THE STORY

We keep getting asked for bigger volume 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder airboxes for high power normally aspirated engines fitted with throttlebodies so.....
Both Airboxes were CAD designed here in house



Male Patterns (blue below) cnc machined here on our 5 axis cnc machine, then hand finished before being tooled up by our lamination team from SHD LTC210 Tooling carbon with a 1-8-1 layup to approx 6mm thick. Steel alignment bushes laminated in to ensure a perfect mould joint and therefore finish to the parts.

Reverie Limited - May 2019





We welcome on board Torqued llc www.torqued.io in San Francisco, they will be mainly focusing and stocking Reverie Steering wheels, Canards, NACA ducts and gear shift knobs, but can also supply to order all Reverie products inc FIA seats, rear wings and air boxes.

Lotus Exige S2 225mm Chord Rear Wing Kit


This lightweight (0.8KG lighter than stock) and extremely rigid high-downforce Carbon Fibre rear wing was designed by aerodynamics writer and designer Simon McBeath to fit the Lotus Exige S2 (04 - 06). The adjustable mounting allows you to fine tune the AoA and generates approximately 63% more down force than stock wing (493N of down force vs. 300N stock, 100mph at 12 deg AoA).

Wing available on our website from £1,499.00

Repairs




Previously repaired by another firm not to the customers satisfaction, we took on the job of stripping off the black pigmented clear coat and then carefully sanding the recessed area to lay a new pre-preg layer of low temperature SHD LTC210 2x2 twill carbon into, carefully exactly matching the weave. Due to the backing structures on the door card we locally vacuum bagged, not complete envelope bagging and autoclave cured overnight 65’c 9 hours. We then sanded the whole repair and applied several layers of clear primer paint, air dryed, baked and then sanded and applied 4 layers of Acrylic scratch resistant clear coat, before baking and then flatting and polishing to a high standard.

Latest Products and Projects from Reverie | March 2019

We have recently launched several new products adding to our extensive line-up of high performance Autoclaved Carbon Fibre parts and accessories. All are available through our website. Our new wing kit for the Lamborghini Huracan features our popular 225mm chord Carbon Fibre wing with bespoke Alloy wing mounts that also allows fine tuning of the wing angle of attack. All necessary fixings are supplied with the kit. Specially designed slim-line Carbon end plates finish off the kit:

Part No.: R01SB0459

The Morgan Plus 4 can get a performance boost with our bespoke Carbon Fibre air box induction kit which is designed to increase the flow of cold, clean, induced air to the engine, improving performance and throttle response and reducing drive-by induction noise. This is achieved with our Carbon Fibre air box design and high performance ITG racing air filter. The kit works with Omex throttle bodies, but don't worry if your Morgan has a different set up as our Zolder 112RH air box can be modified to fit with an externally mount Carbon air filter canister also available on our website.


Part No.: R01SE0699

Whether you have a Caterham 7 R300, R400 or R500, we have developed an air box kit that will extract the most amount of performance from the 1.8L Rover K-Series engine which was fitted to production vehicles form 1997. Our design not only increases the through-put of air but also decreases drive-by noise by up to 6.3dB. The kit includes a Reverie Silverstone RH102 Carbon Fibre air box, air filter inlet adapter, air filter, all fixings and pre-drilled Alloy back plate. For custom air inlet routing, our range of compatible inlet snorkels and ducts can be fitted and we also offer nose cone blister side ducts for the R500 variant.

'Swan' Mounts - Current Trend in Racing


If you have a passion for motorsport you may have noticed in recent times that the rear wings on race cars look slightly different. The large wings are, on an increasing number of designs, mounted from the top of the wing (the pressure side) as opposed to the traditional way of mounting on the lower surface (the suction side). Why is this?

Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis or CFD as you’ve probably heard of it, has found that mounting a rear wing from the top surface can potentially produce more downforce as the lower surface is free from obstruction – and importantly flow separation as flow separation causes an undesirable reduction in downforce. There is a small penalty in excess drag and weight, however we have kept our design as thin and streamlined as possible to help overcome this.




We have designed a new CNC machined Alloy swan mount, primarily for use with our own wing kits, but also suitable for wings from other manufactures. Our swan mounts feature an array of holes allowing for precise AoA adjust in 20 increments. 

(image above shows full assembly)



Compared to other designs, our swan wing mounts go one step further and give you the option to adjust the height of the mount itself; cut lines are machined allowing you to accurately cut the mounts to size while still fitting perfectly into the swan mount bases;

(image above shows full assembly)

Check out our new swan neck mounts range




Wing mount kits suitable for our new swan mounts:


Soon we will be offering extra-long ‘Swan’ style wing mounts that are specially designed for the Lotus Elise/Exige however could be fitted to a variety of vehicles. They will feature a 300mm extension to the base allowing the mount (if desired) to travel through the boot/trunk lid to the floor. This allows for a much stronger solution. Watch this space…

Protect Your Audi RS3

For 2018, the Audi RS3 received a styling spruce up that included a redesigned front and rear bumper, larger air intake ducts, revised head and tail lights and a reworked tailgate spoiler. All this makes the latest incarnation RS 3 look even more fantastic and, according to Autocar, it’s lost none of its performance either, describing it as “manically fast”  thanks to its 394bhp five cylinder engine. If you’re in the market for a £40k + car, or you already have one, then you’re probably keen to look after it?

It probably hasn’t even crossed your mind about adding mud flaps to your shiny new Audi, with memories of horrible rubber ones fitted to your dad’s Volvo, but what about specially designed bespoke fitment Carbon Fibre ones?


Mud guards don’t just stop the grime splashing up the sides, but also stones, grit and other nasty debris. Due to the wide wheels, the RS3 is susceptible to stone chips along the flanks, which if left untreated, will eventually rust. Fitting mud flaps will help prevent all the debris found on roads from mounting an attack on your bodywork.


We have designed a Carbon Fibre mud guard kit for the RS3 which includes all necessary fixings. The guards themselves follow the contours of the body work, so not only are they a stylish enhancement, but a practical improvement too. Check out the guards on our website.
