thats a great idea an all, but for those that want to be able to see the idiot cluster it wont work out... so how about one for the idiot light cluster and another one somewhere else (above the radio ) that will also hold 3 hehe

Any guage cluster that would fit an S5 would be welcome, and I"d be willing to spend up to $50 on it.

I'll just add a gauge holder that replaces the two center air vents to the list thats already been said.

I would like to see the following things;
1) A triple gauge cluster that replaces the whole apillar cover.
2) A non factory replacement for the Rear hatch cover ( I am going to work on this when i get the time)
3) A front difuser plate (under the car venting high pressure air up)
4) a Nice Vented Hood that isn't Goddy or ricey, just functional
5) Rebuilt/Recovered Leather TII seats.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: stereo surrounds that don't brake. Made of urathane or something similar. I'd be happy to purchase 5 or more just for myself.

Nobody has done this yet???

(Regarding a-pillar gauge pod)
Is this under the stock mouse belts?  Or is this with the mouse belts disabled?


-Ted [/B]
I'd be willing to pay more for the neck for a s5, $50-75 was just a price i'd like to see, but I'm not the one making it and I'd gladly buy what's available.

As far as I know/have found, nobody makes a kit that includes everything needed to setup an electronic aux port activation, there have been many howto's with lists of parts and so forth, but never a compiled kit to be purchased in one location.

With the automatic seat belts in place I'd like to see a gauge pod that could fit properly for us s5 folk, i've attempted to modify mine with a heatgun with not so pretty success. Or any other convient, yet not obnoxiously ugly mounting locations for gauges would impress me.

One thing I definatly am not happy with is how old the interior looks, if there was only some way to make it look newer, perhaps brushed aluminum surrounds? I'm not real sure, but if a product could come out that would make the interior look more modern, I'd be willing to pay an small fortune for it. Wether it be a digital gauge cluster replacement, or an entire new gauge surround with modified buttons/dials for lights/so forth.

hmm. 1. a digital one guage does multiple functions thing. Press different buttons on the side and the numbers read out on the screen, would be great for temps, average MPG, maybe put a timer function into it. Oh, and having guages that are redlining pop to the front of the screen and make it flash would be good. Like the temp guages. or maybe A/F readings where you could set it to warn on lean or too rich or what not... I understand this would take a lot of work.. but stingy FC drivers worldwide would buy something like this. I know BMW's had something a lot like this, probably still do. (as much as 400-600...800? jesus I don't know, but a whole whole lot)
2. Battery Relocation Kit. (however much it costs to get the pieces and put a fair markup for you in it)
3. Pop-up light replacement kit (150)
4. Stereo Surrounds that don't break.
5. Classy new taillights. (working on some myself) (200-300)
6. CAI that doesnt' require cutting... possible? (a whole lot)
7. Sideview mirrors that keep a stock design (maybe something a little cooler if you feel the need) but have a mount so they can pivot inwards if they get hit like modern cars. (100)
8. a guage cluster that mounts using a bracket and screws that can be moved or arranged then screwed out to brace the cluster in tight places. If you don't understand what I mean, PM me and I'll explain it. but it would solve the idiot light AND above stereo slot cluster requests at the same time. probably logicon as well.

If you want more I could think of some.

REAL carbon fiber interior pieces- Gauge bezel $60, stereo bezel $100, shifter bezel $50, steering column shroud $30 , ect.

a short shifter that dosent cost as much as a jdm replacement transmission, yeah, that woul be coo...
.$50

Now for the biggie, spring perches and adjustable collars (no springs) for all four corners to fit eibach 2.5" coils. they would have to be cheaper than ground control, so id say 150 for the set, maybe. Something like on this page, only way way cheaper. http://www.rotorsportsracing.com/per...uspensions.htm

Id even draw you some blueprints if you could machine them.

And one more thing, racing seat brackets that actually fit the floorboard of the FC. Oh man, that would be priceless.

how about a set of really bitchin race pedals that bolt on (drillin required). if it could include a dead pedal that's a little wider than the stock one, that would also be sweet. $50?

Definaly some form of a new center console that goes all the way back and includes a cup holder and perhaps a larger 'cubby'

The current console is one of the main things in the car that really help it maintain that 80's look.

How about a NA/Turbo conversion kit, you know just pipes, flanges and other hardware used to do a N/A-Turbo conversion.

There are alot of people wanting to do it but I think that most wont because of fabrication issues.

I will expect it to be around 399,95$

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.
my thoughts exactly.. i WILL buy one of those if it was on the market in ~july. and i also don't care where it is... in front of the idiot lights the a-pillar or the din.. just be visible and it's all good.
~40-50

i also like the 3" cat replacment with matching flanges(i.e.: flanges big enough to fit with the other exh. flanges)
~100

i also like the na>turbo kit...

i think corksport sells some feed bar that goes behind the seats and connects the sides together, kinda like a strut tower bar but not for struts, its supposed to increase rigidity but it goes for like 300 bucks and doesnt seem to be much more than bending a piece of metal and into the right length. im no expert on matters like these, but it makes sense that where this thing is supposed to be located is a weak spot in the body.

I like the idea of a new under belly pan made out of sheet metal or something. Maybe put some louvers on to pull some heat out of the engine bay.

single DIN guage cluster that has a little stealth thing - maybe like a door that comes down over it and covers it - makes it look stock or something.

I hate it when people look into cars then see something "cool" and just crowd over them. STEP AWAY FROM MY F***ING CAR!
