I was wondering if you guys could help me?
If you could have anything cnc machined for your car with high quality what would it be?
suspension pieces,bov,wastegates,flanges,bushings,pulleys,any thing...

ummm, not sure what you mean. 'on the cheap' and anything 'cnc machined' are mutually exclusive.

lightweight pulley, shift knob, there are lots of cool things that could be machined i would not mind having. Is there going to be a cheap hookup coming soon?

cheap would mean you buy the material (not cheap) ;) and have access to a CNC machine (probably school or work?) ;)

but yeah flanges are great... Intake manifold flanges FTW!

5x100 hubs for ea82 rear spindles, 23 spline, to convert 4x140 to 5x100 on the ea series cars (model one after the xt6 hub)

will your machine cut carbon steel?

actually what i should a have said and what I really meant was discounted parts.



Imprez1- possibly.. and I am hope so.

blackparis- no I have a guy that has them in his garage and needs business

milesfox- yes it can cut carbon steel. don't know about hubs but if I saw enough interest later down the road definitely

here is what I was thinking....
I have been wanting to manufacture parts for a while and i know a guy that may just let me rent his machines out for use... so I thought id see what u guys would want made before I started making parts...

I was thinking something like camber plates that would be quality like dms and pricing that would be less then they charge.

Then i started thinking and I could make lateral links,end links, shifters,any bushing for sure... possibly some exotic things like custom reversed and not reversed intake manifolds... then I started to think why not throttle bodies.. or plenum spacers. and fuel rails and then started thinking i could make little odds and ends you guys may want that are useful..
I only want to make useful parts thats why suspension parts instanly came to my mind. Something I could have you guys test by thrashing around a rallyx , autox or road course. Give feedback and I could go from there...

So for now I'm thinking starting with adjustable rear lateral links and trailing link set, and camber plates for the Subaru's

so basically products similar to the ones below
