Like I said if it's not cast we can probably make it... FWIW though I think the PR oil pan is about as close to perfection as one can attain, and well worth the money!

Less than a $100 strut bar that isnt off ebay woooow. And thats triangulated.

A three piece rear brace would be nice, you could make a race pipe also. Just thowing those out there.

I recon a bracket that is easy to mft and fit to relocate the PS pump to where the AC used to be so you can run FMIC piping straight up the guts,

Also to go with this FMIC set up, a 2 1/2" piping kit that runs from the turbo to the front ( easiest way possible, as in most direct but a path that involves the least cutting so people with poor or little engineering skills can fit it) but dosnt have the bends to go into the FMIC so you can mount it as far foward or back (in front of the rad) as you want and the same for the way back to the throttle body, and it would come with the attachment to the TB
some sort of kit, like the Greddy kit so you dont have to relocate you battery,

you could sell just the required bends to fit and rubber/silicon joiners to cut down on shipping costs and people could source there own straight pipes.....

FMIC piping and fitting seems to me to be alot of peoples concerns including my own

Im lucky in that im in NZ and will shortly purchase a Frantic front bumper to save me butchering my own for when i do my FMIC install

doesn't have to be cast, using 3/16" sheet, you can box brake the sides and weld it onto a thick flange. If I could weld aluminum any better, I'd try it myself.

We'd like to stick with things that are hard to find... We're not trying to cut anyone's throat... Just to give people good deals on stuff that has to be made, because it's either impossible to get ot it doesn't exist...

Yea I think that's kinda what hIGGI was getting at... That's entirely possible if there's enough interest... We'll need some plans, or we'll need to make our own, so the latter will take a little more time naturally...

you should make an intercooler piping kit like they have for the even cheaper turbo miata crowd. They make a piping kit for a specific junkyard intercooler. like say the valvo 740 ic, or starior, or like the recent post about the npr intercooler.

Yea any ideas on cheap intercoolers are welcomed! We were thinking of doing a specific size for all of them to cut down on the variations... Or if someone provided their own intercooler, we could weld them a nice custom pipe kit... The only breaks would be where in needed to go around something behind the bumper...

Shoot me some pics of a few V-mount setups you like to 13b4me@mynetrocks.com and we'll go from there... Sounds like a good idea though...

I got one too, but I was thinking of something with a larger surface area to reduce heatsoak...

Underbelly pans are a very real possibility! We're trying to focus out energy in these types of directions... Stuff that is unique to the market...

Under car bracing is possible, but we'll need more interest... A tubular subframe will do wonders in itself...

Talking

A true cold air intake. With piping from the TB all the way to the filter, everything included if possible, so we can just "plug and play"!

Ok after we get enough ideas I'm going to run a poll to see which are the most popular... Maybe choose the top 2 or 3 to start the project with... Then it'll be off to the development stage!
