Question What top 3 mods should RM Racing make?

Rm Racing is starting a rally division with the protege as one of the cars they will be making parts for. What are the top three things you would like to see offered for the Protege? They're willing to make anything non-internal... Pick good stuff, because whatever they do, they're going to prototype it on my car

My car is the test car for the cold air intake. They have fitted my car several times so far. This intake is awesom I hope they have it done before the show in Ventura. Just wait you will be suprised. It is very clean and also includes a hidden air scoop.

Low boost turbo (cheap kit everyone can afford and install).
n/a exhaust header
high-flow cat mid-section

Non-Internal?

If you mean bolt on stuff for the engine, I want to see a header and high flow cat. If you mean body/interior, I want to see another, better body kit available. The options we have currently are weak.

makaveli>>They'd be willing to do a turbo kit if that's what everyone wants. Their attitude is to make everything aftermarket for the P5 that most do-it-yourselfers could do with a little help. A turbo kit, I think, fits in that category...

Honestly, we have more than three turbo kits becoming available...it's be nice to have plenty but concentrate on something else.

I for one would buy a manifold with individual throttle bodies. The adjustable cam gears have been mentioned more than once. And I've seen a header (replaces primary cat) said more than once also.
