Hey there! My name is Jay Jarvie and you've found my home here on KZread.
I'm a prototype engineer with an artists touch. This channel is a place for you to “stop by and visit,” in a virtual sense, see whats going on in the studio and chat about all things creative in art, design, fabrication and technology. You never know what might come through the doors, but mostly we talk cars- In fact, until the project is complete, its mostly about the Jarvie Arete GT supercar! The Arete is a ground up all composites 200 mph vehicle that we are building to showcase our design, engineering and composites skills.
So, come on in, (or pull out your smart phone) sit down and lets talk building and creating!

hey i know this is an older vid and you may not see this but i was kinda lost on the fiber glass bit, i understand on applying it but i was wondering why did it turn red
I change the color on each layer so that it is easier to tell when sanding through. The red is an automotive paint to get that final hard, glossy surface.
@@BuilderCreator ah kk thanks so much, i was planning on building a project car when i get into automotive engeneering n as a side hobbie n your serise is by far the simplest way to actually go about making the body of a car
Jay, I hope that you have made enough money from your channel to pay for this project. It has been several years of labor excellent video series cannot wait to see the project on the road
Sadly, my costs WAY outpace my KZread earnings. I would likely need to get a few hundred thousand views per video to get my earnings to match my expenses. But, every view help! Thanks for following the channel.
OH WOW!!! This is awesome!!!
Will you be selling kits of the body and blue prints on the chassis
Great work / content mate 👍 👌 cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
This Lambo, would be an amazing follow-up ! Thanks
Getting stoked to see this roll! Gonna be a screamer with that engine.
really crap uninformative video
Wow credit to you I can totally understand your dedication . Just amazing!!
You are the Endgegner of every DIY guy out there 😅🤘
Endgegner- I had to look that one up. My ten word German vocabulary didn't include that. But, you are mistaken, the real "Endgegner" is my wife. ;)
@@BuilderCreator 😂❤️
It's not a proper supercar if it doesn't catch fire occasionally for no apparent reason.
I'll try to do something like this - though I don't have a lathe. I do, however, have an electric drill ....
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ doesn't matter from where but❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤for your project
Polyester or epoxy also what learning materials could you recommend to build something like this (books, school, or online resources )
I have been watching you for awhile....you mentioned being old....lol...that's experience my friend! All about PASSION! Keep living life the way you live for! Cheers
What a great informative video Also like the snipe towards the end of the vid
I like that you were building your own Vector back in the 80's.
I think the biggest weakness facing this build is going to be a lack of rigidity, given the bolt on front and rear subframes ... there will be stress fractures at the mounting points, allowing more and more flext. The tub itself, ithink you should have used some carbon fibre to give it better stiffness, but you're an engineer and I am not. Just 2c from a fberglass guy
Thank you for making this channel and content. Amazing.
The tire/rim size to car looks ridiculous, car looks like a 4x4. Hope it's corrected in the build.
Just heard, Chip Foose has hanged himself in his back Yard.
I'm really curious about how your going to make it street legal or how would you register it and insure it and all of that
Great video again! I have no doubt that the car will hold up! I never had a doubt, but it was fun to see your testing to prove it. Looking forward to seeing the project continue. Thanks for sharing your project with us all!
love how he said all this, but just as well at the start he went well f it, it needs steel pipe just to be safe and the trolls dont remember or care
Dont worry bout the talk alot do nothingers .... Ur doin it thats hard theyre talkin bout it thats easy they only talkin coz they cant do it.. so they hatin on that. ..really they hatin on themselves but projecting it on to others.. pay em no mind mate
Show
Wow feel like I’ve learned so much in such a short video, super inspiring work and can’t wait to dive into the rest of your videos to see the full build!
Thanks! If you jump in, there are two playlists for the two vehicles. The titles show the sequence. A1-94 Arete supercar, L1-22 Leviathan Overlander. Enjoy.
I’m I losing it or is this a FWD. car ?
All WHEEL DRIVE
You’re my awesome genius teacher ❤
Thank you! 😃
Don't worry about negative comments sir. They aren't building their own supecar...from scratch!
more impressed by the strap
Very cool project indeed, I bet that'll be a lot of fun to drive! For the transmission, you could have used a VAG gearbox. Some of their platforms are FWD, but the engine is longitudinally mounted on a transaxle gearbox like the Porsche, but it goes behind the engine, not in front of it. They are readily available, can be built to take 1000 hp and would simplify things immensely. You would lose the 4WD system, but would save quite a bit of weight in the process.
Amazing
Awesome.. *This tow job has me beaming*
This dude is awesome
I'm gonna go build a Chakra GTX from Rocket League
0:29 I'm sorry to say, that's one old... err, I mean, mature looking 16 year old.
Brilliant - Charging ahead - really impressive - I have been following along, and with an interesting project and masterclass skill level, I was expecting at least 1 million subscriptions by now.
Do you know that KZread shows me who in the comments is a subscriber? It's hard to reach even 100k when @keithyoung7 isn't a subscriber. ;) Thanks for following the build, however.
@@BuilderCreator But I am subscribed and have been from the beginning. KZread telling fibs.
@@keithyoung7 KZread has been known to skew the stew!
@@BuilderCreator Ah - some of my political views do not align with theirs - and the tolerance level is near zero - however, I am a fan and subscribed.
You've got this. Always naysayers in the bunch. The Mossler Consulier GTP was so successful it was banned by numerous racing organizations. It shares a similar composite monocoque like your design that most said wouldn't work. I look forward to you driving that baby!
My Ambition is to build the fastest car in the world
Is that a salt flats car, 1/4 mile car, production car?
Hey been while unsure what I missed

Your car is built in tension, how are you testing tension, if your samples have no anchor points? Deflection without anchoring is going to be much weaker, since the fibers will be bending much more, causing all kinds of damage to the bonding medium.
A chassis driving down the road isn’t anchored to the ground…
Great video. Can you help a guy out. I'm designing a composite wing. My thoughts are that the compression is on the upper surface as the load is from beneath or the under side. If my idea is correct, where would you place more layers of glass? On the top or on the bottom?
A wing should be thought of as a tube with the possibility of loads from any direction, Then you should design a spar to handle the dynamic loads. The spar should distribute 65% of the max load from up lift and 35% from down loads. Wrap your wing with 66% of the fibers going at 45 degrees from the root to prevent twisting. The spar should bond to the top and bottom skins.
Great job, congratulations, the design looks great. Keep the good work!
Badass. Straight brutal and great examples.
More great info! I stopped using polyester and gelcoat even for non-stressed parts and have been using epoxy /glass and carbon along with nomex honeycomb from Boeing surpluses and have made some seriously stiff composite doors for 2nd Gen Firebird that weigh only 10 lb 15 oz including inner door panels. These are BIG (60 inch long doors) and are arrow straight, will look factory when painted. All hand laid. Epoxy to fiber is only 12 - 15 % more than vacuum bagged as weighed.
Sounds right in there. Now if you could only get hold of some "transparent aluminum" to reduce the weight of the glass! ;)
Very good explanation. You’ll probably add a steel cage inside also? And I wonder about what a crash would do to the structure… do you have structures made to fail and absorb the impact as well? Thanks for all the videos, they’re awesome. Hope to see it finished soon!
The subframes have crash structures, and the rear subframe/engine is designed to break away in a serious crash. Here is a video talking about the interior steel roll bar -kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWdqrrRsps3VfZM.htmlsi=Bs6EHRak5x-luN5j
You are genius 🎉
What amount of force (twisting, bending, etc) are you having to protect against? Is the weight of the car once moving? Is the weight of the car times G-force? Much do the forces increase from ~10 mph versus 110 mph?
Extreme stiffness is needed for cars built to take corners at 3+Gs. As I'm after a top speed goal and good street performance, I can sacrifice some stiffness to comfort and cost.
