Hey guys, time for you to shape the future.
What kind of totally awesome stuff would you like to see us develop?
Is there some super JDM-tyte part on the other side of the world that you just can't live without but can't bring yourself to pay for shipping? Something that is needlessly expensive? You said "Ryan, we need a lip for the S4!" and I magicked it up, I heard "We want an affordable FMIC kit that isn't a piece of crap!" and again, I delivered. Header for NA FCs that bolts to the stock catalyst? Done and done! Let me know, we are committed to bringing out the awesome, quality products that YOU want. We don't make parts just because ;) |
u guys rock! how about some decent priced rain deflectors?
|
How about an exhaust system that doesn't make children run for cover or babies ears bleed?
Or cheaper AutoEXE parts for Mazda3's. |

I would absolutely LOVE a Knight Sports replica kit for the RX-8. Even if it's just the front bumper (without the nostrils).

Here is a link to the kit I'm talking about:

I've got a great idea. Us t2 owners need an efficient intake setup, i'm sure even n/a's. We all know just throwing a K&N cone filter does not cut the chase, it sucks in to much engine bay heat. So you guys should supply a box setup to bring true cold air into the filter and the source of the air passage. If it may be a pipe coming from the air dam, or maybe even use a headlight duct? Even though headlight ducts are insufficient. No brake duct entries though. :icon_tup: :icon_tup: :icon_tup:
|
Or just a nice smooth TID replacement for us TII guys. You can even slap it full of Disclaimer stickers if you want. Just give me something so I don't have to fab up a Prelude kit from eBay!!!!!!!!!
|
How about making your FMIC keep AC or PS?
mainly AC, I would buy your kit tomoroww- but I need to keep my AC. I have a bracket from a manual steering AC car- I assume your kit wont fit it at all? |

Buy some VHT Night Shade and go to town. Thats what everyone else does. |
Power folding mirrors and clear side marker lenses.
I hear people talk about these two "mythical" items all the time. I'm sure the markers would sell like hotcakes and shouldn't be too difficult (or costly) to produce, given the right equip. and know-how. As for the mirrors..... I have no interest myself, but wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen them mentioned. |
+1. all of the kits out there are pretty weak.

Well, if you guys can import some infini seats or JDM marker lights... you know the bubble ones. That would be nice.
+1 on a FMIC that would let you keep PS and AC I'd also like to see a pulley made for everyone wanting to do a FD alternator swap. +1 on the rain deflectors too! |
I'd like to see a serpentine belt pully setup that is cost effective, and that uses an fd pully. Would make us FC owners have an easy switch over to the FD alts. Also, it would be nice to be able to keep either the AC or the power steering. Oh, and by cost effective, I would like to see it under $200. :)
I believe a TID would be a great idea. Make it somewhat adjustable so that those who have a standalone can use it just as well as those with the stock afm. Also, an airbox that is integrated into the chassis that works with the newly designed TID would be ideal. The only other thing I can think of is underbody flat panel kits to improve underbody aerodynamics. This should also include options such as tire wind deflectors (rubber to absorb the occational impacts). Of course offering it at a bargain would make us FC owners quite happy! Plus, it should be a big hit with those that track these cars. :) |
Sloppy shifter repair kit/bushing set.

how about a decently priced and effective fd vmount

the window visor, like i search on weather tech, they don't make it for our FC! =/
|
Copy of the RE-Amemiya FC3S Turbo II Hood Scoop Vent.Doesn't seem like anybody else will ,well not by the end of this decade anyway.
|
one thing that i know would kick ur business into high gear would be a v-mount kit for fc's... there has been a lot of people out there on all the forums looking for something that is bolt on and doesn't cost $3000 to start with... u would have to come up with a thermostat housing with a u bend, but i have seen a couple guys make there own without having to cut the tubular chassis support in front of the steering rack.... also a dual oil cooler kit would be another great addition to ur amazing selection of parts and prices... maybe have a target price of 5-600$ max and utilize the factory or aftermarket brake ducts...
|
+1 to the rain deflector
|
How about a MAF upgrade for those that want to push an r-tek pass the choke flow of the stockers.
|
Stock location intercooler upgrade for track cars that dosnt cost 1k. (read NOT stoplight queens that can aford to have a huge obstruction in front of the radiator and oil cooler) Provide an area that would be good for mounting water injection. (although hoses are usually fine)
1.5" dia Harness bar that does not obstruct seat movement and bolts to good hard points even if it takes SOME creative cutting of interior panels. Make it usable with both S4 and S5 cars. +1 on a good smooth flowing TID that locates a cone filter where it would be with a stock AFM . Make something modular with an option for with or without AFM. Provide a K&N cone filter option. Provide a cold air box option. A single solutions for a stock or nearly stock location and inlet turbo for both blocking engine heat, smothing pre-turbo flow, and mounting a cone filter well has yet to be realized. |

Ii know this has been discussed many times in the past, but how about a nice headlight kit for the FCs? Something must be done about those obnoxious OEM pop up headlights!

Also, I would love to see a nice dual exhaust that mates up to your 80mm DP and MP. Something bassy, but not droning, and quieter at full throttle. I am running an Open DP and MP because my fitment options are nill atm and I REALLY want a dual exhaust. Lemme know what you think. |
Sweeeet head light kit!!! Either to replace the 6054's that pop up or projector style and some better looking interior parts. Newly styled TII hood scoop insert!!
|
Glass or plexiglass sunroofs at a reasonable price. Big money maker there.
Headlights that can fit in the stock FTP lens location so as to delete the pop ups. a stroger/better designed door handle? Better looking instrument gauges... maybe white faces or blue faces? with different color light options? |
that's like 5 for the rain deflector/visor thing... i wouldn't mind having one either
|
Some good ideas coming outta here guys. Bad news though, the rain deflectors aren't going to happen. I'd have to get soooooooo many of those made to keep costs down, not to mention finding someone reliable to vacuum form plastic for me.

I'm still in favor of new wiring harness. :)
Also I think the flat underbody panels would sell well with the racing crowd. Also it would be fairly simple to make them out of plywood wood with a fiber overlay. :) |
Mazdaspeed r-spec hood for FD!
|
I would like to see a few things. I didnt read every post so, forgive me if I say the same thing. :)
Rear window visor. Carbon Fiber/FRP/ or even plastic. Rear Valance. (for us S4 guys) Rear Underbody Diffuser. (for S4,S5) Carbon Fiber/FRP interior door panels. Carbon Fiber/FRP headlight panels. S5 side moldings for S4's Maybe some lightweight aluminum pully's. I want anodized orange ones! I would love to see the rain deflectors for the doors in carbon fiber, and sunroof panel also in carbon fiber. And if I think of anything else I'll let you know. Thanks, -Rich |
dual corksport catback? anyone mention that?

I think I am going to have to end up seeing if the RB Rev TII Y pipe and mufflers bolts up to the 80mm DP/MP combo I have going on. |

+1 carbon fiber sunroof also

carbon fiber sunroofs have been around for many years

More rx-8 parts. R-magic and Knight Sports body kits. FI kits (not Greedy). Short shifter.
|
How about some JDM turn signals, and markers for the s4? I've looked around but really couldn't find any.
|
Sleek headlights. Either in kit form to keep costs down, or assembled with lights for those less adventurous.
Gauge Pod (?). A pillar gauges are obtrusive and not always easy to glance at. found pictures for this pod, and though with a huge 80mm gauge and 60 mm gauge, I'm sure 3 60mm could fit in a similar spot. It would also be awesome if it could be covered in vinyl to match the dash texture. http://webpages.charter.net/hotrodmex/pod1.gif http://webpages.charter.net/hotrodmex/pod2.gif Super low seat rails. As a taller person, this is close to my heart. I know Bride makes some, and I think Sparco does too, but neither of these are universal, and I think you guys could make them cheaper BBK kit modification. I think it's awesome that you guys have a kit for the rear of the FC. Have you thought about changing the rear to the much more accessible RX8 rear rotor? I realize this would mean no one would have to order the FD-RZ rotors from you, but it would sure pull me off the fence for buying the kit if I knew the rotors could be had easily and for cheap. Like wise, the RX8 fronts would make excellent candidates for a front kit. Sell me the adapter to use it with a Wilwood caliper and I'm happy. I have some intake ideas that work around the stock airbox too, but I would have to better formulate those before suggesting them. |
