Fabrication Parts
What new parts should be made available for our cars? Im trying to start my custom fab shop, well officially lol. Ive been making stuff for years. But i want to start to make stuff for our cars. I was thinking cromoly roll cage, cromoly subframe, comoly lower control arms.
But before anyone says yes all the above, Lets see what you would commit to buy, Majority vote wins the first round of builds. As always i will stand behind everything i build.
I will update the first page with people when everything is nailed down for now we will just use it for reference.

I would be into the subframes depending on how much lighter they are than stock.
As for the roll cage, I will definitely buy one.
-
Chromoly cage and subframes are going to be pretty expensive. I Would rather just see them made of mild.
-
I would also love to see solid subframe bushings

Subscribed...I'm certainly interested in the subframe but thats a project for later down the road..

I like the idea of the subframe and would possibly be interested depending on cost vs. weight.
What I've been saving for for awhile now is a modified hub and control arm assembly which converts the suspension to a double wishbone. Yes its exotic but it's the real deal. A true performance upgrade, not just a weight saver. If you could make that happen I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at what might come of the development. With that in mind, the right design it would sell for sure.
I've been going back and forth with my crew for a long time regarding the $ suspension setup. It's actually been discussed over and over and well thought thru. We could have a trigger pulled on it if Erron and I wanted Magnus to cut and fab everything. Unfortunately, for two setups its just not economical so its a bright idea and a pipe dream till we want to spend 3G's.
I would be in for sure if you could come up with something wherin the numbers made it more economical.
I think it'd be safe to speak for Erron also and say he'd be onboard if you could fab something. I'd be more than happy to share the info from H. Landry, J. Lehkuhm, R. Nelson, Erron and I have sifted thru. It's a pipe dream but man it would be cool for sure. As always, it's something others could take further and aid in the development which would make it that much better.
Subframe = in (depending on cost)
Cage, already have that one checked off.
Maybe a double wishbone converson?
Lastly, How about a single turbo kit?
Just stating what's on the brain currently so hope no one minds.
Right on for furthering the platform overclock.

IMO, there are plenty of single turbo kits. It wouldn't be worth the time vs pay off.
-
the single turbo kit i have and would/might change my design from over the trans to in front of trans. But im not to sure on the selling point. i could deff make double wish bone setup but i really need to take a close look at cost on that one.
Just for some kind of reference what type of ball park prices would keep the interest on all the above setups for people.

I want tubular control arms and solid rear diff&subframe bushings. Front and rear subframes would be great too. Possibly hot side intercooler pipes that route under the car like the ETS kit. With all the cxracing kits out there, I'm sure there are buyers that wouldnt mind that(me). Maybe a custom fit meth tank for the trunk, same size and shape as the trays so it looks completely stock. Just thinking out loud here. I'd def be in for rear diff bushings and front control arms pending though.

Could you ballpark how much the cage would weigh?
Solid rear diff bushings would also be nice along with the subframe bushings.
