ROAD/RACE- New Product Suggestions

[KHCreason]

I second the Blinker suggestion! Clear would be nice, and a blacked out housing. But I'd do that myself anyway, just like the headlights. Also, as soon as I get my Kizashi, though I dunno when exactly that will be, I'll do a write-up on painting the headlights w/e color, such as black, or red. Its quite easy.

I guess the CVT is too crap for a turbo set up, the chain and belts won't hold the power. Is there anyway of strengthening them?

Also, I completely agree that the orange side markers on the bumper are dumb. They are HUGE! Lol I was just going to get them tinted.

I am already working on replacing those side markers. The second prototype should be in the end of this week. As long as it looks and works great ill start producing them.

Check out the sneak peak thread here.

300 mph was in a manual trans, the cvt may handle 4 pds of boost instead of 8 like you can get now

[metatrox]

any boost would be nice.

i'd like to see some sort of cvt strengthing/replacement

something to make the engine more responsive + cvt more responsive. (185 hp, 170 tq is plenty, just need to put it on the road)

factory type mesh grill without the S.

brushed aluminum exhaust surround instead of the chrome one

easy HID kit,

illuminated door sills,

maybe awd reprogram for bigger bias towards rear, in this case might need a stronger driveshaft as well

high flow cats

something to make the car look less cross-eyed when the lights are on at night?

custom kizashi only badges to replace the suzuki ones. (think genesis coupe wing badges) something exclusive for kizashi folks who want a little mystery to their car.

these are just some ideas, im sure you can make a business model out of them or something see how feasible they are.

I've gotten to drive the manual trans turbo from road race the red proto type one i work for a dealer in detroit area that car made it to all the magazines in the auto world very impressed wtih lack of turbo lag and power it had in process of 45 mph in 5th is fast as i got to go. in the process of taking new one and adding road race accessories to a new one

If I am thinking correctly, all that the CVT Kiz should need is a mod chip to fix the acceleration issue. The hp is there, it's just Suzuki chose to play it safe and regulate it so to not risk having to replace transmissions 2 or 3 years down the line. I would be very curious to see how the CVT would hold up without being regulated. I have a hunch it would last a lot longer than Suzuki thinks. If not, they should have never put it in there in the first place.

I love my car, but it bothers me that the only thing I dislike could have been easily avoided. There are times when that lack of initial response is downright dangerous.

I totally agree! Just yesterday I pulled out across traffic at an intersection and I was tensing up because the Kizzy just wouldn't go!! I was scared. Really wish it just had normal power in the start.
