Just start thinking of things. You're going to find that if you build parts and try to sell them, that unless they are free and you pay for shipping, people are going to complain that they cost too much. It's happened many times before. I don't even try.

My office looks down on our fab shop. The machine shop is next door though. We use AutoCAD for 2D prints and are phasing out Inventor (and AutoCAD) for Pro-Engineer for all of our 3D work.

it would be really cool if each regeneration on rx7 club had it's own diy/ walk-through/ write-up section. it would make searching for one much easier, but i guess a lot of those just end up in the archive anyways.

I usually make a CAD plan and give it to my friend for things to make when he's on lunch break at work. He has access to some machine tools and what not. He's made some block off plates already for me. Also he's made shift ***** from aluminum stock on a lathe.

Any type of mounting bracket will always come in handy. Brackets for a radiator or intercooler.

Pop the hood, stare, and use your imagination!
