I searched this thread for dual tip and dual exhaust; no hits. I want a dual tip, 3" inlet muffler like Mack has without having to do all the work he did. I prefer the sleeper look, want good performance and don't like melon launcher tips. DSMtuners - - kenamond's Images
Here's a 3" inlet, dual 2.5" outlet muffler that you would weld up to your 3" exhaust, the weld a pair of tips onto to make it look stock-esque.
i like the idea of the patch harness type thing but what would also be nice would be a patch harness which incorporated the thing dsmchips made to run the 91-94 ECU's in a 90 sure the wiring isn't hard but its still a PITA
Searched the thread, but did not see anything about aluminum brackets for the alternator and A/C.
It would save a little weight...granted very little,but still some.
what would this entail? how would you change the geometry? could you photochop it or ms paint it to give me an idea? i am just curious. would an aluminum piece have to be beefier than a stock piece or do you think it could stay the same size?
Basically you take a stock piece then you copy it with all the places for the control arms to connect to it moved 1". All this does is moves the tire and axles 1" closer to the top of the fender well. The problems that we have for lowering our cars is that upper control arm hits into the fender itself. Now you keep the control arms in the stock location but the car is lowered 1". You would have a lowering kit for 1" lowered even if you have a bone stock suspension. If you design it right it should be as stronger or stronger than stock.
You can do a google image search for "drop spindles" to see some examples. They look exactly like stock spindles except all the mount points are 1" lower except for where the wheel attaches and the axle goes through that stays in the same place. Make sense? For larger tire fitment you just take the angle of the spindle and make it more square. I'll take a pic of the JDM GVR4 spindle and show the mods....
Also would be cool to use the JDM GVR4 knuckles as the basis, that way the EVO brakes are a bolt on deal i think that piece would really sell because people are spending $400 on knuckles just to bolt on evo brakes. You put them into a package like that and your good. EVERYONE runs at least 1" lowered, everyone. and people will be happy to have the option to tuck larger tires.
I would like to see a nice billet style battery mount and custom coolant bottle on a 2G. Stock coolant bottle cannot be used for anyone running short route piping. I have some cheap ugly looking thing that I mounted near the headlight. And all the battery mounts I have seen are for 1G's.

Anything for the 1g,is what is really needed,I mean the 2g is like a honda...they make everything for it,start makein stuff FOR...THE ...1GGGGGGGG....!!!!!!!!
I would like to see a decent Electric water pump. The Stangs get away with everything! ! I know some guys have made one off stuff, but it would be great to have a conversion kit.

I hate JM Fab's website. I always wanted to check them out, but everytime I go to their website and want to look at their items it requires you to register and everytime I try it takes me to the same page. Like my browser doesn't allow me to get in to view anything. I don't understand why they make it so difficult to browse items they sell.
Also I don't want a tiny battery like the JM Fab deal. I have too many electronics in the car to run a tiny battery like that. I have the small Optima battery made for Honda's. The D51. That one provides 450 cold cranking amps, deep cycle and only weighs about 22 pounds compared to the standard Optima that weighs over 40 pounds.
