Aftermarket Porsche wish list

I thought it would be interesting to start a thread for aftermarket Porsche tools and parts we wish we had.

I'll start this off with my wish list:

1) A ratchet that will reach to turn the crankshaft pulley

2) Carbon fiber airbox for EFI applications

You mean stuff that is available or stuff that you wish some one would make?

I would like the entire catalogs from:

Elephant racing
Rebel Racing
Zuffenhouse

probably a few others :-)

How about a remotely activated electric latch for that lower front corner of the air box?

I have a complete suspension upgrade consisting of elephant and rebel bits sitting on the shelf in my garage. I'm ok there.

I'd love to have a 3.5 built by Rothsport Racing along with a close ratio gear box equipped with a guard lsd.

This isn't too much to ask for? Is it?

I'd like to find a hard top for my 86 cab to use in lieu of the soft top and not pay the Porsche tax.

I agree. Id like to add to this. They should be dark gray and translucent so you can see through them. My Uncle Gene had a Nash of some kind, about 1955, and it had translucent green sun visors.

Luv the idea. You could even incorporate it into a roll bar.

Someone should make these...
