What parts do you guys want?

[becauseican]

Well it seems that I will be building custom mk3 parts full time now. I am quiting my full time job to expand my personal business of making MK3 downpipes etc. I might be going into fabbing parts for other cars like 240sx, AE86 and a few others.

So the question is what parts would you like to be seen made?, I am currently doing a 1JZ swap in my car and I have a few things on the go. Give me your thoughts on what the mk3 community is lacking, and I will try to make it happen. I have a few ideas already but I would like some input.

Here is what I have in mind.

- Stainless Steel Targa Bars- Done
- Cat back exhaust system, possibly a 3.5"- Done
- 3.5" downpipes
- Stainless steel cat backs
- Bolt on Turbo adapters, for t3 and t4 turbo's
- Upper Stainless steel IC pipe, fender hole to TB, polished with BOV flange- in the works
- Sway bar end links, with spherical ends- Done

1JZ parts

- Top feed fuel rails, with adapters to fit much more available size injectors.- Done
- Pre 89 motor mount adapter brackets- Done
- 3" Bolt on downpipes- Done
- 3" Y-pipes
- Intercooler kits- coming soon
- Hard pipe kits- coming soon
- T3 or T4 adapter, using the stock manifolds

[Ckanderson]

I would say a 3.5 SS exhaust ALA 2jtma71 (ron) would be good. Jewish Jalopi is making the 1jz t4 adaptors.

Oh... and if you need someone to try out an IC setup :raises hand:

:withstupi I would be more than happy to test as well. :x:

[empera]

block off plates?

[Ckanderson]

JBLmk3 has those..

[becauseican]

I know Jewish Jalopi was going to make some, but has he finished any yet?.

[Ckanderson]

yes. IIRC. I have seen his mock ups and I belive he ran the setup for awile.

[becauseican]

But is he making them for sale, or just for himself?.

[Ckanderson]

Sale.

[lagged]

y pipes the same length as the stock CAT with a turn down and electronic cut out to be sold as a package!

[GrimJack]

Hardpipes that are designed to fit through the snorkel hole, bypassing the fender idea.

[Furball]

Hey! Good for you Randy! I know this post doesn't have any suggestions in it, I just wanted to congradulate and encourage you in your venture. Good luck bro.

[empera]

agreed on the hardpipe idea.

[pedro]

cut outs on a dp
tubular lower a arms, tubular upper a arms

[becauseican]

I already sell a bolt on testpipe with a cut out.

[shaeff]

y pipes the same length as the stock CAT with a turn down and electronic cut out to be sold as a package!

from BIC website:

3" race test pipe
A fully bolt on unit with a cut out/ dump combined into one pipe. For those times you want to run open downpipe, or at the track to knock a tenth or two off 1/4 mile time. Includes blockoff plate and a bolt on turn down, to prevent melting of under coating etc. Plate unbolts with three nuts and turndown bolts on in 5 min.

Price $150

BUT, we want an electronic cutout:) - we're all too lazy to buy one from summit and put it on your testpipe. hook us up!

i third this idea!

[Trust_GTE]

Hardpipes that are designed to fit through the snorkel hole, bypassing the fender idea.

Great idea, i have a pipe that goes to the fender but not from fender to ic. Any thoughts on the id of the piping? Sorry if this is off topic, but randy when will you have the 3" dp for the 1j? Just curious because you can put me on the list asap!! :icon_twis

[becauseican]

The hard pipes will be 2.5" od SS piping.

I should have the first few 1J downpipes done in about two- three weeks.

[CTsupra]

custom high flowing mkiv style intake mani - bolt on kit
4" dp to cat-back system (burns muffler)
front and rear diffusers ( i think do-luck sells a front one, maybe a rear one based off of do-lucks front?)
custom aluminum under-paneling
electric waterpump
modified oil pans
modified oil pump - i dont care how just anything thats more reliable, lol.
Someone should come up with an entire modified oiling system too.
dual or triple in-tank pump hangars
quad gauge pod going down far right side of main dash area turned in facing driver
lighter more stronger sub-frames
lighter more stonger complete chassis
re-designed aluminum block
and a big friggin aluminum wing with six inserts...

Just some stuff I think about.

[GrimJack]

modified oil pans

Oooohhh... me too. Especially one with the wings on it. Gotta find a pic of that again... I wonder if the good Doc has one on MkIIItech.com...

[IJ.]

Calliper adaptors ala NightPager kit.
(I don't want them but I get asked to make them a lot)

oops. should have double checked what you already offer b/c! :icon_wink

[becauseican]

Well that oil pan is very nice, I just dont think I have the rescorces to make something like that right now.

I do have a MK4 bolt on BBK in the works, using the mk4, 4 piston calipers ad the mk4 rotors. The prototype should be done in a few weeks.

I'll get right on that aluminum engine block :bling:

[GrimJack]

Admittedly, a cast magnesium oilpan is more than a little bit of work. What I was wondering is whether you could modify stock oilpans with the wings.

Keep in mind, my knowledge of welding is limited - I know just enough to be dangerous. :)

Randy: I'm using Mk4TT Rotors+AP 4 spot callipers on mine and would be happy to provide any info you think might help.

[drunk_medic]

Sheeit.. I am thinking about a Wilwood big brake kit, but I would "settle" for a Mkiv front brake [and rear, if it was also an option] fittment kit anyday, especially from a fellow well-known MkIII guy. Gotta support the community! PLEASE let us/me know when this is almost complete.

[IJ.]

DM: mine is front and rear and the balance with the AP callipers is perfect!

[drunk_medic]

DM: mine is front and rear and the balance with the AP callipers is perfect!
You've got me chomping at the bit now, man. I am curious to know how much this will cost for the brackets now.
I've wanted to do this for a long time, and for years I've been told it "can't be done, forget it, pain in the ass" - "oh, it can be done, but you need alot of custom work". Just a month ago, when compiling upgrade lists for the future of my car, I finally decided that I could go towards a Wilwood set and be done with it, but now if there is a way to augment the MkiV brakes and it works and is balanced perfectly, I'm in.

[IJ.]

DM: The "issues" aren't too dificult to overcome, the main one is the Mk3 hubs are 5mm too big to go inside the Mk4 rotors on the front!

The rest of it is pretty easy, My front callipers have larger pistons than the rear this is why the balance is correct.

I'm using slotted DBA rotors and a recent blast down a mountain pass here in Australia showed me just how much better this setup is compared to stock!

No Fade No glazing No locking No worries :)!

I'm sure BIC can make this happen (I just don't have time to make kits and the shipping would kill any cost savings I could offer)

[ShouLinPanther]

All I know is that I want a Y-pipe and downpipe combo for the 1jz from you, or maybe if the y pipe will fit perfect in with the hks dp would be nice also, either way that is what i want and let me know when the first batch is done I will buy one from you, oh and when you dyno test them i want to see charts, and pics :D because i know all your products have come out good so far i just want to see how good these are going to do

[derK]

definetly make something that will allow us to run MK4 brakes. IT would be a HOT HOT HOT item.

[Twigger]

If no one has said it first, I'd like to see a lower hardpipe for the 7m.

[Shinobu]

I'm interested in the MKIV Brake Kit and some 7M IC Hardpipes. I am also interested in some targa braces like the ones I saw on your car in the Suprafest 04 video...

[becauseican]

The mk4 brakes are in the works. I will try to make some Targa bars in a month or two once I have some more free time.

I dont know about a 1JZ Y pipe kit right now, there is alot of labor involved in one of those, I helped out Turbo Drifter with his.

[SP 7M]

I'd go for a 3.5-4" cat back system (eventually), a MKIV brake adapter set, targa bars, and I'm 99% sure that I'll get the DDP (SP61GT stylie) after I get back from Japan. I'm just concerned about the CHP snooping around my car (when I'm freed from this shithole of an island and live back in Cali) and finding the open pipe in the DDP. Back to the topic-I'd be down for some sway bars and strut tower bars. I was planning on getting SusTech sways and Cusco towers, but I'd be willing to help your cause. Also, a rear cross bar like the one Do-Luck makes would be cool.

I'll buy from you, no question. I'm excited to see what you end up making. Best of luck, Randy.

[Furball]

You can get the DDP rerouted so it doesn't dump to atmosphere. No more watching your back for CHPs.

[SP 7M]

I really dig the sound of the open pipe and I'm all about getting it, but Suprablur MBZ from socalsupras.com stressed how much trouble you could possibly be in if a cop found out about it. Maybe there is some way I can try to hide it. I know that if I heat wrap it (in an attempt to draw less attention to the piping), the color of the heat wrap will change at the bottom of the wastegate pipe. Maybe I'll wrap it and paint the wrap flat black or something. I think I might end up going with it and trying to "sneak" it. Driving within the confines of the law will help, too. :x:

[CTsupra]

How 'bout a quality engine brace?

[drunk_medic]

Yeah.. engine brace would be nice! I second that!

[drunk_medic]

Oh.. and if it's possible, a tenative price on the MkIV brake adapters and the engine brace, if it's an option.

It's nice to know that there are still new things being developed for our cars. Gives hope for the future!

[becauseican]

What kind of engine brace do you guys mean?

[drunk_medic]

http://www.performancenissanparts.com/catalog/images/Stillen_Engine_Dampener_307355.jpg
Something kinda like this, but with the proper length and brackets for our application [the one pictured is for a Nissan of some sort]. Usually goes from the strut tower, or a solid part of the engine bay, to the side of the engine, possibly where the lift hook is. It's a good precaution for people who are worried about the torque pushing the engine to the side a little. Some people run upgraded turbos that mount closer to the strut tower, and too much torque could push the compressor housing against the strut tower, causing a cracked compressor housing or cracked exhaust manifold.

[FinalRights]

FFI :D The above is for an SR20DET. I would love to have an engine damper. Oh if you don't want to make FFI's,how about making altenator plates? Those shouldn't be to hard to do once you have one made,and I bet you'd sell a good bit of those.

[kermitthefrayer]

I would like a DDP for the SP61GT and some targa bars would be sick too.

[Orion ZyGarian]

He is making the SP61GT DDP.

I say FFIM...its all teh rage now it seems, I've been on MkIII boards for just over a year and a half and I hadnt seen anything really related to FFIM until recently, but I personally would thing it would be the best thing to go with.

Also, the other ones require some general fabrication, moving stuff around...maybe a FFIM that us regular guys with a few mods could use...people who want to keep their A/C and whatnot that would rather not move stuff from where it is! :D

It's not just "the rage" - there are less bends [no matter how good mandrel bends are with the stock setup, a front facing intake manifold is better for flow.] in the intercooler piping, and the pipes do not run over a hot engine JUST after being heated/compressed, then run through an intercooler.

[GrimJack]

Not to be a pain, but I think he really needs to concentrate on things that have a large market. Take the DDP, for instance. This thing sells like hotcakes, because you can bolt it onto an otherwise stock Supra. This makes his possible market thousands of people.

Now if he were to put the time and effort into researching, designing, and fabricating something rare - like a DDP for stock twins on a 1J engine - there are, what, less than 100 people in North America with stock twins and a 1J swap? His possible market is small, and that makes it unlikely to be worthwhile.

I realize this is harsh, but for someone who is paying the bills by fabbing us parts, this is the cold reality.

[becauseican]

Dont worry about it Dave :beer: I just want to get ideas on what people are interested in, a big brainstorming session. But you are right, some small market things might be less apealing for me to make, because of the amount of custom work involved and few sales to make it worth while. Keep the ideas comming. I have some things in the works.........you will find out when they are done.

I know, I'm not arguing with it; I'm all for the FFIM thing, have no idea why the hell it didnt come stock with it...

Toyota really fucked up on the intercooling of the MkIII. Horribly inefficient IC, crappy piping, and then they make it longer and harder than it shouldve been! Nonetheless, I still have much love for Toyota and especially my MkIII :)

Like I said earlier, the best idea I'd say is a bolt on FFIM...nothing to worry about, just slap it on and it'll make routing IC piping easier (especially hard pipes) with aftermarket FMICs, perhaps a bit less lag, and its not going by the hottest area under the hood.

[w0rm]

I want a exhaust simular to the HKS Sport... Something that looks totally stock, yet flows great and is quiet at idle and normal driving... Yet I want something that sounds good and mean while under boost...

EDIT: Maybe something with a bit more of an agressive sound, but still totally stock looking. Nothing super loud though... But maybe a bit of an exotic sound.


I guess probably the best way to do this would to offer different muffler options on the catback. Do you have access to a mandrel bender or will you be welding in the bends?

[drunk_medic]

I've said that in the past as well... the HKS 75mm Turbo exhaust is a little small-ish for some of our power goals, and it is prone to rust. Now, if you could make a "BIC 95mm SS Turbo" exhaust...

[shaeff]

[becauseican]

No I havent saved up the $50,000 + for a mandrel bender yet. I do have a place that can do mandrel bending for me, but that would just add to the cost of the parts. It isnt cheap to get pipe bent.

Would most of you want a cheaper aluminized exhaust that looks stock, or one with the muffler on an angle? what mufflers would you want?, or would you want to pay the extra $$ and have it in stainless steel?

[shaeff]

i would pay extra for SS, definately. i would want something thats at least 3" mandrel bent, with bone stock appearance, and not really loud. (ill soon have an electric cutout in place of the catalyitic converter, so i dont need all the horsepower from the exhaust, but i want free flowing)

i'm all about the sleeper look, so i say stock look in stainless steel. (is that an oxymoron haha)

-shaeff

[ma71supraturbo]

A triangular strut tower brace like the CP racing one, but "adjustable" so it will fit securely on cars that have been stressed differently over the years. Bonus points if you include a backing plate for the inside of the firewall (small enough to fit through the AC vents, large enough to get the job done). Extra bonus points if it could be removed/reinstalled easily for engine repairs.

Hollow sway bars like the Tanabe, but adjustable on the rear (just make the end flat and drill multiple mounting holes)

A "real" driveshaft loop that won't just rip out of the unibody like the stocker

Hubcentric wheel spacers (especially ones with an outer hubcentric ring of their own for the MKIVtt front wheels)

Solid Engine mounts for the 86.5-88

An adapter to bolt onto the front of the AFM with piping to relocate the air filter below the passenger headlight

[w0rm]

I want something that looks totally stock. As far as materials it would depend on the price. I love the look of the HKS sport, but its pretty pricey and it would be nice to have a bit bigger than 75mm piping.

I think there is sort of two markets you can get at here... One wants something quieter and stock looking (like myself) and the other wants something that looks aftermarket and screams.

[CTsupra]

this won't happen, but i would love to see a dual n1 type exhaust with dual 80-90mm pipes and canisters.

anyway, if i wanted a custom exhaust, it would definately be ss, use a burns muffler and have an angled canister.

[Orion ZyGarian]

I'd think something like that, except full 3" exhaust then twin 1.5"-2" exhaust would be sweet.

However, I REALLY need/want a FFIM, so if you arent going to make one, let us know so I can move on :)

[becauseican]

No I wont be making a front facing intake manifold, there are already a few people making them.

[Ckanderson]

this won't happen, but i would love to see a dual n1 type exhaust with dual 80-90mm pipes and canisters.



A dual pipe exhaust system with dual burns mufflers would be SO awesome.. make this! Each pipe like 2.5 inches.

[CTsupra]

i say a 3" pipe, then split it into dual 3" or 3.5" pipes and burns mufflers :drool:

[Ckanderson]

dual 3.5 inch pipes are too big not room to fit it.. but if he did a dual 2 inch or dual 2.5 inch from the cat back their would be more ground clearence. thats the main reson you do duals. I'd be down for duals. would i replace my hks Hi Power? damn.. thats a hard question

[Ckanderson]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33636&item=7972628635&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Using a muffler liek that.. cut the y pipe off. That would be perfect. and cheap...

And use a y pipe like this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34203&item=4546248291&rd=1

[Orion ZyGarian]

Yes, thats what I was talking about. I didnt want to sound like a ricer, but thats actually the muffler I'd want, but slant cut and flame treated.

[becauseican]

My brother has the Apexi dual N1 on his S13 it is very loud and drones quite bad. I am sure it will quiet down alot once we put a turbo on it.

Dual 3" will not fit, it would hang very low, dual 2.5" would work though, I will look into this farther. Would you want it in stainless steel or aluminized?, also what would you be willing to pay?

[Ckanderson]

For a good quality dual............ possibly up to 650-700 I would chose aluminized though cause i live in Cali... no frozen canadian winters up here eh... but would I buy one...........I like my exhaust allot I'd have to see how the dual N1 looks.......

[Travisimo]

how about a shorter test pipe for the blitz nur? I don't have one but I assume you could put out a batch pretty easy.

[empera]

SS "Accordian" Hose... :)

[Orion ZyGarian]

My Megan drones at 2.5k or so if I dont shift.

I'd personally want stainless steel, but I dont know anything about aluminized. T304 is pretty much what we need everywhere, especially if you live close enough to the beach and whatnot (I dont, but I may be driving down a few times). It depends on how well the aluminized version would resist rusting.

If the aluminum was plenty cheaper and such, I'd prefer it.

2.5" still may be a bit big. With some math and magical formula, doesnt it flow like a 4" or 4.5" or something? I'd rather have the 2.5" if the 2" was too small...dunno, just wondering myself.

Would you be able to do a slant cut flame treated version though? :p I'm still looking for a pic of that exhaust that ckanderson showed, except the version I was talking about.

[drunk_medic]

Aluminized is no good, man. My HKS exhaust was ruined by the Florida climate.

[Dziuggy]

If no one has said it first, I'd like to see a lower hardpipe for the 7m.

$6 at you local friendly home depot.


and for randy, how about offering an option of sp61gt DDP with external WG flange on the dump. as sp61gt internal WG's are super crapy and almost everyone who has then have had some issues. so even cheap ebay extrenal wg would be better in that case.

That could be done , it wouldnt be to hard. I will look into this some more.

[PynkEye]

Id defenetly go for a Aluminum Lower Ic Pipe that fits to stock ic, aluminum would be better than steal since it disipate heat faster, thus making the air from turbo to ic cooler..giving the ic a greater cooling power. Dont know if the difference would be ...Big..but its an idea.
Most importantly it has to be free, free for everyone !!! whos with me :poon:

Then again, I do already own your reg. DP for the 7M. :naughty: I was thinking if perhaps you would take a stab at it, I could send you my BIC DP for the 7M and you could fab/use as test piece to make the 1J DDP for stock twins. Just a thought. I would more gladly pay the difference for a price piece like that! :x:

I will be making a 3" bolt on 1JZ downpipe in the next few weeks, a divorced pipe is alot of work, I have already helped a fried build one for his 1JZ. BTW are you talking about seperate say 2.5" pipes comming off each turbo, then joining about 6-12" farther down, or two seperate 2.5" pipes and seperate wastegate pipes, internally or externally venting?. If you want these start saving your pennies because they will be a lot of work, I would have to charge $400 + to make it worth my time, for the very few that I would sell.

I was thinking definately two seperate 2.5" pipes and seperate wastegates, venting externally. Im just really after whichever 1 will free up the most power out of the stock 1JZ setup and I was thinking that would be it. If Im worng, let me know! Thanx in advance. Dont worry, I've been saving up my pennies! I even have some dimes to throw in there!

[Yawgmoth]

I'm with ma71 when he said he wants a adaptor for the afm that goes under the passenger side headlight. Ihave been searching for something/thinking of a way to do that for myself for a while now....

i havent been able to read the entire thread, but wat about an intercooler kit? for the stock IC.

[Orion ZyGarian]

You mean a hardpipe kit? That'd be cool, but you are just as good off going to an exhaust shop for the piping

[stratoayu]

yea, a hardpipe kit. all the muffler shops around here are incompetent... they all have shitty equipment. none of them have mandrel. i found one place that will charge 1500 Can for a completly fmic set up though...

I want the targa bars... I would jump right on that.
Please start selling those :)

Just wait, people will soon be wearing BIC shirts and putting BIC on the sides of their cars. :)

I like the idea of a SS "accordian" replacement. With the same ports as the accordian hose.

It's going to be nuts once finished!!!! :burnout: :arcadefre

[604MKIII]

I would deff pick up a hardpipe kit but I think you should forsure put out a catback that bolts right up to a downpipe, so I can buy your DDP and Catback all at once and have a brand new exaust from my turbo back!!!

[JDM 1JZ]

I want the targa bars... I would jump right on that.
Please start selling those :)


my thoughts exactly!!:bigthumb:

[jam4484]

I wouldn't mind a radiator and ic cover plate like from cfx, but in metal so it would be cheaper.

Jon

[Nub_Supra_eu]

how about something simple like a front sway bar or rear sway bar. all the big name brands charge alot for those things.......

[empera]

Ffim

[SP 7M]

FfimYeah. Hopefully I'll be able to get one some day.

[mkIIIman089]

Just a modification to one of your existing products... But a DDP that will work on LIPP turbos, if one of them doesn't already.

[Loki]

Ffim


I don't see the need for another person to start making them, no doubt Randy could build an amazing one but how many people are already making them?

[89Turbo]

one of those air boxes that surround the intake.

[El Nagro]

It would be very cool to see BIC making some adjustable suspension components like control arms and lateral bars and such. If you could find a cheep way of making dampening and rebound adjustable coilovers that would also be very pimp. Also 4" titanium exhaust :evil2: .

If you could make any of that list come true you would be amazing!! I am not realy counting on you making any of these however because their probibly isnt much of a market for those kinds of componets, look like I am on my own. I better go dust off the welder its goin to be along winter :aigo: .

[americanjebus]

i see allot of farfetched one off custom parts being listed and i can tell your not gonna make them, cus simply put your trying to run a bussiness and number of sales = your staying in bussiness. i dont buy many parts, mostly stock, and minor mods not HUGE hp goals and fairly low budget. but i feel that there are enough people in my performance zone that the following would sell

affordable ic piping, a kit for lower pipes, a different kit for top. and 1 kit for both. someone else on the site is selling the lower mendrel bent pipe w/ couplers already painted black. if you could manage it to be $200 or less for the kit im SURE it'd be a hot item. colors would add to it but thats your decision

ddp, keep it goin,

perhaps metal accordian hose with all hose connections and the possiblity of using with or without an afm.

something to help out with our poor cornering ability.

finish it yourself exhaust pipes that offer variablity in muffler choices. get as far as the muffler and we could just put OUR choice muffler on it cus theres simply too many combinations for you to pick one and expect everyone to like it.

brake kit, (mkIV)

if you really have the time and find the interest from other people a kit to eliminate the exterior tirim like you did so well.

[LexusTech117]

Just start making cool stuff, put it on your car, get some performance numbers, take pictures, then offer copies for sale.

[Red '88T]

2.75"Ø upper ic piping. Use transition hose from ic to pipe, through snorkle, to throttle body, with a choice of bov flg.

4"Ø intake pipe angled ~45° polished for bling factor. Include any tie-ins (ie: pcv) Pipe could be useful for those running larger turbos w/ VPC or the like.

[turbo4toy]

this might be a repeat but a metal accordian pipe replacement.........also i think all of the other ideas are awesome. Here are some i would buy if you made them.
MKIV brake kit upgrade
targa braces
erg block off plates
intercooler block off plate

[becauseican]

Alright, there are many good ideas here. I will start on them very soon, stay tuned for my new stuff !!!!

MK4 brake kit upgrade- I already tried it and my machinist who specializes in custom brakes said it wouldnt work very well with an adapter bracket. And I see that 935 made a nightpager replica kit and hasnt even sold 10 kits and they are pretty cheap.

Intercooler piping- in the works

FF intake- already being done by others, not going to happen.

Targa Bars- Yes, I just need to jig the ones I have for my car.

Cat back- yes

[xarewhyayen]

what will the targa bars be like? will they be the "defeats the purpose of having a targa" x-bars? or something more aesthetically pleasing? hopefully the latter of the two.. if so.. im in

[SP 7M]

I'd be down for some targa bars, all though not right away.

I'm also excited to see what you've got in store for a cat-back. I'll have to get another system some day when my Blitz system gets nasty looking.

Any possibility of making sway bars and strut tower bars?

[Eric_Odie]

not sure if this was mentioned, too many pages to read, sorry, but i was thinking maybe a 3.5" Downpipe, test pipe, and Cat back that copies teh Greddy DD the one with the dual tips.

[becauseican]

The Targa bar are not the X type. Mine are two seperate bars that just go from the back to the top of the windshield. I use 1" round DOM tubing with a 1/8" thick wall. I could go with a little bigger pipe too. I willpost up some pics soon.

[supraman7mgte]

how about rear harness bars? they have 'em for the MK4,but not us!!

[becauseican]

Ok well I will be starting some new projects in January, I will have a stock mk3 turbo in my shop for a while so I can use it for parts prototyping. Look for some of these parts coming out soon. I have some parts in mind that have never been offered for the mk3 before!!

[tlo86]

i like the targa bars, if its on while the targa is on... sick of turning and hearing " creeeaaakkk "

that do-luck style bar i mentioned before would be nice as well :)

[Loki]

Can't wait to see what you bring out Randy :bigthumb:

[empera]

nice....
so how about some egr block off plates? since jbl is gone :(
could u also do a alternator relocation bracket for the FFIM?(lower runner style) hehe

[Loki]

Check with MDC, he picked up JBL's products.

[supra90turbo]

brake master cylinder brace

[gixxer750]

ISC Block off plate, CSI block off plate, FFIM, Nicer looking radiator hold downs, ALT drop down bracket, BMC brace....

just some ideas....thats all for now

i agree with those radiator holder things (TSRM Name :P), i had seen shiney ones that cost way more than they should...

[becauseican]

How much would you guys be willing to pay for these?, I was thinking of maybe something in stainless steel.

[supra_stephe]

rad. tie down plates and a moroso style oil pan would be cool.


for the plates, they would just need to be cnc machined out of Aluminum or even a high temp plastic in a lazer cutter, or just use a 3d printer and print them outta pvc. to whip them out with. so like 30-50 dollars

[tlo86]

i wouldnt pay more than what i can buy a new radiator for :P i am honostly unsure on how realistic a price would be... i just think 50 - 60$ each is high..

[supra_stephe]

or pair, and where are you buying new rad.s for $50???

[tlo86]

used, new ones for 80 - 120 ish on ebay :P Quality pending until i get mine

[becauseican]

I willl make a set of rad brackets for my car soon and see how they turn out, then I will post pics.

And I believe they are making some for the MKIII.

[tlo86]

thats where i saw them before... yup cost more than my radiator...

[supra8903]

so you talked about the ma80 front brake adapters about 7 months ago, so are they still in the making or are they never going to be for sale. Im really interested in getting a pair.

No that didnt work out. The machinist that was going to do it recomended against it. He said you would have had to grind some of the caliper to get it to fit and all the work of machining the brackets to mount the heavy mk4 calipers. I think he is looking into making a Brembo kit which would be alot better than a mk4 kit. This guy specializes in custom brake kits.

[becauseican]

Well I will now be selling adustable sway bar end links for the mk3. I have had mine on my car for about three years now and had no issues at all with them. They are made with high strength grade 8 parts and Cadium plated for corrosion resistance. I also developed a weld on reinforcement tab to prevent breaking of the stock rear lower endlink mount. Pics and price info will be up later this week.

Targa bars are next on my list.

[tlo86]

cant wait for those bars

[lilazni3uoy]

anything on the targa bars!

[devil358]

I tried reading through this whole thread....and I was just wondering...are there any updates on the 3" y-pipe / dp setup for a 1JZ? are you still gonna make it? I think you're running an excellent company and it's always wonderful to see someone supporting the MK3 world!

935 Motorsports just stopped selling the 1J ypipe and DP combo because of fitment issues....and I am just a little nervous about the $300 kits on ebay that are coming from australia. I just don't trust it. Especially with fitment. I may be wrong, but I know that BIC has a much better reputation than ebay ;-)

lol

but yeah, some input on that would be great

[becauseican]

Sorry for the slow progress on the new parts. Scince I moved into my new shop I have been flooded with local Supras to work on. And right now its only myself doing all the fabrication, welding, R&D work, office work, shipping , emails and everything else.

The Targa bars are comming. I have had the protoypes on my car for about a year and a half. I just need to find the time to Jig them and replicate.

I will not be making a 1jz Y pipe/ midpipe. I actually helped make the original one with Turbo Drifter that Trevor had bought and copied in China. The biggest reason why it doesnt fit id because I had originally made it with 2.5" piping, and the fit was very snug. I think Trevor had it made with 2.75" pipe, and now it wont fit. I will however be making a standard 3" downpipe for the 1JZ that will bolt to the stock Y pipe/ elbow.

A well priced 3.5" mild steel catback will be done soon, it should be ready to go in the spring.

I may need to make a trip down to your shop once that comes out, I wanna go 3.5" on my car and this might work out better for me :)

[devil358]

this may stray off topic a bit, but since BIC isn't going to making a high-flow Y-pipe, then is there anyone left that makes a decent one? I hear stories of many of them that don't fit....any suggestions?

[88MK3]

t4 adaptors would be nice

[supraguru05]

oil pans with baffles and wings like the turbo a pans.

like we would send you our pan and you would modify it

[Orion ZyGarian]

Even better...an oil pan for a 7M that can fit in a stock Miata...

[SupraOfDoom]

more videos of your car ...

[becauseican]

T3 and t4 adapters for the stock manifolds will be comming soon, and more videos too, once I get my rear suspension all done it will be on the road again.

[V8 Rapist]

hey u should make a turbo inlet intake that u can hide the afm in,just an idea i was thinking about,would be cool

[Red7m]

Let me see things I would like to see made for the MK3.

Bolt in roll cages.
4-point
6-point
and 8 point.

Rear suspension peices.
Traction rods
Control arm
Adjustable trailing arms
Adjustable sway bars & end links
Basically everything for the rear supension.

Other things.
Id like a Trangular strut tower brace (that I dont have to remove the TEMS)
A Good DriveShaft loop.

Instead of t3-t4 adapters I would love to see a turbular Exhaust manifold in the $500-700 range if possible. (the only cheap options are the ssautocrome/xspower and the megan racing).

[SP 7M]

Do you have anything further on the possibility of releasing a larger (3.5-4") cat-back exhaust system?

[becauseican]

The 3.5" cat back is in the works. I should have it done soon, in the next two weeks.

[Loki]

The 3.5" cat back is in the works. I should have it done soon, in the next two weeks.


Any idea on price yet Randy?

[SP 7M]

Can you please give us some details? SS piping? CHP-friendly sound level? Don't feel limited to my questions.

I think I may very well be looking to buy your cat-back system if it meets my style, noise and corrosion resistance "requirements." My Blitz system will probably be corroded to the point of needing to be replaced in the next year or so. I also don't want to have to run the silencer to keep the noise down. That will make it too quiet for me and it restricts the flow too much.

My favorite muffler style is the Apex GT Spec (hint, hint!) sitting at an upward and outward angle, by the way. ;)

[becauseican]

I am trying to keep the cost down on the 3.5" cat back, so it will be made from 3.5" Aluminized Mild steel (standard exhaust piping), mandrel bent, with a single round Magnaflow muffler, angled at the rear. I will have the option of a second inline resonator/ muffler to help keep the sound levels down. The single muffler system is loud, if you want a quiet exhaust this is not for you. It has a very deep mellow tone. It will obviously be quieter with the resonator installed, and I might offer a silencer that will bolt into the muffler tip to really quiet it down. Again I am not sure of the final price but should fall in the $550-650 price range. I could also make it from 304 stainless steel but at an extra cost.

[audioman81]

any word on the targa bars yet? I am soooo interested in that

[SP 7M]

Randy-I'd definitely pay the extra cost for SS piping if you did offer than option.

I know that this may be an unwelcome question, but if I bought the muffler that I wanted to use and sent it to you, could you "slap" that on there for me?

If I can get somthing that is at or below 100 decibels at 3K RPM then I'll be satisfied and take my chances driving in CA.

[Loki]

I know that this may be an unwelcome question, but if I bought the muffler that I wanted to use and sent it to you, could you "slap" that on there for me?.


I'm kind of wondering this as well, I already have the muffler picked out that I want. So would it be possible to do this? or maybe get it without the muffler? however it will be you can count me in for one when they are ready to be sold. I may even take a trip down there to pick it up and get it installed ;)

[SP 7M]

I really wish that Apex just offered a GT Spec muffler by itself with the 95mm inlet. Nothing looks better.

So if you do offer SS piping, Randy, will it be highly-polished?

[Illusive MA70]

any Suspension or chassis reinforcement that the heavy MK3 could benefit from, I autocross my car so anything thats not already out there I would be willing to buy. under body bracing etc.

[abustiffy]

If you can get flanges cut at a reasonable price, I need a 1jzgte header flange.

I will probably work on one of these over the summer, I also have some chassis/ suspension part ideas, but one thing at a time, the 3.5" cat back is next on the development list.

[xarewhyayen]

yay for exhaust. Maybe since you incorporated the elbow into ur dp u could incorporate a nice highflow cat into ur catback. Just an idea, if you could make it affordable that is.

don't know if this was suggested here, but i remember the forum having a conversation about this --->

And this is probably dumb - but that's never stopped me before - how 'bout an upper AND lower radiator hardpipe kit?

Thats called made to order ;)

What about Oil Pans? Something similair to a GroupA pan. No one makes better oil pans for are cars, which is weird seeing as how our oil system is a weak link.

test pipe with built-in flex.

test pipe with built-in flex.


Like Jayhall said " made to order", I can make one of those, just add $25 to the price of a Test pipe and you got it. $85+ shipping.


Ok there is allot of good ideas here, I will try to get on some of those one by one. Stay tuned.

Wow, thats some hotness if I ever saw it.

I suggest setting up a locked thread on here with custom things you can do with your products (like flex section) and add the extra price that they will cost: like, DDP w/flex section add 25.00, DDP with 3.5" 2 bolt flange xx.xx dollars. Sound like a good idea?

[Doward]

Any word on some subframe connectors?

I am looking for 3.5" inlet muffler. I havent found anything bigger than 3" from Apexi or hks. Do you sell or build these?

Magnaflow has a good selection of larger inlet mufflers they are full stainless steel, and straight through just like any of the "name brand" mufflers, exept for some JDM mufflers that have an inner silencer tube that necks down to 2.5"-3". I use a 3.5" inlet magnaflow on my BIC thunder cat back systems, the sound great and will last forever with a lifetime warrantee. I can sell you one if you like, the price is $130 + shipping.

All I need is time right now, I have the prototypes done now ( well for two years now) that I use on my car in the summers. I just need to get a few projects done first like project cherry widebody, and get my own car running again and on the road. I do promise that they will be available this spring/ summer.
