Default I want to know what parts would the first gen owners like to see offered in a GB

I'm curious to get some feedback from the current first gen owners as to what parts would you like to see offered for our cars in a possible GB..Just name them off and lets see what the majority of the members want..List anything from aftermarket parts too factory parts like interior to replacement window trim that seems to go bad on our cars..Even turbo kits if thats one of the interest that you may have..Also list parts that you would be willing to purchase not a "wishlist"..

Headers, intakes, replacement parts such as cubholders, door moldings (the thing the causes wind noise), new leather, and JDM parts (rear garnish, strut tower bars, headlights).

We need a sway bar group buy. None made in the US? Well we need strength in #s to get a company involved and interested. I drift my GS on a regular basis both casually and in compettion and will be needing this next mod to keep refining the handling. Other than that.. I agree.. TEIN or other coilovers group buy. I have HKS Hiper D's but they are no where near stiff enough for competition.

Cmon guys.. speak up for the 1st gen crowd. There is strength in #s.

Or how about a Griffin radiator group buy. There is now one available for the 1st Gen due to a friend of mine sending his in for prototyping. I am a Griffin dealer and they are located a few hours from me in SC. I would be happy to help organize the buy. Nice bling bling aluminum radiator anyone?

johnee78,
In your experience what do you recommend for engine performance upgrades on the 1st Gen. Is the FMAX turbo bolt-on available for the 1st Gen the way to go or are there other alternatives? How much improvement does an intake make on a stock 1st gen?


Quick Reply: I want to know what parts would the first gen owners like to see offered
