Oh, I won't even go into that.
Centrifugal SC's are like $2,000+, so it goes up from there.
Keeping the engine alive is a whole nother matter.

A less restrictive air flow meter.
I'd pay $100 for it.

All you need is the 12VDC to 120VAC converter - hey, don't they make 12VDC flourescent fixtures?

Actually, the correct RX-7Club answer would be:

God hates you. Go kill yourself.

Things I would like to be seen made.

I would like a nice ITB setup made that can be purchased with manifold, throttle bodies, velocity stacks, tps mounting, fuel rails ... for a good price and in the US

along with that, a nice turbo plentum to go over it for us turbo cars. (currently the only people I know making these products are in australia and they want alot of cash for the entire setup)

I would like to see some better roll cages made.

Fiberglass doors (yet fully functional doors) , fiberglass and lexan rear hatch, s5 stock front lip (no one sells these anywhere!!)

Basically anything other than that would have to be custom made for the current application. Mass producing some things would be worthless.

so thats my .2 cents!

yeah I am in between buying a new house with a big garage. That is if i can sell one of my condo's. But I have a few friends that are going to just basically work in my garage on products like this. I am still searching for a fiber glass/plastic guy who can copy body kits and **** like that. Also I own a vert so I was going to see if we could work on a fiberglass hardtop. I have a roll bar in the works now. And if I can ever get in with someone who make CF parts I would be unstopable.

Go look at the oil filter pedastel on a ~90 Nissan Maxima. They have a drip guard that channels the oil to fall in a specific free area, I'd love one of those!

Something to make my exhaust quieter than a lawn mower when idling and isn't restrictive.

I haven't seen a similar thread recently, so I figured I'll start one up.

If you want parts made for your FC, what would you want???

If you can, include what you're willing to pay for it?
Yes, I realize if you can get it free it would be nice but be serious!

Ok, I admit...it's market research for me.

Either of these would be awesome. A panel that goes right above an aftermarket single din cd player that holds 3 2 1/16" gauges in a row, or an entirely new piece that will hold the deck and 3 gauges above it. Either of those would be greatly appreciated by me since 1fastt2 isn't here anymore making them

As for what its made out of, aluminum works, but if something else is cheaper or easier thats good too, im not too picky. Once I get boosted (with either the camden supercharger or fc3s.org turbo kit) I'm going to want to run a total of 5 gauges, so after the double gauge mount on the a-pillar I dont have many options left.

An alternative intercooler kit to greddy for under 1000 would be no. 1 on my list and it doesn't have to be 234542342 rows either. Just one that is efficient for a t04 series turbo ( I can see this taking alot of R&D time)

I'd like to add my support for the gauge cluster that rotary resurrection described.

How about some t04 oil flanges with AN fittings already welded on instead of 1/2 NPT to AN.



Lower on my list is a replacement under engine pan, I know these are hard to find and mostly broken. Perhaps something that has some built in sheilding that would cover the motor mounts from oil being spilled all over them. Maybe put a flap on it for draining coolant without having to remove the whole peice.

TID.
Smoked plastic sunroof replacer
MAF kit that flows well.
3" bolt in hi flo cats
fitted blank panel for center DIN area
Something to fix this ******* oil leak for good!!!!
Rear STB: cutting OK
Cheap 15-25mm spacers
** Dual exhausts are for NAs and twin turbos or piston engines with two banks of cylinder heads, i dont know about you but my turbo only has one outlet.
