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

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 *****, custom tax disc holders, brake stoppers, induction shields, custom alternator belt covers? Just a few ideas

All of the above plus...

OE Recirc DV bracket to fix to the inlet when you have a FMIC conversion.
Coolant overflow tank for FMIC conversions.

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

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.

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

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.
