Default What do YOU want made?

Well guys I now have access to several CNC machines, and we'd like to make some cool parts for us RS guys in our time off. So let us know what you would want made?
So far Im thinking, the Oil Feed tube and/or cap, with EJ25 written on it?
And also a Brake fluid cap?
What else?
Pullies? Non Underdrive?
Anything inside the car?

shoot Us some ideas, Ive got alot myself but want to see if theyre worth making...

I think the oil cap sounds like a good idea, but I don't have an EJ25 and EJ18 just doesn't sound as cool...maybe make one that says Subaru, Impreza, or GC8 or something like that? The brake fluid cap sounds cool also, but would you make a whole new cap or just a cover or what?

Lightbulb Custom CNC parts

How about cheaper alternatives for swaybar endlinks and shifter handles?

Probably just a new cap on the brake fluid
I can have many things machined into the caps, just have to be able to sell them in batches (no point in machining a one off, unless its something real special for myself )

as for suspension, Im thinking that we should start with the little stuff first, then maybe start that. And theres already a market for shift knobs, unless someone has some crazy idea for one?

The only thing I would be concerned about with the brake fluid cap is it sealing properly.

Just checked it out, its sooo easy, just a little rubber seal that sits under the cap, it can transfer to the new ones...

does your 1.8 have the same setup as an RS? Got a pic of your engine bay?

I think it's the same, but here is a link to underhood pics if you want to see for yourself:

How about some black guage surrounds that will fit standard size guages and fit into the stock guage housing. I'm not sure if it'll work, but if you're looking for something to do...

how about a cover or some sort that fits in front of the shifter. that little area that is right underneath the ashtray. i use that little area to put my cell phone, and the phone has been scratching it pretty good. i know a shop was gonna make it, but i guess that never happened.
