For just the hardware, no, a new manifold and DP, Oil filter pedestal and oil lines, coolant lines. Then the owner would get a stock turbo and a T2 front cover, and install a haltech or a T2 ECU.

Lambo door kit maybe? 5 mm rotors. after market back seat conversion kit... MAP sensor conversion kit, 5 lug conversion kit, stronger door handles (some guys know what I mean about that) 20B conversion kit of course, a good repair kit for my sunroof thats retarded to open/ or I'm just too lazy to research the fix and tear it all apart (which takes forever) and really fix it, There's lots of stuff I wish was after market that I didn't have to get directly from Mazda but thats all that comes to mind at the moment

If you can find it that would be awesome. Dual pods are common but I've never seen a triple pod for FCs, they have them for FD though.

a adapter for 2 13bs to sit side by side to hook up to 1 trany.....would be sweet =) a 4 rotor for half the cost

or adapter for a flat 4 to a 13b trany would make for a lighter car, lower cg and u could still get 300 hp and cost of a rebiuld would go from 1000+ to 400 bucks

CF roof, if even possible. (Not just a sunroof insert.)
Really anything that would take some weight off of the car.

I don't mean to be a pessimist, but these topics come up often and nothing ever comes of them. Not a single one of these has produced any products for our cars EXCEPT when the thread has been started by an established vendor.

The market is too small, most people aren't willing to pay reasonable prices, and the original poster always underestimates the amount of effort required.

aaron's right, but i still like to read what everyone else would want if they had their way

AFM->hot wire MAF conversion kit (to eliminate that ugly huge AFM unit, heh), newer-style door handles that pull out instead of lift up (the stock unit size may be too small, though)
