next steps for assembly involves mounting a stock Evolution clutch housing and center differential. Once that is complete we can start installing the new power train into our DSM!

It's here it's here it's here!!The whole reason for the chassis swap was for this transmission, so having it here is a big step in the completion of this swap.We have acquired a 6 speed sequential transmission from our sponsor X Shift Gearboxes. We have decided to go with a close ratio 6...

In preparation for the sequential's arrival, I finally spent some time cleaning up the engine bay. While it was funny showing billet parts in an engine bay worthy of a "cash-for-clunkers" 90s tv commercial, it is time to get ready to install some engine and transmission parts.We're a long...
