I was recently given the opportunity to develope content for a performance site dealing in F-body's. The prices with be competetive on everything from superchargers to bushings but we need your feedback to build a site that is well rounded and suited to your performance needs. Please give a list of what parts you want or that would want a performance site to carry because we are are going beat alot of people's prices on quite a bit of things and have access to tons of dealers.

subframe connectors for verts

Superchargers, turbos, Throttle Bodies, TPI accesories, fuel injectors, etc....

complete suspension rebuilds (poly), complete steering rebuilds, possibly rack and pinion with k-members, gears, good prices on LSD's. Motor/tranny/axle rebuild kits.

I second on the steering rebuild kits. Also exhaust and wheels/tires might be nice

Better quality headliners and sail panels than everywhere else.

headers, AC compressors, good quality seat covers, any shifter other than a mega shifter, drum brake parts, detailing supplies, TPI parts

how about total engine swap kits for LT1 and LS motors, and what everyone else suggested

sub frame connectors, and more interior and replacment parts, maybe some new interior designs and gauge panels!

T-top weatherstripping
T-top bags
fiberglass hoods and fender
seat covers

Through not performance oriented, I'd like to see custom/alum gas door fillers.

JamesC

Fuel injection Conversions, TBI to TPI, or Carb to TPI, Multipoint etc. Wheels Tires, and everything else previously listed.

Wow everything so far is very doable but is there brand specific or would a little bit of everything work, like we have deals with procharger, weiland, and vortech so would you like to see all 3 on there?

if you can price match or do better than other suppliers, then that probably would be a good thing.

I don't know if your facility can accomodate the idea, but maybe used parts? Or at least direct swap/custom swap things like 4th gen dashs, gauges, axles, seats. And as mentioned before, LSx and LTx swap parts. Just an idea.

t-top seals, not the crap OER ones, interior parts like the A-pilars and seatbelt trims that pop into the ceiling ( can you tell the things i need to replace? lol) and lastly, T5 PARTS! lol i hate having to go through sites i know nothing about for an overhaul kit especially when they run setups for mustangs, jeeps, camaros etc, just fbody is all i need

Well, that pretty much covers it. Let us know when this site is up and running. Sounds like a sweet deal.

Yea put together entire motor swaps motor and everything for lt1s and ls's like motor and everything taht would be ba and all for like 2 dollers

Crate motors; long blocks w/a choice of induction options, sheet metal, scooped hoods,interior upgrades,n.o.s. quality t-tops,and suspension upgrade/rebuild packages. Also gas tank and line packages to go from TBI/TPI to a carb application.And whatever else.......

How about everything to make a brand new thirdgen? Just kidding. Since we can get alot of NOS parts or very good used ones, I think you should stick with upgrades like suspension, drivetrain, or aftermarket body parts.

Something else comes to mind: 16 x 9 or 16 x 9.5 inch IROC wheels.

JamesC

or 17x9.5 I dont understand why nobody makes the iroc replicas in anything wider than 8" it angers me everday

Well I can only get the american racing iroc wheels and yea there only 8 wide wish I could get them larger. But since I have been getting all the feedback I have been going through all the products and pulling everything into one pile that will fit f-bodys and then organizing and getting prices from other sites. You would be suprised at all the companys we do business with and the book I have to pull from has over 1100 pages and I still need to contact manufacturers as to availabillity and if they want to deal with us. But keep them coming because I would like to make a one stop performance site for you guys and the more feedback the better.

Exert some influence as a seller/distributor. I wonder how many "pre-orders" would be required for American Racing to show some interest.

JamesC

???

I agree if I could get some in 17x9.5 I would prepay today single or double line

GAS Tanks, Fuel pumps, injectors, and proms.... burnable on site....
wow, pretty much all bolt on stuff, suspension and definately interior and weatherstripping...
WILL THERE BE A STORE TO COME INTO AND WALK AROUND AND TALK TO REPS?? I live in Sebring, FL and i would drive in a heartbeat for parts...

well there is sorta a store already and its http://speedandtruckworld.com/ but this is going to be a website built just for f-bodys but you could just walk into one of there stores and order stuff. They are a good company and the people I deal with are just awsome and the owner of the altamonte store is the mastermind to all of this. Getting your feedback and building a site for the people, by the people.

possibly carry some reupholstering kits, 82-02 seats, leather, and cloth. If you need to know what you talking about, classic industries has the kits. I plan on going to leather one day for my 4th Gen. seats.
----------
o and also...here's one. I know this is hit and miss for interest...but going along with reupholstering...carpeting to replace the kick panels, center console, and rear compartment, to replace the "deluxe" carpeted interiors. I'm going to need carpeting to re-do the interior on my Berlinetta one of these days.

a complete carb to tpi swap kit like wiring harness runners plenum the whole nine yards to change a carbed motor to a tuned port motor and also MAKE IT CANADIAN FRIENDLY!!!! how many times have i found exactly what im lookin for online only to find out that the site dont ship to canada or makes me run around in circles with all this extra crap just to ship it here and most recently dont accept canadian pay-pal

Well as far as the stock tpi I havn't found much but we do carry the BBK TPI intake and we do have dealings with painless and they make wiring harnesses for our cars. And as for Canada I will have to ask because I wouldn't see much of a reason why not, if you pay the god awful shipping you should be able to get it. I had to order a full set of control arms and performance sway bars from BC and ship them to FL and the shipping almost match the price of the parts (this was for my vega).

So when do we get a link? or post a price/parts list for us to call in some orders....

18'x 9" (or 9.5") crosslace wheels......

Lots of interest already out there....
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/su...nd-vendor.html

I second the motion for 18 x 9.5 crosslace wheels

Repair parts that are harder to find would nice. Things like floor pans, dash kits, and bumper covers. Hoods besides cowl induction would be nice. Half the time, all I can find are OEM style or cowl induction. Most vendor's idea of choice for hoods is 3",4",or 6".

now that you mention it nobosy and i mean nobody makes replacment rear inner wheel wells for these cars the only reason i got mine was old gm stock that was never sold and they cost me over 250 each

Are you talking about the inner fender or the plastic pieces in the front fenders. If it is the plastic pieces Classic Industries carries them for $68.99 a piece. They call them Inner Fender Stone Shields part #G4001 & G4002. By the price you have I am guessing you are talking about the inner fender itself.

I have personally have been looking for the brace that you mount the spare tire to.

Bot-on/easy-to-install V6 turbo kit that doesn't have me taking out my AC.

I think you should focus on interior parts. Specifically parts that are not being made by anyone anymore. ac vents? possible even a whole dash?

I agree,
they really arent and i'm in really big need of alot of interior. its hard to find good condition interior for cheap

I'll go with the complete plug and play LT1 and LSX engine swap kit.

dashboard , Tbi Throttle Bodys

yes the inner fender wells on the rear thats welded to the hump i dont think the spare tire brace came with em however most of the sail panels came with them right up to where the speaker hole is

I dont know it it was mentioned but id like to see some door hinge kits for sure.

dash pads!

I would like to see a good selection of chassis/suspension parts, interior and exterior parts. I too would like to see the 16 or 17 by 9.5 Iroc rims. And being one of the guys putting an LT1 into a third gen, I would really like to see a good grouping of LT1 parts available in one place, gets annoying chasing from site to site. I like to find one source and buy everything from that one place. Keep us posted!

Performance Transmission upgrades TKO - 500 -TKO 600 set up for chevy not f**d T-56 transmissions and upgrades rebuid parts for them and full install kits crossmembers,clutches flywheels etc

Spoilers and the bumpers for firebirds that don't cost $400 each lol.

Oh and have good customer service and fast shipping lol

Yeah, strong customer service is a must. There are too many places that would be great if it weren't for extremely lousy customer service.

Steering rebuild kits, fibreglass aerowings.

On customer service, if you need to get something in from a manufacturer, email the customer and let them know. I don't care when something is out of stock and will take two weeks, so long as it's coming. It reflects poorly on some otherwise good sites when after a couple of weeks nothings been shipped, they haven't emailed you and you have no idea what's happening, so you have to start emailing/calling.

Well organized TBI section

and just a well put together site, some sites ive been on just dont seem as well put together as they could be
