christmas gift ideas for the FC?

ok, whats some good items to buy for say under $200 for an FC n/a?

im mostly looking for performance gains, like more HP, but i know theres not much you can buy for that cheap, so does anyone have any suggestions on what would be the best buy?

I told my aunt/uncle to buy me those pedals that the one guy is making just for FC's. They're just going to give me $75 instead. But at least I won't feel bad about spending $75 on pedals, although they look freaking awesome.

those leather shift boot/e-brake boots are nice too. Uhm, maybe a short shifter, or some pineapple 5/6th port sleeves. those are all under $100 except for the short shifter

www.mazdatrix.com has a short shifter, does B&M make one for the FC or just for the FD?

For under 200, I'd get :

1)Crane Hi-6
2)RB header
3)Pineapple sleeves + Redline fluid for tranny and diff + new brake fluid for brake and clutch
4)Hawk brake pads + toe eliminate bushings
5)RB engine torque brace
6)Corksport front/rear strut bars

These should keep you thinking

LOL, yeah i was thinking about that one too, but i got a better idea, i was thinking i could put a GIANT MAZDA across my front windshield. now thats stylish! and it will give me lots of HP, of course no where near what a HONDA one would though....

PU bushing set and adjustable end links for the sway bars. That's the best $200 you'll ever spend. And just to point out the pineapple sleeves require new manifold gaskets and is better saved for a large project involving some porting and replacing all of those brittle rubber lines.
