New parts that you want.
Hey all I have been out a while with my move, new job, starting school again and then there is the wife's honey do list, it is verrrrrrry lonnnnnnnnnnng.
I just found out that my Uncle has started up a machine shop. I am a machinist by trade and want to ask the member if there are any parts that you would like to have made. I want to sell my Uncle on the idea of making a few parts that he can sell. Lets keep the list to nothing to complex. I will have to made the prototypes on the weekend and I do not have to much of them. This will be something that will be a work in progress. The ideas need to be serious. Thanks for any ideas. Steve

How has the stock fuel rail held up? It seems like it would be an easy item to fab.

heck yeah! the rotors already have the same bcp. The ability to bolt on Brembos would be crazy.

I know that his equipment is all Haas, there are only three machines.
The fuel rails hold up great why would you want to mod them? Brembo adapters sound like a great idea and the bracket for the top of the strut towers are another good one. Keep them coming Steve

I have no interest but if you are looking for ideas, how about suspension components. Control arms etc to lighten things up, or to compensate for lowering coils by relocating the ball joints.

But why not go further and figure something out to bolt up STi suspensions?

me and some fellow subi owners have been talking about that actually, we think that our top hats could fit onto the sti bodies, meaning we would just need to redo the dampening and spring rates a little bit
