If you could have any FD part made....

As the title states, If you could have any part custom made(preferably not currently on the market) what would it be? Lets hear some ideas of parts we need or want that are currently not available

reverse-direction water pump, so the air pump could be eliminated without the need for an idler pulley to reduce belt slippage

A nice center consol with illuminated cup holders.

A dash with optional gauge cluster instead of a flyRx-7 speaker mount. (it's a nice piece, bug up close you can tell it's after market ... In a bad way)

Stainless seq. Manifold. (external wastegate option would be sweet)

^^^ I'm actually trying to do this on my fd.

Excessive engineering LIM for a 13B RE UIM.

^^^ currently contacting Rich about doing a one off piece for me.

MOTEC plug/play ecu, like the ones they have for the Evo's and STI's

Drop spindles.

There is a ton of cool little things that current cars have that our cars don't.

A more OEM looking sleek headlight kit that doesn't use double-sided sticky tape and uses oem style hids.

Something that looks like it goes on the car without disrupting the lines of the front end.

Headlight covers, passengers side interior door handle, drivers side window switches, and the lid on the drivers side door pocket ALL to be made out a more durable material. Because they ALL break eventually.

Hmm. You want practical or completely impractical? I'll go for both.
- Upgraded solenoids that fit in the stock rack
- Billet clutch fork
- Ultralightweight rotors (aluminum, titanium, etc)
- A kit for installing water injection in a stock or nearly-stock car
- Better interior parts
- Tilt steering column
- Elevated rear-view mirror mount

A reliable 13b motor. One where I do not have to be scarred to go WOT and I do not have to pray that it starts in the morning.
