Talking 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

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'll see about the exhaust. As far as the AutoEXE stuff goes, we're the North American distributor for them, and if they caught us selling their stuff below what they want us to, well, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.

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

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.

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?

You can keep PS, the piping just goes through where the AC normally sits.

Coilovers take alot more engineering than you'd think.

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.

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.

Go to a Mazda dealer and put down $15 on the parts counter. It's amazing what they have there.

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...

How about a MAF upgrade for those that want to push an r-tek pass the choke flow of the stockers.
