Well........

Tough question..... without being obvious and asking him, I think it depends on what he needs. *MAYBE* a gift certificate to his favorite auto store or Rx-7 dealer for new stuff??? There are also alot of websites that feature Rx-7 specific gifts... i.e. clocks made from rotors and things like that..... just tryingto give you ideas, good luck!

My girl friend bought me mazdatrix t-shirt for Christmas. That wouldn't be too expensive... not necessarily for the car, but Rx-7 related. Take a look at mazdatrix.com

I know there are places that will make framed posters out of a picture. I'd love to have one of my '64 MGB or my '79 RX-7....

My boyfriend once bought me a Racing Beat strut tower brace for Christmas all wrapped up. Yeah, he knew me. A 3 spoke Grant steering wheel would be an obious choice too for about $50. But here is where you need to let him pick that out. Also I had made a detailed gold rotar for a gold chain he lived with.

and I thought I was the only turkey that likes both MGs and Rotaries. Know anyone who has combined the two (Rotary engine into MGB)?

I know it's been done plenty of times, but I don't know anyone personally that's done it. I couldn't do it myself...I think an MGB should be an MGB...

Matters what he has done to the car. Maybe somehting like a 92gal hour fuel pump? It was only 100-120cnd and was a nice touch to my first gen.
