I would like to see a radiator cover made of some nice metal that can be painted.

Werent the sled driver's direct bolt on, and 4 piece? i think there is drilling required on universal sets. i think its cooler if it's custom made.

Finally, I'd like to see a pre-made oil filter relocation kit for the FC (as well as GSLSE and FD) including lines and hardware, a bolt on affair. Move the oil filter down so it is accessible from under the car, just like the oil drainplug. I hate to build a clean engine then get the ****** all dirty with oil running everywhere from mazda's stupid oil filter location. Plus, this could be integrated with a setup like the racing beat, mazdatrix, and fc3s.org oil filter pedestal adaptors which allow you to run aftermarket sending units. Something in the $50-150 range would be acceptable.

I'll probably think of more...
That's why u drain the oil first, then take out the filter..

I can build you one, but it's going to cost you $10,000.

These pedals were made by Sled Driver, but he had to stop production, as work wouldn't let him continue using their machine. See if it's possible to get the exact specs from him and duplicate them. I'd pay what he was asking.
Those are nice!. Would buy if I could find them.

Neat, but nobody makes a hardtop for the Rx7. If you're going to replace those windows with lexan and rivet or glue in NACA ducts, I'd assume there would have to be a good reason to do so, vs. just putting the top down. And don't even say that it's good for when it's raining, because those NACA ducts will channel every bit of rain sliding off the windshield right into your face. So unless you can get a hardtop and track your car regularly, I would definitely not do that to a street-driven vehicle.

And I'm pretty sure this thread expired before Justin Bieber was born.

I thought he sprouted from the forehead of a Kardashian.
Where's Joe Arpaio when you need him?
