As the title really, what products, group buys or services would you like H Dev to offer in the future?
Something that a few of us have been after are custom centre consoles, so we can mount AVCR, SAFC2 etc under stereo.
Am thinking I'll have to bodge one myself out of MDF or something, but when ever these are mentioned in ICE, now interior, there is a lot of interest.

stage 1 14a chips? seems to be a fair bit of intrest for those?
Not sure how ambitious or otherwise you are talking,
(and prob not the type of thing youre thinking of),
but Ive often thought that if some one could provide a complete/cost effective 'weight reduction kit' (the mod that improves speed, braking, handling, fuel consumption, all at same time!), consisting of say fibre glass replacements for all panels, doors, door cards, full dash, and lexan windows, (customers could buy the lot or buy in stages), it would likely be very popular,
excellent for either stripped racers or road cars

stage 2 upgrade and 555's package would be nice
Stages of track mods? Lots of folk want to get on a track session with standard cars.
CA18 waterpump, alternator and PAS aluminium pulley kits I reckon there is a niche in the market for them, how many people have nice engines and rubbish-looking standard pulleys?!
I've got an SR20 kit here and I reckon the PAS and alternator pulleys are fairly similar to the CA18 pulleys, haven't measured the offset or tried to swap them over yet but they do look very similar.
SR20 waterpump pulley won't fit without longer studs and a spacer (holes are in the wrong place too) it would be overdriven a bit too... I know most suppliers offer a PAS belt that is 10mm too long anyway
No reason why we couldn't have a slightly underdriven alternator pulley, maybe the same for the PAS pulley too if they need developing from scratch?
Maybe people could pay you a deposit to make development costs easier to manage...
Maybe do a thread with a vote to see who would like a kit and see what prices people are willing to pay?

CA18DET exhaust cam in the inlet side retarded one tooth and remapped - a package price for that would be good with or without cam supplied.
The idea has just started to take-off if someone shows good gains from it then I'm sure lots of people could be interested, I'm sure it would add some torque in the middle upwards and therefore power at the top end
I'm a willing Guinea Pig for a favourable price, had plenty of Dyno Dynamics dynamometer sessions to prove the current performance
Got another cam that looks more suitable too...
Stage 1 Chip and fitting - probably without other parts as most members already have air filter, walbro etc.
Looking at getting stage 1 in the next couple of months.
Suspension fitting and set up (suspension parts themselves too!) in fact all chassis stuff - including brakes too - whether through Dan or off the shelf expensive kits.
Gearbox rebuilds. I think with the price of os giken kits coming down recently there'll be a few from the south wanting them fitted who won't want to make a trip all the way to apt (me for one)
Spot on oh yes... fitting and set up of the Gikken kits from Apex..? Excellent idea..
Stage 2 chips too!!!
