What would it take to fab the top of the TGV housings with a V-band flange lip instead of the O-ring seal...as for custom intake manifolds apps. Id be very very interested in that.
Anything is possible, would just need to know the dimensions of the v band

The intake manifold is still a back burner dream right now, most likely will explore the idea further when i move to a FMIC setup.

But i will be machining a solid pitch stop in two versions, one is SOLID (NVH baby) and the other is similar but with delrin bushings and SS sleeves.

Still need to make a battery tie down for +5hp lol

I have been making some solid mounts for someone and thought i would share. So far i have made the pitch stop and motor mounts, soon i'll make a transmission mount. The motor mounts will have threaded studs installed after anodizing.

Although these parts are highly functional,
I would like to say they are Modern Art.
Send me some and i will display them free of charge at my gallery

Installed studs into the motor mounts to make sure there was enough thread when seated, these will be re installed after anodizing and locked in with thread lock.

Also made a new shift handle I love how it feels, just amazing! Thought the engraving was a nice touch.

I had to port my inner mounting holes to the intake manifold from my 2006 WRX to have it mate to a set of composite TGV deletes. I eventually went to a pair of OEM units that are PnP'd (had issues with the composite units) and had to use oversized washers for these now slotted inner mounting holes. Eh, no big deal.

Regardless, what else are you considering to manufacture? I too like to buy from small innovators such as your self.

Thanks man!

It was a collaboration idea with Fuji K from NF Performance (the shop i use here in Minneapolis).

I plan to make and sell everything pictured locally. Things that i still need to design: solid trans mount, hurst style shifter, battery tie down, SI Drive knob cover.

Do you have any ideas

Most of my ideas are for more motorsports type applications.

Maybe a little difficult but an adapter so you can use a push style clutch and a hydraulic slave cylinder for both 5MT and 6MT. If we could have the option of using a 5.5" push double or triple disc clutch pack with a hydro slave cylinder that would improve things for all racers 1/4 milers, road races etc etc. Roger Clark and Tilton have something over seas but nothing here for us in the US that's affordable.

Plus 1 for the 5MT and 6MT solid trans mount.

The only other thing I'd like to see is for all the suspensions arms and linkages F/R is sperihical (aka heim, rose joint, rod end etc) metal bearing inserts.
Thanks and keep up the awesome innovative work!

Just curious why you blasted the parts you anodized? Could they have been just anodized ? Does it adhere to it better ?

I own an audio company and that's what we do with everything. It looks great until oil or grease gets on it lol but it works well in a home environment. All the car parts in the future will just be sanded slightly and anodized for a smooth finish.

Good question

Would there be a benefit to making, for example, a transmission mount that has a urethane pad between an upper and lower half so that it's as solid as it can be without using a fully solid mount?

How about an oil-filler cap?

How about an oil-filler cap for a GrimmSpeed AOS?

Just throwing a few out there. What are your limits? Meaning, what are you not able to do?

BTW, I would really like a pair of your TGV's, but I'm on my second set: composite, which was replaced by a PnP set from GrimmSpeed.

The mean reason for making a trans mount is for my buddy and it's going on his drag car. It will not be very DD friendly lol A piece of UHW bolted between the top and bottom would act like urethane but its easier to machine.

I think the only difference between the 5mt and 6mt is the height, so i will add a shim that can be removed so many cars will work with it

An oil cap is a good idea!

Honestly, i think a space ship might be hard to make lol

Knuckles as in what the hub and bearing are pressed into (a/k/a: uprights).

If you make an oil cap, what about designing it to look like a gear?

A one-piece front strut-tower brace?

A subframe and/or other chassis bracing?

A multi-piece rear strut-tower brace that boxes in the towers?

I still want a pair of the TGV deletes. Mmmmmm.

Haha uprights not brass knuckles

I'll start with the trans mount and then move on to the next thing

Ahhh, I would love to snag that solid from you and make myself a TGV delete. And that shifter is bad ass. Let me know haha. Shame I don't use gibbs, but Mastercam.

That design stays with me

Not too long ago I was contacted by a company (they never said who they worked for) to lisencse and sell my design. No thanks!

I learned MasterCam in tech school but as soon as I got my current job (8 years ago) it was gibbs. They are both great programs to use.

Got my hands on 5mt and 6mt trans mounts. That should be easy to model up and make.
