Banzai was charging $175 for them... We're thinging in the neighborhood of $75-80 SHIPPED and it'll be mandrel bends... Also it can be made how you want it, as in we can allow space for the AFM... Like I said we just gotta know what your setup is...

that would be cool. Along with some type of intercooler piping kit. There are none made for our cars besides the greddy and by making a kit i dont think you would be stepping on their toes. unless it was like $10 for the whole kit and you had 1 million of them.

For a full intercooler kit custom designed specifically for your car (with intercooler) you're looking at $650 tops with us, shipping included... Not trying to be millionaires here...

Oh I forgot to mention we can also flange it for your own BOV...

I'd be interested in a TID for use with the AFM like the Banzai one, a triangulated front strut tower brace like the CP racing one, lower arm brace like the Cusco one, a rear strut tower brace that triangulates to the floor like the Cusco one, and a brace similar to the AutoExe ones pictured on Corksports website. If these pieces can be produced in the area of $100 each I'd eventually buy them all. Yes, I am a cheap bastard

Good luck 13B4ME

How about an aluminum radiator core support. Is that possible? Would it be worth it?

That's a good idea... A bracket to relocate the radiator closer to the engine, so it's easier to mount a big front mount...

I sec for under belly tray and rad mounts for an IC install.

That V-mount is a pretty simple design... We may have to give that a shot... The underbelly tray is looking to be a winner here (and I have the need for one myself!)...

Well the hard part about a v mount is getting the ducting right. If you can pull that off, along with a mounting kit, you would have an awesome kit. Then pair that with the radiator panel and undertray...

Well... I was thinking of a bolt-in system that centered around maintaining the factory mounting points and suspension geometry... I do agree the rear suspension could use a little improvement, but I'm not qualified to make decisions on how it should be... If any racers or gurus would care to advise me, then a double-wishbone rear suspension isn't completely out of the question!

metal cover for the first part of the underhood section where the overflow bottle is In the works

sheel/chrome badges in rx-7 and mazda. (with some style) Nope... Function over form...

infini badge imitations Again... No... We are not emblem makers...

mean *** ftp inserts with useless vents Probably not gonna happen...

pinapple sleeve imitations Sigh...

Some aluminum diffusers aren't too far-fetched... I can also have certain things powdercoated if requested...
