do you do any gauge pods?

as for billet parts how about flywheels?

frayz 09 October 2012 06:49 PM

What do we win if our ideas are chosen? :p

tubbytommy 09 October 2012 06:53 PM

how about replacement pedal covers??

CDF Racing 09 October 2012 06:55 PM

We could do a billet gauge pod . Would look nice , it's just would someone want to pay £200+ for it
We could do flywheels , but not for the price you could pick Other brands up for

I'm sure we could sort something out in a way of a freebie frayz for someone willing to help

Billet uprights?
Billet alternator, pas, ac brackets?
Billet flipped alternator brackets?
Billet suspension top mounts?
Billet rear diff brace?
Billet rear diff cover?
Billet seatbelt cap blanks for those fitted harnesses?
Billet top radiator brackets?
Billet pas/clutch/brake fluid caps/covers?
Billet battery cover for the popular Odyssey 680 batteries?
Billet spark plug removal socket?
Billet under frames for the popular Aerocatches?

Just a few off the top of my head :D

What about rear diff cover like the PRODRIVE one chris or fuel filler caps to go with your oil caps or brake/clutch fluid tops would be great?

Couple of ideas; battery tie shaped as strut brace (idea stolen from couple of guys on here), custom gear knobs, custom tax disc holders, brake stoppers, induction shields, custom alternator belt covers? Just a few ideas

All of the above plus...

Coolant overflow tank for FMIC conversions.

nice one, have you got a link?

frayz 09 October 2012 07:16 PM

Trouble is... A lot of stuff isn't worth replacing in billet alloy as it only adds weight for no reason when the oem part will do as good a job.
I've tried to base my ideas around items that could be both functional and save weight if possible.

Billet uprights would be my fave :D

frayz 09 October 2012 07:21 PM

Would also be nice to make something new that nobody else does.

It's all been, done and copied before time and time again.

Would be cool to make some parts that aren't available at the moment to actually benefit the cars performance.

Front badge replacement
Rear boot swoosh badging, proper turned alu badges not crap plastic current ones on the market.

sonic93 09 October 2012 07:33 PM

Some good ideas mate ,

Def interested in making some brackets up for the alternator , powersteering

Rad brackets we make for supras so they should be straight forward .

I am waiting for some upright samples to come to me at the moment so will hopefully be doing them soon also

frayz 09 October 2012 07:50 PM

Chris, if you make brackets for the alt, pas etc. They gotta be fully machined out to be lighter and stronger than stock else there's no point.

CDF Racing 09 October 2012 07:50 PM

Fancy drawing some brackets up Frayz? I have no scoob here

Can't see it being long before I get another though :norty:

frayz 09 October 2012 07:54 PM

Billet engine mounts?
Billet lateral rear links?

CDF Racing 09 October 2012 07:54 PM

They are around £150 for the kit.. But we only do 2001 on at the moment .

If you send me a surround I can look at making classics also
