An auto to manual conversion kit.

Like the short ram intake, takes the place of the air box. They want 200 bucks, and your paying for a piece of sheet metal with holes in it.

Thought of some more.

A bracket for mounting MSD coils, since they require custom mounting.

A catch can with hardware and mounting points included and directions how to install. A lot of people want to install catch cans but don't know exactly where they install and where/how to mount them.

Battery relocation bracket. A bracket and directions so you can mount the battery sideways, which opens up a lot of space in that area (requires a smaller battery, but has been done).

Custom metal piping from point of air entry to air box/heat shield to replace plastic accordion like tube.

That's it for now.

When you start molding plastic, a clip on spoiler that can be installed on the bottom of the turbo spoiler that will give it the R spoiler look. The 960 had a clip on piece that is standard and dark grey.

Just imagine a clip on piece that will pop off instead of break like the current one does... Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, Heaven has come to earth once again. :-)

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A CLEAR AND PRECISE VIDEO AND/OR MANUAL ON WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR ANCIENT POS 850 THAT HAS BEEN RUNNING PERFECTLY SUDDENLY WILL NOT START.

The 'no start' phenomenom threads seem to be very frequent on this web site. This critical problem is not addressed sufficiently for noobs. I see a lot of guys posting "car won't start" only to be ignored and buried under piles of relatively unimportant and non-critical threads. Their threads should remain at the top until the problem is resolved.

I have spoken. LOL
