What Aftermarket parts would you like to see for the FT86/FRS

[chopstickz]

18" wheels would be perfect for this car. But I would love to see some sort of vtec alvs? For this motor. I think I read somewhere that it didn't come with it

[KaliKev]

I will be creating a parts company for this car as well!

I did a few projects, including clear intake covers for the FJ and it was just an awesome time.

There are about a dozen or two people who have created full time business off FJ parts.

Simple metal and plastic parts that can be machined, laser cut, or molded is what I will be getting into. Nothing too sophisticated...

If i'll try to turbo this car i'd like to see a forged, ceramic coated low comp pistons w/ a matching con rods to start

[yarik83]

Here is my wanted list for any car really:
1) 100% fit subwoofer box that does not slide all over the place and retains functionality of trunk.
2) 100% cross and strut bars that do not interfere with comfort inside vehicle
3) 100% compatible wire harness kits for various uses
4) 100% fit front grill kits
5) Anti-theft kill switch operated by proximity (ie car requires key AND something else like a inconspicuous RF chip bracelet/ring/chain/other thing that fits in pocket.
6) Low powered electric drive system for the vehicle. To be operated in heavy traffic or when pulling out of parking lot at 7 in the morning so not to disturb neighbors. Propels car like 1 mile per hour, does not weight a lot but works and is rechargable while driving normally.
7)100% fit FMIC setup With 100% fit blow off valve that does not impede engine operations or hood from slamming into it or vibrating against anything in engine compartment.

Assuming that toyota/subaru will charge high amounts for oem HID's or that they avoid them all together to save on costs, I think it would be cool to have an aftermarket headlight housing that comes pre-spec'd and with all of the necessary mounting hardware and holes pre-cut and prepared for a retrofit. It would be an empty shell where the buyer can add his or her favorite pair of projectors.


I think it would be cool to not have to do anything but screw on a pair of bixenon fx-r HID's to a housing that they were designed for and seal them up.

I have designed some wheels in the past but I havent ever looked into the manufacturing side of it.

I dont plan on doing a huge array of parts because its hard to maintain quality.

At this point I am just trying to gauge interest as to maybe where I should start doing some research.

I am currently trying to have my old laptop restored (It was destroyed) that had alot of my 3d modeling work on it.

But if I get some ideas I can make up some rough ideas although obviously dimensioning will not be accurate.

Can you do CF or have access to titanium? Depending on what you can make, I would interested in small miscellaneous oem pieces but would have to wait until the actual car is here.

Two words:

lol jk, maybe an exhaust, lower it, and a lip or something.

Wheels
Tint (does this count as aftermarket? LOL)

Bunch of other stuff I have in mind but... not solid enough to write here yet. :<

wow same for me... and when i take this car out of the dealership, i will put the rear seats down so it looks like it is only 2 seats. I hope it works lol. I dont like giving people lifts so they can be seen in a sexy car.

[JDM-dono]

depends how the car feels after I drive it. Though planning to get:

- titanium exhaust
- air pod intake
- CE28ns
- CF front lip
- CF rear diffuser
- CF rear lip spoiler
- ganandor mirrors? maybe...

nothing too crazy... if the seats grow on me then stock seats but otherwise I'd get bride stradias

Won't happen, not enough room along side the motor.

CNC some lightweight nonunderdriven pullies

Possibly already available?
