the subframe spacers just make you able to stiffen up the chassis to subframe connection without changing the massive bushing, 240 guys do it all the time. as for the control arm it has 0 bind and 0 movement, hence being the best control arm you can get

Cool stuff going round here, sorry if I double some things.
First off, MORE STUFF FOR N/As! I'm going nuts everyone is making stuff for TIIs and we poor N/A drivers always seem to have to do it slightly differently.
1) an affordable true dual exhaust definately would be something I want, it don't need to be the best performing but I need a new exhaust anyways since my stock one is rusted beyond repair and I dont have the cash for a full RB set f2b.
2) full rats nest removal kit, so all the replacement lines, cap off thingies, instructions, etc.
3) Kit to replace my heavy power windows with something lighter manually operated windows. Also anything else that will simplyfy and lighten my doors
4) new wire looms without all the now obsolete stuff now that I'll have removed my power steering, A/C, airpump, etc
5) good CAI kit for an N/A
6) some good rails so you can put a bucket seat in your car using the stock mounting points without having to drill holes in your car and figure out where to place things.
7) Definately want a good supercharger kit that can be used with a stock and/or ported N/A motor.
I probably think of more when I have more time to dream

I want a tesla electric turbocharger.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I would like to see a form fitted subwoofer enclosure to replace one side of the rear storage bins.

ted,
you quoted me when i asked about a more stock looking cupholder or something...
what i meant was i dont want flashy bling polished aluminum or anything...i want a normal black or grey cupholder that looks like it came with the car....
i dont want it to stand out...i just want the cupholder function.... the idea of extending the arm rest further back to allow this is acutally a pretty good idea...

The stock stereo sucks, so we're talking serious wiring to install a subwoofer. It's easier to get a local stereo shop to so this work for you.

reworked cpu ($100) (ie NEW works better than rig)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's some guy working on the NA ECU, and I think Henrik (he doesn't come on here too much) is working on the turbo ECU's.

I would pay good $ for a whole new body wireing harnness (all wire ran on one side style) and CPU!

Yeah, the pipes already come pre-polished.

If you're just glancing at them, then it's fine; I spin my gauges to show 12 o'clock warning anyways, and peripheral vision will pick this up.
If I need to "read" the gauge, the glove box is a bit too far away for my tastes. I know I'm going blind, so you might have perfect/better vision than me.

The reason I'm siding more with metal materials is due to strength. Plastic materials need to be at least 3mm or thicker to be able to take a 48 oz. drink. Aluminum can be as thin as 1mm, and SS even thinner...
Either or can be easily painted or coated.

I think we got enough people on here with skills to do such a write-up?
I think these motors are some of the lightest out there - 3 lbs. per side?
I don't think the manual cranks are any lighter - I've heard they are heavier?

Striped wires cost a lot of money to sit on. The plug heads have minimum orders which you also have to sit on - anything dealing with colored wires or plug-in cabability is not something I want to tackle.
Already answered...
thanks for the comments anyways

I'm not concerned with the wiring, I could do that myself. Even a mount for a free air sub in the rear Tire area would be awesome. Shipping would be simple since it would have to be pretty flat.

How about a seat belt that doesn't squish my boob? Seriously, who designed these things!
other parts I'd like to see:
1) replacement steering column cover that doesn’t crack
2) custom stereo head unit install bracket – all the ones out there never fit right.
3) reproduction stock “aero-kit” found on the 88 GTU
