Default Custom fabrication, what kind of stuff do you guys need??

My buddy and I are trying to start a little thing where we find out what people want, and we make it. I'm trying to get a list of what you guys are interested in.

Once we get a good list going, we can start making stuff. Everything is going to be made with the best of materials and will be guaranteed. This is just a test.

i despise the fact that my car is an automatic and have been looking(not too much yet) for a less expensive/more straight forward way of converting to the manual. A full kit thats already put together with one straight fee(besides labor) would own.

I agree... I'm a starving college student rite now so i don't see it within my immediate budget to pay for a swap, and for my own reasons like many other people cannot part with this car to trade for a manual. So even if not for myself, i know that alot of people are in the same shoes as we are with automatics and not to many places to turn to for a "well informed/experienced" shop or source for the swap. Sure we could try it ourselves or take it to a ship wiling to give it a go, but what about all the little things like.. the reverse light wiring, and tranny/motor mount, and lockin the auto thing to park so we can take our key out. Small details like that are jewels of info that if offered with a full good condition swap will be a big hit for alot of us. Anyway.. thats just my humble opinion.

Sounds good guys. Thanks for the replies. So far, from the thread being here and the FI forum, looks like downpipes, "full" turbo kits, and auto-manual kits will probably be made.

Keep in mind for you auto to manual people, this is a "kit." You still have to get the big things like the tranny, clutch, etc, yourselves. We can provide the hard to find upper and lower tranny mount for the Integras. They will be custom made, CNC machined, etc. There is a prototype one on my car and it is working perfectly. The paint is chipping, but it was just a test mount. Clutch lines and whatnot can also be provided.

Stay tuned for more info.

Thanks again for the replies.

We are already making a few LS/Vtec kits so if any of you are interested, just let me know.

-6 series aluminum cnc'd strut tower bars, with multiple mounting locations, front and rear bars, at under $100 each. rear should also have a quick release mechanism so you can undo it to fit lots of crap in the hatch if you have to.

-lower rear tie bars, also from 6 series alu, and also cnc'd.

to the low cost aluminum strut tower bars and especially to the quick release RUSTB

and a numerically lower 5th gear that would give us 35+ MPG while cruising on the highway....

A front strut bar like mine here, only MADE for a LHD not RHD car, and won't cover the master cylinder:



And a master cylinder brace.
And an aluminum upper right motor mount bracket like the JDM only cheaper

Wow, a lot of replies and votes suddenly. That's good.

I'll talk to my friend about all of this, and I'll get back to you guys with some good info.

FYI: LS/Vtec kits are already in the works. Just have to finalize a few more little things.
