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.

Anything's possible with a little ingenuity.

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.

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.

How about someone to take over Hayame and make some radiator brackets, and such. I'm going to go nuts because I can't find these brackets.

Good luck with that, it'll take a lot of bracing.

I like this idea. Slightly better balance between cylinders without individual cylinder tuning.

Maybe a dual feed from the filter into each end of a modified fuel rail with the FPR mounted in the center of the split rail?

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.

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.

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.
