You know how when you think of "how lucky someone must be to have that opportunity"? That was me for the people in the machine class at my school. You know they can make anything that they want to for anything. Now i am able to get to that class and now i cant think of anything that would require machining.....i already made a new alumiuminum shift knob and engraved it myself...but now i dont know anymore. Any suggestions would be cool but i was really wanting stuff to do for the car.... i just dont know now...:no:

make a matching e brake handle, or make a custom exhaust if you think you can. or if your really good make a TURBOOOO or at least the parts of it that you would need

Short shifter!

That's what I was going to say! Also, if you can make them for under $8ish cost, you could make adapters for Accords and Preludes. They sell on Ebay for $18 + S&H for generics.

Get a penis ring made. And have it engraved:
JJ owns joo!


Or the short shifter idea was a good one.

Dash mount brackets to fit the GSR dash into a 92-95 civic...

Strut bars.

Solid motor mounts.

Turbo adapter plates for hf manifold-whatever turbo flange.

seat brackets.

LOTS of bracing bars... like from the lower seat belt mounts to other one. Stut towers (again) if you can sway bars... a shifter (the rod itself to shorten throws and place where YOU want it to sit)

then you could do little lame stuff like radiator brackets and other misc under-hood brackets (for dress up).

there's lots of things you could make... I'm sure I'll post more later.

I like the shortshifter idea and ebrake handle. oh you can make some kind of metal bat for protection:doh:

hood pins, pedals, spoiler/wing, crossdrilled rotors, flywheel :yes:

Just start trying to make performance parts like a CAI or an exhaust and see if it works well or not.
