well here is what i am working on right now. i'm getting HID kits together for the factory pop-ups. i should have all the parts needed to make some sets by the end of this month. i'm also working on two strut bars, one that bolts back at the firewall and just a regular one. i will announce pricing only after i am setup via the administration to properly sell on this forum.

i would need a targa band to mold something off of. i don't think i can get one from mazda any more either

here is a dumb question - would anyone be interested in turbo manifolds for the 12a?

Seeing as how a lot of people have 12As, I'm sure they'd jump at the chance for the turbo manifolds.

Anything in front or rear of the axles acts as a counter weight against what the cars doing. And rotates the car further than you are actually steering. especially in a sliding senario. It's the same on all cars. Don't try to act like your going to bring anything intelligent to this conversation. I'm sure you won't which is why you didn't give me an example of why I'm wrong. If you were honestly asking then sorry to be a dick to you and I would be happy to help you tune your car for whatever you use it for. Also weight in the front and rear effects the braking and acceleration. The best possible car would be on that has the axles being the further most part of the car. So all the weight has less effect on the suspension. Under hard braking more weight in front of the axle will cause the effect of lifting the rear tires which leads to the rear brakes locking up easier. Using adjustable suspension helps but close to stock rx7s are a perfect example of this. That's why the rear tires lock up first. Not that it is bad in every situation. If you want to drift the car it's fine. too much weight behind teh rear axle makes it easier to oversteer the car.

I could go on for pages. Trust me your wrong if you think that weight in front of teh axle is doing you a favor.

12A turbo manifolds would be excellent. Something tubular that an HT-18(Turbo II turbo) could bolt to that would clear the intake and whatnot

wanklenoob

Vented Carbon fiber hood, cf interior parts,

81gen1

YES 12A trubo manifolds!!!!!! i would buy at least 2

and how about some turbo carb hats for the nikki, or just a CAI carb hat like with a 3" outlet.

wanklenoob

OOOOOH ok I want the reverse vented Varbon fiber hood, WILL JUMP ON HED lights that fit that standard round pop-up! and 12a turbo manifold! SOLD! and various CF interior, such as center console and such. you are a prince among men in this forum if you can deliver a quality Product!

Please keep me posted! I am very interested in the HIDs for my stock pop ups and a nice strut bar never hurt no one...so as soon as those two items are done let me know for sure! Looking forward to seeing your kits!

I'm definitely interested and excited for the HIDs. A strut bar would be really nice -- I would personally be concerned for my setup because I don't know how much clearance I really have. I have a Cosmo-13b. Anyways, keep us posted .

About the Nikki Carb hats....

You can get those at one of the online rotary stores... rotaryshack or Mazdatrix or something. Forget which one it was, but they're still available

i'm going to leave the hoods to FIBERMAZ right now. i don't want to step on his toes in any way. the HID kits will be a limited run thing depending on how easily I can source the parts to do this. strut bars will be designed, at least, to clear the Racing Beat air cleaner and Holley setup for the 12A. i think that should be enough to clear the 13B folks as well. turbo manifold i was thinking of having a tubular style made with a T3 or T2X flange on it, internally gated rather than externally gated. i would need a donor turbo from an FC if people really wanted to run that so I could mate flanges.

Geezuz, dude, where's this attitude coming from? Did I do anything to you? No, I did not. I misread your previous statement of the fenders and thought about the motor instead, which I did say that I did. And, then I asked you a simple question. And, what do you do? You up and bite my head off for no reason and insult me. In BOTH of your posts to me. First you say that I'm not too keen on rotational inertia and now this. Your entire posts are condescending and I did nothing to deserve that. What reason did you have to become an a-hole towards me? What issues do you have to blantanly attack someone else for no reason?

If you know the answer, explain the reason in a professional manner. Don't go out and start bullying people around because you know something they don't. That's just being an insecure individual. Everyone knows something that another person won't, but you don't see them attacking other members like you have, now do you?

Now your the typical "I'm the victim guy online" trying to make me look like I'm an *******. You did not explain that you thought I was talking about the engine unless you went back and edited your post when I wasn't looking. And you asked for an explanation and received one. I did put in my post that if it was a legitimate question then sorry for my attitude. Or something to that effect. Don't worry I still love you like a brother and no hard feelings, now enough of bothering this guys post with bs.




I think the fender flares are the best idea so far especially for guys with non-coilover suspensions as there isn't much room to clear tire sidewall from the spring since it gets fatter as it goes up. Hence you loose clearance as the suspension travels. My sidewalls rub a bit and I only have 205s on. That kinda sucks.

Either I asked you politely what your damage was (and become the "victim guy" as you like to put it) or I just up and insult you back (which would make me be an *******). Which do you think would've been the more mature move? In all fairness, you were being an *******. And, after looking through the thread pages, I saw that my reply about me mistaking that you were talking about fenders, not the engine, didn't make it through. So, that's where my mistake was made, I didn't pay close enough attention to what posts of mine DID make it through.


And, agreed, not to clutter up the board. I'd like to see some interior pieces done up. Maybe a different styled steering column cover to replace the fragile plastic ones.

AsianImage

Understood on the hoods...but the HIDs and Strut Bars I am waiting patiently on!

BlackWorksInc

I wopuld definetly be interested if someone is going to try those dual lamp HID.

How about a steering column cover with some gauge pods molded into them? I'd love to have something like that.

mikewoodkozar

I am down for:
12A turbo manifold
flush head light kit
strut bars
rear diffuser
front air dam like the kamei one but in CF
CF sunroof panel
CF interior pieces, like the center stereo surround, gauge bezel
A new gauge face kit with updated color choices
Gauge pod integration into the steering column cover
CF radiator top cover to replace the rusty ones i always see

FIBREMAZ

Are the U.S spec radiator cowel panels the same as this one?

85 FB

Looks about right!

mikewoodkozar

HOLY CRAP Fibremaz, is that in CF?

If so can we get some better pics?

down for hid lights and any body parts for a sa.

FIBREMAZ

It's just my regular cowel panel chromed. I'll start looking around for one with minimal rust to mold from.
