1) Uprights that fix the problematic suspension geometry of the evo when its lowered
2) Rear trailing arms that allow wider wheels/tires without rubbing
3) Front and rear subframes
4) Oiling solutions for evos being tracked. either wet or dry sump
5) Oil coolers for engine and transmission

"4) Oiling solutions for evos being tracked. either wet or dry sump"

we did have a dry sump kit back in the day... are should we bring it back ? It was a very affordable set up, my only concern is the fact that it takes a very dedicated enthusiast to commit to a DS kit. I appreciate your input sir! Thank you so much.

That transmission cooler is a great idea. Just build a billet piece to bolt up to the tranny window where we can supply cooled oil to gears 3 & 4.

MAP, if you make this I'll buy one of the early versions in a heartbeat. Especially now that I may be swapping to the 6 speed!

Another vote here for a reasonably priced, easy to install/remove front undertray. Something that uses those push lock button things like the bumper quick release kits (I hate plastic clips!). Also, turbo kits that use a garrett g series in reverse rotation to allow for better manifold designs in stock location. Develop a gear set for us 6 speed guys that doesn't cost an arm and leg. Subframes, strut tower bars, other chassis stiffening

TRE makes this exact piece. Ive had mine for a few years now and its a very nice unit. Check it out:
https://professionalawesome.com/prod...adapter-plate/

However, a proper trans cooler package with pump cooler lines fittings etc would be pretty cool.

MAP already offers a great oil cooler kit using a Setrab core. The provided mounting brackets require a few tweaks to fit properly but overall its a pretty nice setup and was able to get it for less than it would have cost me to buy the core and lines and fittings.

In regards to the dry sump, I do agree it might not be a big seller because in reality a DS is not for everyone. But to the folks that are truly interested and have a need another option on the market would be beneficial as long as its proven and the price point makes sense to purchase it over another kit.

I killed my last motor from oil starvation and I hope to not go down that road again. Ultimately, decided combination of the Racefab pan 3qt Accusump windage tray ER oil pump gear and a few other tricks that hopefully I can get away without going DS but time will tell.
