CUPHOLDER?!?!?

2. Heat Shield to mount between aftermarket header and Lower Intake Manifold. They have them for carb setups, but I haven't found a premade one for the 6 port induction.
3. Interior components - Gauge mount cluster to fit in the center console below the existing audio, or above it with a bracket to relocate the audio downward.
Possibly gauge cluster in idiot light location and relocate idiot light cluster to center console. - Center armrest with cupholder!!! - CF or Aluminum dash

A Cupholder? Are you serious?
If you have time to drink while driving, you're doing something wrong. 
Besides, that's what the passenger is for! Ask my Fiancee what her name is...She knows! It's "Cupholder"

you could assemble them for people .... and preload the maps .... it's a cheaper version of the Haltech
or how about a cheap bolt on turbo kit for both 12a's and 13b's .... complete with BOV, piping, intercooler, and manifold (but without the actual turbo - they supply their own). Find a way to keep it to less than $800 - $1000 for everything?

You got me there. But my cupholder can do more than hold a cup, so I guess there is a trade off.

Ok. I gotta throw in a couple of things here. 1. You guys are gonna have more rice than a chinese resturant. Not cool.. 2. If your not gonna do it right don't do it at all.
want a cupholder go to any hardware store and get one that hangs off the glove box. Works great its tidy, removable and only about 4 bucks. If your gonna do NOS do it dry on a 50 shot not wet. And Carbon Fiber is goin outa style. Thats my opinion now people can jump all over this thread.

I have figured out how to bolt a turbo onto my 89gtu using a turbo II manifold, an additional injector controller, HKS boost controller and various other gadgets and plumbing.... HOWEVER, a self contained dry sump oiling system for the turbo with an electic oil pump would be beautiful (the N/A block doesnt have hte proper oil line hookups), right now, that is the only thing holding me back....
and, if youve ever noticed, nobody really makes a way-cool bumber cover for the genII, they all look relatively similar to the stock one, which is why I' wont for out several hundred to a thousan dollors for something that is basically just a rip off of the stock one.
Carbon/fiber drop in subwooferes to replace the rear cargo bind would be WAY cool as well (I'M making molds right now for various parts, including these bins... but, I've no time to be making them for the masses as my day job takes up most of my time.. but you never know... I may just quit!!)

Doing a 50 shot dry of Nitrous is still dangerous, I wouldn't do it... but others may tell you differently. We want to offer quality products and not stuff that will blow your engine to kingdom come. There will be NO dry nitrous systems available, but there is a HIGH possibility of a wet bolt on system.... like you said, if you're going to do it, do it right. That's been my philosophy.... check out my webpage if you get a chance.

I'm looking into the megasquirt fuel injection. I ordered one to play around with. Does anyone know if you can still use the stock ECU to control the timing, or will a distributor have to be used?
Cold air box and hard intake pipe are DEFINITE.

How bout some mounting brackets to mount an aftermarket supercharger? Basically bringing back a supercharger kit for 2nd gens. Or how about an aftermarket transmission crossmemeber to accommidate a TII tranny in an NA. Or a big brake kit for a 4 lug hub. For those of us that didnt plan ahead, and bought wheels before considering the need for bigger brakes.

Toyed with the idea of brackets for a supercharger, but right now, the entrance price is too high. If someone could lend us a supercharger, we could definitely get a kit together... or if a company is willing to donate one, I'm all about making an SC kit for the NA FC.
About the big brake kit, not sure if there would be much of an interest there for the 4-lug people. Most people will upgrade their hubs before.... If anyone else is interested in a big brake kit for the 4-lug FC, post here so we can judge interest.
about the 6 port actuactor... we have some pretty slick ideas and it should not be very expensive... how much does all of the stuff that you listed cost for the DIY conversion?

Any product that would lighten the car and add some style would sell. #1 being a light weight TII "style" hood at a reasonable price, I would buy one for my vert. Sunroof, ect. I think the most important thing is keeping the prices reasonable.
A supercharger kit, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!! SOOOO many people would by this! If you put together a kit that provided EVERYTHING (bigger secondaries, fuelpump, ect...) This would be what EVERY N/A driver would save up for to get more power.

ok, not to be a kill joy.....but! for what it would cost for a "basic" supercharger "kit" you could A. go to the junk yards and rape a few TIIs and do a compleet swap. or B. find a wrecked TII in the paper.
just my 2 cents......

I see what your saying, but there are people out there who would want to go another way. not wanting to swap engines, trannys and rear ends. Not want to put used parts in there car. Not want to have to fabricate parts to make them work. Not wanting to have to seach for all the parts. On the other hand there are people who would want to do that. But as of now there is not a SC kit out there. I for one would by one if there was.

I would LOVE a N/A Carbon Fiber hood, a carbon fiber dash/interior kit, and a hard pipe intake among other things...a wet nitrous kit would awesome too. I would def. buy all of these!
