    Your ideas :-)

    Hi Guys

    Just to let you know I value my customers, and if anyone has any ideas on products that they would like to see me supply, then please post below and I can research them

    Also I am quite a big fan of group buys so if anyone has any group buys they would like me to sort out then please let me know it doesn't matter how small or large

    Many Thanks
    Dan

    Do you do bolt on spacer kits? Especially the types that come with extra rings to alter their range.

    Oh and longer wheel studs would be handy for use with the little 5mm spacers

    I'll have a look into the wheel spacers

    I can source the longer ford type of wheel studs (M12x1.5) or would you guys prefer to stick to original M12x1.25?

    Cheers

    I'd prefer to be consistent and stick to a 1.25 pitch

    Spacers and studs (stock pitch) are a good idea. And I reckon you should offer longer brake hoses as part of your kits (obviously would push the price up a bit, but I think they would be a good addition).

    Do already

    Anyhow spacers seems to be a good idea, I'll get some prices

    Also any preferences on sizes? 10mm, 15mm 20mm etc?

    Many Thanks

    Right I have hopefully found a supplier for longer wheel studs, just awaiting for more details

    I'm going to pop into my local precision engineering shop tomorrow and find out about them making the spacers

    30psi have you got an example of the mutilple ring spacers? No doubt I can get them done but I think they will add alot to the cost

    one more the the alloy spacers 25mm+ please

    the ones that are adjustable are a 15mm spacer that bolts on with new studs fitted into that spacer. you can the add more spacers onto this as you normally would upto anuther 15mm.

    Would that work though? as I can't see how you could bolt down a 15mm spacer with out the nuts/original studs protuding

    Ally cooling panels? How about decent brake cooling ducts? Seat rail conversions from something with a decent cheap bucket seat? Ally/steel undertrays? Semi-quick release arrangement for the front bumper?

    I have tons of ideas, but can't weld/fabricate for sh*t!

    Hi Bob

    I'll have a looksy chap, not sure about the cooling panels (as I believe someone already does these at a decent price) and the bucket seat rails could be a right ball aches

    I'll deffo have a look at the brake ducts and undertrays though

    I spoke to a trader about allumium undertray's for use with FMIC a little while back but they wasn't interested and as I didn't have the metal fabrication tools, I couldn't make a prototype

    Would be good if they were developed though

    I really want your 315mm kit. I really do. But £180 is pushing the boat out way too far for me at the moment (House ). Can you give me an idea of what you could do on a GB with associated quantities?

    Would be good to try and do some adjustable dampers similar to AGX's but for a better price.

    You really wont get them much cheaper My own 320mm conversion cost me £200 and that was getting the discs for only £45 when you take into account getting the discs re drilled, spigots made, brackets made and hardware supplied £180 is a blinding deal Especially when you look at the price of the alternatives

    But know how you feel, i'm looking at a house at the moment so no more toys for me for a while

    You're right Mark, those prices are probably cheaper than Nissan's prices for standard items.

    PS, Houses are boring, spend more on your car
