This will be where I'll document the progress slowly but steadily replacing parts on my Rossion Q1 in the never ending quest to add lightness. The car currently makes about 600hp at full boost, weighs about 2400lbs. I have/had zero experience starting this project so prepare for less than flawless parts early on... already made several dumpster parts. Successfully made some under-hood covers for the backs of the headlight pods.. trying to make replacement headlight pods now but its a pretty complex shape. I'll upload some more pics soon

Here is the car.

Oh yes sir I’d love to pick your brain. You replaced all fiberglass or literally every panel (floor panels, interior, etc)? How much weight did you drop? What process did you use and what materials (cored?, layers?). I plan on doing the same

Nice car :-)

I made moulds of all the panels (with some mods to them that i wanted) and then used resin infusion. Layup varied depending upon panel and shape, I added kevlar into the doors and door shuts as well as the wheel arches.

I've dropped over 120kgs, not just in the carbon panels but also in other areas such as clutch/flywheel.... that figure is slighter lower than it could have been as I added a lot of suff, electric windows, amps, sub etc etc.

I still have the alloy floor panels under the driver and passenger, but all the other panels are carbon now... the weight saving of doing so was offset by me adding a lot of Dynolight etc to deaden the sound.

I exclusively use Easycomposites products as it means I can ring there technical help line and get advice as I learned, this was invaluable to me as I didn't have anyone else to teach me or give advice.... there are threads on here on my project.... I had zero experience before doing my car, the rear clam was my first carbon part and it was a 12 part mould lol.

Wow half a car in a 12 piece mould with resin infusion and sandwich core as first project with only a hotline to get advice from. Most people call me a naturally gifted craftsmen, but it seems they might be wrong.

Wow. Now I feel like a dope for thinking the headlight buckets might be too challenging for my first part lol.

What issues (if any) did you come across? I have only attempted resin infusion on a small flat test piece.

Got my headlight assemblies done!
