+1 on this.

I know of someone that is working on an electric power steering conversion, but I have not yet heard of anyone trying the same with ac.

Will be working on an improved sleek headlight cover one of these days.

I know of three guys including myself who would jump on the electric power steering setup.

A brand new chassis made of Carbon fiber-monocogue like the Koenigsegg CCX. Of course something like that would be worth as much as a small house

Reasonably priced A arm replacements that offer at least stock adjustability with replaceable joints. (ball, heim, pillow-*****, et.c whatever)

Gauge pods that makes it look stockish and would blend in with the dash, gauge cluster, or window trim.

Bring back the Knightsports headlight kit. I'd be 1st in line for a nice kit that retains the pop-ups and puts out a good light pattern.

Bell housing that would mate a Borg warner t56 transmission to a REW block

This would be a great piece (simple sand cast, 1 piece)

The t56 is a tough SOB
Rebuild kits are cheap & readily availiabe
Clutch would be converted to a push type (I'm pretty sure)
Oh yeah, it's a 6 speed...

A diff cradle, that would allow the use of a Quaife ATB diff. (simple tube frame fabrication) could double as a body brace as well. I think jimlab was working on something like this.

Billit drop spindles, those cast spindles mentioned aboved have failed in the past causing severe damage (Miata application)

If there is desire to have this kit produced I could get it the Rob Bailey solenoids copied just find some friends that also want it

Best thing we could dream of is everything that exists at 10% of the actual price.

A set of HID projector headlights that work in the stock popups that are an actual upgrade in lighting and are a reasonable price. The only upgrades I see are sleek light kits, worse lighting, too expensive, completely custom work, or not even available.

I feel like there is some long history of fail attempts that I dont know about. I feel like there is a market for these but there is nothing. Anything?

I'm running Catz HIDs in the stock pop ups and they're a huge upgrade over stock:
