I normally don't make much sense. I am horrible at english, but I know some of the small things.

I would like to see what an engineer thinks of the RX7 arms before anyone else bolts them to their car. As i recall there were a lot of unanswered questions about those arms.

Will be some time before I build any more as I'm knee deep in 928-LS kit production

I'll put them up against the crap cast arms any day.

Anyone done a thread regarding these RX-7 arms? Would love to know more.

Patrick, I cringe every time people misuse those words. Huge pet peeve of mine.

I'm sure I've seen someone try those Rx7 ones. Going off a recent pic of them, I thought they looked susceptible to breaking being a 2 part piece? That was a cursory glance in Mikey's suspension thread.

Would like to see simple bolt on replacement side skirts, suttle carbon fiber-ish look that angle outwards to keep from getting caught on the jack. And matching splitter / rear rubber wing replacement update.

I'd like to see a kit that adds a torquey 100 hp yet is invisible, even to those (competitors on track) that know 951's.
I also want a shoebox full of twentys from the tooth fairy.

How about a cheaper option for a TRS wing? For some reason, everyone thinks they must use CF and sell the damn things for $1500 for a full kit. The kicker is that the FG versions are usually only a couple hundred cheaper.

Now, sell a full kit (with 968 trim) for half that -- out of FG, then you're onto something...
