Cool Auto Christmas Presents You've Received

One year I found a fully wrapped RB strut tower brace under the tree. Also from the same person: a cigarette liter operated tire pump (for autoX) and a very nice floor jack. RX-7 T-shirts & sweatshirts (we designed logos for that were sold nationally) were gifts good for every occasion. What have you gotten for your car from Santa in the past?

My wife bought me a full racing beat dual exhaust system for my 83 about 5-6 years ago for christmas.It was probably the single best present I have evr received for christmas.I still have it to this day,and it is about to go onto my new 79 RX-7 in about a month or so.I sent the header out to Jett-hot a week after x-mas,and had it coated,and it still looks great.The gift that keeps on giving.

I got a engine rebuild kit for my 83 LE last x-mas. I would say that has to be the best gift.

This x-mas im getting a wide band tuner, but the rebuild has still got it beat!!

Can you please post photos. I'd like to see if they look anything like my gold piece.

Last year my dad bought me a pair of TII seats, but before that I got a road race header, and a while back I got a panasonic head unit. This year, I made a prety nice racingbeat wish list for my birthday and christmas presents, and somehow I got shocks, springs, clutch + pp, and some bearings and seals. Christmas is always a good time for the ol 7, I think my christmas bonus and cash is gonna finish my steering and suspension quest and set my long awaited wish of upgrading the engine into motion. Oh, and the DIY RE rebuild videos my dad ordered me might help as well. Haha, I just gotta say.....SCORE!!!!
