I bought some carbon fiber fuel pump covers from carbonall(thanks Dustin) and I'm about to install them. Do I need to unplug anything besides the obvious plug in the back? I'm just wondering if it's a straight up swap. Is there anything I should know before I embark in this "would-be" simple install?

Thanx.

 

Uhhh... just being a wee bit curious, why would you want a carbon fiber fuel pump cover?

 

Canadian Chris....couldn't help but buy something for the R, eh? You crack me up. Post pics when done. Still coming to Hawaii?

A little bit of bling I suppose. I'm getting some custom carpeting done in the rear which will expose the two cover. Carbonall really hooked me up on price.

Anyone have an answer to my question above?

The fuel pump.

 

There's nothing tricky to it.

Remove and replace.

Oh come on, you can find a better use for the money. Dont be a ricer like Opie.

Remove OEM fuel pump cover, replace with CF fuel pump cover. If you have the rear interior out, it should take 5 minutes. BTW, you should invest in a helms.

I never thought a former ITR owner and forever R-Speed member to turn into some cheesy ricer with a CRX. Way to prove me wrong, Opie!

Thank you. That's the answer I was looking for

&lt;--------all over the cf bling

 

Can you weigh both pieces when you have them out?

The fuel pump cover is made out of a thin piece of aluminum. I wonder if the carbon cover actually weighs more than stock.

Will do

 

yea post that info up when you get it done man. I was wondering if you thougth you were losiing any weight from this haha.

 

they are half the weight of the original but mostly for bling factor. They are made with epoxy resins and 3 layers of carbon fiber

 

Less than 5 minute job. You shouldnt run into any problems.

 

Thanx Dustin for answering the above question for Reid. I woulda been in the produce section using their scale

A little update: I'm going out to buy some carpeting this weekend to lay out in the rear section. The covers will go in then. And yes, I bought them for da bling for teh win

 

you can make carbon fiber light and very strong. Carbon fiber has gotten a bad rap as far as weakness and being heavy because the overseas manufacturing use 90% fiberglass and resins on their products which makes them weak as you can see from this pic, this is a porsche body. The whole things weighs only 66lbs and would be stronger then hell! It is all in how it is made and the materials that is used to make them. This body includes everything. Even the mirrors

 

It's just how much you want to spend on carbon!

exactly! you get what you pay for. Most import applications you don't need the higher quality/price tag

 

Wait just a damn minute. Is this going into the race car? Or rather the one getting the cage put in?

Yeah, yeah. Full interior will remain. The custom carpeting was an idea I got from an issue in Honda Tuning along with exposing the fuel pump covers. I won't be doing wheel to wheel racing or anything crazy. Just track day, HPDE type stuff. The cage was obtained for safety and chssis rigidity. This ain't no gutted out, no carpet having race car and even though it's got plates with daily driver status I dont drive it everywhere, every day. I'm in a two car family situation.

 

I need one to go with clear cornerz

 

dood, honda tunning is great....love it.

but i see so much "****" in that mag......"that you don't need" it ****'s me off.


for the bling!
