Suspension Bushings
And anything u can add for the n/a/fwd community. Suspensions, Performance, Drivetrain, etc.
AWD Brake Adaprter kits. There r several but none too awesome. One is made to run 1g vr4 calipers with 13" Cobra rotors... That requires larger rims not all of us have/want. Another is made of aluminum and I dont trust that. To mount to a caliper stopping a 3.5k lb car.

No point in a CAI when there is little to no power difference over a short ram. I know because I used to run a true CAI. Also the factor of sucking up water is not a good factor. I was only driving in a rain storm, didn't submerge anywhere, and it managed to suck water in. Luckily when the water hit the MAS it stalled me out instead of hydrolocking the engine.

I feel like people always get carried away in these what would you like made threads.. everyone always mentions tubular subframe and when there's a real group buy project in the works with J fast the list has like 3 people and is now a dead thread. They need to make reasonably priced stuff that will be useful to us and sell like hotcakes..
The ideas I liked are the oil pan, and pitroad M style front strut bar. Stuff that most of us can't easily make but also won't cost to much.

Have you seen the prices on Whiteline products and bushings?! might as well have bought the 3 bushing kits from 3SX for $1200 when they were available.. it's not that hard to take your own measurements and make something work. companies like energy suspension and whiteline are not going to develop stuff for a car thats been out of production for over 10 years. either way, I don't see a profit in poly bushings for IPS

yah, that is kind of what I was getting at.. things like 3 pt strut brace's and baffled oil pans would have a good mark-up for them but to me still be reasonably priced.
