    my pick for parts:
    • off the shelf turbo manifolds (instead of everyone having to build their own or pay $xxxx for one)
    • titanium valve springs/locks/retainers (we have very limited valvetrain selection)
    • intake manifolds drilled to fit our heads? (not a big deal)
    • single belt underdriven crank pulley (who needs AC and PS)
    • off the shelf 2.25", 2.5" and 3" exhaust systems (paceshitter sucks, we need diameter)
    • lexan rear hatch/rear triangle windows (longshot, but hey)
    • find a bolt on obd1 dizzy (to make the obd1 swap easier)
    • true LSD, upgraded tranny internals? (dunno if we need the internals, but lsd could be great)
    • FULL BODIED COILOVERS THAT FIT! + CAMBER PLATES + ADJUSTABLE LOWER PERCH
    • all in one suspension bushing kit (yes i know you can get most of them separate, but i would love an all in one kit - complete front, complete rear, complete front and rear set)
    • double and triple gauge pillar pod


    If I think of more I will post up. But i think the primary interest would be coilovers and bushings, and lsd, and crank pulley lol.

    I will see what I can do on all this but its going to take some time and effort. I dont want to start getting stuff made and then no one buy it. I can get a LSD easily made but it will be about $1000 for one . I will need a stock one for mock up. quaife will hook me up if there is a interest.

    Re: Newbie From Michigan

    A lot of this stuff I don't have any intentions of buying cause I either have it or am not going that path with the car, but I think would be beneficial to the serious 3geez modders out there.

    Once I get my car going I will definintely need LSD, but I DONT know if I will stay with A20 tranny or if I will just do what Jason Budd did and convert to B16 cable tranny.
    The ones I would personally like are coilovers, all in one bushings, lsd. crank pulley i can have custom machined and probably won't cost that much more than aftermarket.

    Not to jack the thread, but do you just not want to have to get a split up kit for the coilovers?

    Re: Newbie From Michigan

    we are actually missing quite a bit of the poly bushings, sway bars arent a big deal, but tie bars would be nice to have. I would love to have a set of good looking strut bars (no offense justin, i love yours they just arent especially pretty :-D)

    does a part have to be pretty in order to be functional? this is not a beauty queen contest. have you seen Pasos set...he got his powdercoated and they look nice

    Its all about function, but if you are trying to make it in a magazine or anything like that. Then yes it is a beauty contest .

    well an easy fix would be to get the civic ones. you just have to custom make the brackets so they fit on our shock towers. if i remember right twhonza has a civic one.
