Great jop OP

Seems more designed for the bolt on enthusiasts, and not as flexible for the full build guys/full swaps.

Few things I would personally like to see added.

Engine builds be it rebuilds by shops, DIY's, or swaps.
Trans swaps, most commonly the S2
Injectors
Oil coolers and line upgrades

I can for sure take care of the latter two right now. The first two will need some consideration.

I would maybe lean more towards a warning about ride stiffness and that running them on the highest dampening is not recommended for daily driving and more geared towards track / auto x

Batter warning: Well written but I'd add or consider a more suitable battery for OEM placement. Something to that extent

I'll send it to you shortly.
Question: once a build is uploaded, will there be a way for that user to edit the build with future mods without having to resubmit to you? Just thinking ahead.

just used the analysis option and I have a quick observation.

I selected the BHR flywheel w/ counterweight but still received the warning about possibly not having a CW.
Can you adjust the parameters to only include that warning if the CW drop down is left blank and they did not select either the RB or the BHR flywheel with CW.

as of right now i dont have a mechanism to allow interactive updates, but will consider that.

Also, looks like that is a bug that i thought I fixed, in any event, if the flywheel comes with a CW it shouldn't give you the warning. I will take a look when i get home

np, added a new field "series" and updated the builds accordingly.

The series field is now used in performing the analysis. I.e. if you select s2 and then manage to pick a part like the cobb and some other s1 products, it will flag it as 'severe'

Heres an Idea, but Under engines, Some of us dont have Mazda built motors... So what about a Engine builder select feature added as well to the "Rebuild Kit" feature...

- Daryl Drummond engine getting built...

Just a suggestion for those who have a wishlist: It's best to give Paimon the part name and preferably also give him the general price of the item so as to cut down on the work / research he needs to do.

I'm sure this will lead to more items being added quickly, I know it worked for my big wishlist I sent him.

seriously?
no one else has uploaded a build? C'mon guys, there's a ton of sweet rides on this site, I think this would be a great tool to help showcase those cars and help guide others along who wish to do similar upgrades to their RX-8s
