Hey all, this fall, (late Sept.) I'm going to be putting a lot of the products that I have been working on, up on the market. I want to guage the interest though, before I do so, because I can make one offs, but don't want to spend the money for a building and the extra equipment if I can't get enough sales to warrant it. Some of the things that I will be offering up are fiberglass body parts, (fenders, hoods, ect), Strut eliminator kits, rear coil kits, frame systems, and T-case kits. At the moment they are only for Gen II's, (body parts are for Gen I, II, and III), but will encompass the other Gen's if I get a shop to work on the R&D part of it. Also I have JUST started working on these, and may not be available till late 04, but FI kits for EA81's SPFI and MPFI, bolt on, plug in applications.

A lot of the stuff really ain't THAT cheap, example, a strut eliminator kit runs about $200 for standard, and up too $300 for long travel.

 

But, I know that several other people have tried to do the start a shop and sell stuff thing, and failed at it, so I don't want to stick my neck out too much on this, but if the interest is there, and it is genuine, then ya, I have no probs with it.

Anyone asking for stuff right now, no can do, I have a very busy schedule until Sept, I don't even have enough time to change the oil in my truck, let alone fill any orders. But anyways, thanks for hearing me out, would love to hear your ideas.

Adam Is there going to be snow-cones, or corndogs??? But cool if you need any help or anything you know where i live!

Damn glad to see you step up and start offering this stuff to the guys that want but can't make. I hearby offer you everything I have gratis, methods, plans, and we can work something out for engineering models if needed (ie: be patient with me to make them) so that you can reproduce my parts and mods along with yours. I am never going to be able to produce them so they are all yours to reproduce and sell.

Kewl, thanks. Ya there are a few things that I haven't actually come up with, or haven't had the time to work out yet. I've been working about 19-20 hour days for the last week, so I'm kinda tired and busy, but definatly want this stuff out there. One of the biggest complaints is that there isn't enough aftermarket supply for us Old-Gen guys, after hearing so many people talk about this, I've finally decided that in order for there to actually be aftermarket stuff, then people need to step out and do this.

I've actually got a lot of experience under my belt, I built hot-rods from the ground up when I was in highschool, learned how to glass, weld, body work the whole nine yards. I've been to college for computer design, electronics, and auto-science. I have about 3 years of Autocad, 4 months of 3D graphics animation design. (I built the prototype S.E.K in GMax, and plotted out all the movements and everthing and watch it work in motion on the computer!!). Plus loads of other experience that I am a little too tired to think of at the moment. Heck, even if people don't really shout out that they are interested right now, I'm sure once I have most of the final products made, pictures taken, and good website up, magzine ads (SubieSport?), and the like, that the support and interest will be there. So ya, keep an eye out, there will be loads of fresh new stuff coming the Subaru way in the next 6 months!!

One thing you might have to do, is engineer up some stuff for other makes of cars as well, like say, some off road accessories for pickups or something, that will get you going, but you can still do the Subaru stuff, but at the same time, advertise that you do this kind of stuff for Subarus as well, that way even if you don't sell too much Subie stuff, you won't go broke.
