What products would you like to be able to buy for your Mini?
Turbo Mini Forums

Its a bit of market research guys.

I'd like to add to my product line. I've got access to good CNC machinists and an amazing Fabricator. With this in mind what would you like to see available?

Any thoughts would be good.

Any specific aspect you got in mind?

I'd like to see more affordable rear disc brake setups perhaps.

Also, not sure if they are on the market, but i've not seen them, is the Migilia style bulkhead boxes? If a box was produced like say, weber and turbo bulkhead boxes, I think alot more people would do it? I know I would, but having limited tools and the car being a driveway project, i'd much rather just buy a ready to weld in one!!
Same goes for maybe the material for tubbing rear arches, pre shaped material ready to weld in?

Lightweight pedal boxes? I know you can buy them from car building sites, but a mini specific one might be quite desireable?

OH! A kit to convert gear linkages inside the car, KAD have a kit but at £200 it certainly scares me off.

I know some of the ideas are a bit of a long shot but hey ho!

deffinatly a mc donalds large drink holder , a new manifold for the t3, some fancy exhaust which is diffrent to the rest of the stuff arround. but an internal gearlinkage at a good price is the no 1

G17 manifold and downpipe seconded.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

well designed and built manifolds to mount the turbo by the side/ above the clutch and mate up to a standard exhaust system please :)!!

Yes i moved to the darkside

Instagram @jdm_brett

side mount turbo would be cool

A brake twin master cylinder bias box without the KAD gold plate price tag

i second the rear brake setup.

Rear arms that you can bolt with brakets directly to the heal board.

ally block......

Got to admit i have thought about a nice internal gear linkage made using rod ends like most race cars. Only slight problem is how to provide a reverse lock out. How much is the KAD unit? What price would i need to sell at to make it attractive?

How much for a rear disk setup?

Some well priced alloy front hubs. With these and most of the above ideas they are available, but sold in such small numbers they are expensive.
