Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Just something for you guys to think about.... My mind is constantly thinking... pretty much 19hours a day , and I know there are other people out there who do the same.. If anyone has an idea or a product that they want to sell 'doesn't even have to be car related ' then it may be worth chatting about... If its importing something then obviously thats a strong area for me but its not limited to that. Currently if you google (pages from the UK) 350z exhausts 370z exhausts and R35 GTR exhausts Tarmac Sportz comes up on page one of all of those searches after 1 month of going live so thats pretty good exposure and i've been getting a lot of interest from outside the UK too. All im saying is that I am approachable, those that know me know that this sort of stuff excites me so the offers there... Get your thinking caps on guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakes100 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 How about offering performance packages? Not everyone who modifies their cars is on a forum so some people may not be sure what the best parts are for them. You could have say a track performance pack and a fast road performance pack. Track pack being Coilovers, 2 piece discs, track pads, braided lines, fluids, arbs etc. Fast road performance pack could be MD spacer, eibach springs, grooved discs, ds2500/yellowstuff pads and so on. Just a thought, might be complete rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 How about, could you get something fabricated? With my V2 front bumper I can't fit a traditional carbon slam panel, but don't want the metal versions because they don't have the air deflector for the air intake. But if the metal ones came with a deflector I'd be interested, and maybe have them painted/coated in a choice of colours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My body is a temple so perhaps I could sell that? And when I say temple I mean its old, falling apart and rarely visited. I did look at exporting cars to australia once after my boss relocated out there. cars are massively more expensive, but the more we looked into it the more red tape we came across, plus tax issues. To someone with import/export experience it may be worth investigation (free idea, I've passed on this one). As a guide, my 330 coupe at the time was worth 8-9kGBP, in Oz it was coming up at 15-20k. Certain cars fetch a real premium, I think there was a huge margin on elise for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for the idea's for me... But, the idea is more for you guys... If you think there's a niche you could explore... for example.. You make something and want to start selling it.. or You offer a service Or The golden nuggat.... Something niche, lets say the Sinclair C5 just got invented in America and everyone wanted one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I've been browsing C5s recently..... I have no idea why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Is this like Tarmacs Den I have loads of ideas in my head but I'm not sure many are feasible or indeed legal For example a TV show idea... "Come dogging with me" where 4 strangers meet up at a different carpark each night and then rate their experience out of 10... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I found a lack of options regarding fitting the front number plate over here, ended up ordering a Zee bracket from the states - it maybe worth getting something similar knocked up over here, or making something similar to the Stillen tow bar number plate thing or importing one of them.

sasha@lazytrips Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 As recent attempts to source some wheel nuts has shown me, there is a distinct lack of decent quality wheel nuts at a reasonable price in the UK. Get some of them in stock - people constantly need replacements for one reason or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I had a great idea a couple of weeks ago... I'm not going to progress it at all but definitely is a good idea for a new invention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I had a great idea a couple of weeks ago... I'm not going to progress it at all but definitely is a good idea for a new invention! Spit it out, i'll patent it and give you 10% of my company. SMD - Love the come dogging with me idea! I'm going to start my own company making porn parodies - the first hit is going to be WOMB RAIDER! or maybe WILLY ****er UP THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Think people are getting confused, Obviously I'm well aware of what I can buy and sell, and more stuff like wheels nuts etc I will get and stock in the future. I'm thinking more like, electic bikes (which I do have a contact for already), or mini moto's, or something a bit more bespoke. Not inventions, I invented an automatic rabbit feeder, a rubbish crusher for your wheelie bin and trainers that monitor your heart rate, miles travelled etc etc and they were all rubbish lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
