Default Road Racing/Autox wish list

Is there sort of bolt on component you wish you could have for autocross, lapping days, w2w racing etc? Anything that's out there that you wish was made better? I'm thinking along the lines of things like suspension and chassis parts, other ideas are welcome. I know it's difficult but try to keep the smart-*** responses to a minimum

--Joe

P.S. Yes I do have good reason for asking but I make no promises

I would LOVE to have a logging pyrometer setup for my tire temps....inner, middle, and outer on all 4 tires, after the session go back and look at it to adjust setup.

All it takes is cubic dollars.

I saw a USTCC car with those jacking pistons like the champ/irl cars have.

That'd be nice to have.

How about a camber adjustment kit for 1st gen CRX/Integra lower control arms. That's the torsion bar suspension. I can picture a sliding type of attachment to allow the ball-joint to slide on the arm. Maybe there's a better way. The camber kits that allow the top of the strut to move are nice, but I believe there are some rules that restrict the enlargement of that hole. Or how about some lighter weight suspension components for those vehicles, made from magnesium or aluminum.

I'm leery of using slots for camber adjustment on the upright, because the bolt may start to migrate. Also, I believe the 1st gen CRX has double wishbone suspension so I don't think strut adjustment will do anything. Suggestions taken though, keep them coming

1st gen CRX and 3rd Gen civics are torsion bar front suspensions. 2nd gen CRX is double wishbone front.

--Chris, who is off again to bang on a ball joint on his 3rd gen Civic, and has an up close view.
