Lmao, it doesn't get that cold in TX does it? . I've had a lot of people ask about it. I could make them but materials are not cheap.

Possibly a VE intake manifold that actually performs well? Lol .. or a 6spd swap shifter similar to the hybrid racing k series swap shifter for civics and integras would be nice ... im also gonna vote for the aftermarket seat brackets too lol ..for the 5spd'ers maybe a shifter similar to the ktuned B/D series shifter .. im out of ideas now lol

You could likely do without the thermostat if you setup a temperature controlled electric water pump.

A G20 shortened upper control arm. Quite a small group of folks that want this but the value of the part is through the roof.

It doesn't get 'stupid' cold but it does get 'damn' cold...but it's more about not having to worry abou those pesky hoses and peace of mind.

Wouldn't it be easier to just have people send in their thermostat housings, and make a full piece welded to the housing?

We already have a manifold that performs well. Center fed or side fed...your choice.

How much shortening are we talking about and where?

The upper control arm needs shortened about 10-20mm. It all depends on how much camber we want in the end.

The second problem is the bushing inside the UCA. It is difficult to find replacement bushings that are separate and the OEM one is a very unique bushing. It allows for all sorts of movement and is a seven-piece design bushing. The whole UCA on a G20 is about eight inches long.

The other thing that makes this more difficult is the angles that a G20 multi-link has in the UCA to maintain camber, toe, etc... and also function the way it was designed to give more camber upon more compression or more steering input. Those dimensions need to be kept in spec while shortening and that is the large problem.

You said you like a challenge and a lot of folks have said it cannot be done. I have seen some that are made from scratch out of tubular metal to accept OEM-like bushings and I have seen people just cut and re-weld the OEM arm to make it a small bit shorter. About 10mm is going to gain one whole degree of camber. Running around with -2.0 degree of camber will start to kill tires on the street-driving faster but handle much better in turns.
