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

I second this! Been trying to contact Rob Bailey a couple days ago about his solenoids since I will most likely go BNRs here in a little bit. Let me know if you do this and can also provide some good installation instructions.

A street capable oil pan minus the OEM ones sieve like properties. I know there's at least one aftermarket one, but it hangs below the subframe and shatters easily if you hit anything.

An affordable drysump, total bull **** how much Mazda charges for their front cover...

Screw oil pans, a drysump would be do much better.

I know this could be done, all that would need t be done is source a remote mechanicle or electric oil pump & OMP.

Actually just read the last couple pages of this thread.
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/custom-replacement-solenoid-system-404243/page9/

No need for anyone to mark up the price on you. I paid 280$ for hardware and 4 solenoids.

improved interior materials/passenger interior door handle
tilt/telescoping steering wheel
factory-looking cup holders, maybe something that pops out of by the glove box
stronger center armrest support
not a paint to work on underneath the hood in factory configuration

Racing beat make aluminum plates, but they are mostly for P-port application. not worth the effort if you are retaining side port.

I know they do but aftermarket are way too expensive. My thinking is more of what Mazda could have done. So yea i'm off thread topic a little. If available from the factory would be awesome because of the weight savings and less corrosion in the coolant system. Plus it would make my own 20b block even lighter.

I'd like a padded armrest for the driver door that replaces the map pocket entirely. One that matches the JDM ashtray armrest.

You think that if Mazda made an aluminum plate that it would be cheaper than 1200.00

LOL
