There hasnt been a big enough demand for interior pieces to start making them at this time, but maybe in the future. Plus if we made that piece it would have to be aluminum and im not sure what your willing to spend.
Thanks for the idea though, We greatly appreciate the feedback.

mattrx7N/A- Not to be a dick or anything....


Look at my sig. Thats the name of my company. I started this a little while ago say a month or two. Trust me it is not easy at all. If you look for my threads on this you will find what people want. Its not going to be profitable if you want to charge a lot of money so don't try that since the RX-7 communitty is one thats always on a tight budget you won't sell many parts gouging people eyes out. If you want my advice look at the problem areas of the car and do your best to solve it. Don't say its cheaper or better. Just say it does the job and don't charge a million dollars for it like some people do. This is my strategy. While its not very profitable it should provide us with followup customers because they like our products and our prices. Its that simple.

Santiago, Thanks for the advise. Im not too worried about strategies right now, but ill take it into consideration. We have the best fabricators and a low overhead so keeping the cost down will be easy.

mattrx7N/A- That is great that you have much at your disposale. I wish I were to lucky. :-/


In an effort to help you out with ideas I would say N/a parts would be your best bet. For two reasons= A- There are a hell of a lot more N/a's than TII's and B- N/a's need more power adding parts. I would say a cheap replacement EFI system with some individual throttle bodies complete with something like a microtech EMS in a package so people don't have to mix and match things that aren't really meant to work together.

The N/a market is much larger and would yeild more customers.

Santiago

Good Luck!

a crazy short shifter, a cheap fmic, cheap ported wastegate, fuel rail, or throttle body kit would be good.

What I think would be cool is a brushed aluminum interior with some slick gauges for the dash that include all the gauges for streetracing.... thoughts?

??? streetracing gauges?
whats wrong with buying the gauges you want and mounting them where you want?

dash trim... I think it looks like crap, but there's not one made.

cheap ported wastegate
??? you don't buy a ported wastegate, you port the one on the stock turbo. its quite simple, and very cheap.

yeah!!

TII fuel rail might be nice... like a package with a bigger rail, and injectors, maybe some different size options ?
don't plan on making one for the N/A guys though. they'll never need it.

The kit will have a bigger rail and injector options will be available. It would only be for the TII.

Can some 1 post a good pic of the Feed lip.

yea if you could get your hands on some old cartech turbo kits and copy those you would make some cash, also there intercooler kits, just copy the **** out of there stuff and you should be good to go.

Personally i would like to see some beefier suspension stuff for some better tuning, 240sx's seem to have all kinds of suspension stuff, and fc's dont really have ****, i would like to see some Billet tie rods, camber links, swaybar connectors, stronger cromoly rear axles, bigger u joints for the driveshafts, Some cheaper camber plates, maybe another company that makes those x bars for bolting on to the body for less than 500 bucks, are you friggin kiding? Damn its just some square tubing. And maybe some new cheaper gear sets? maybe a cheaper 4.30 and maybe like 4.55 for some serious takeoff for autox? i would also be interested in a nice Fat *** injector fuel rail as mentioned above, threaded for an fittings. I really cant think of much else but thats the sorta **** i want right now.

-Chris

A FMIC kit that is affordable. $1000-2200 is not affordable. Say $600 for a complete kit, with a USED intercooler from another model of car is something I would buy.

RX-7 owners are thrifty buyers and most would have no problem putting a used intercooler in thier car if it helped performance.
