This better not be my wife on here b/c I don't want any of the above

All I want from Santa is an IT7, ITA or Pro7 racer so I can get my race license next year.

I'll probably wind up with a lump of coal though...

wow, that's a great wife. now i have set my marriage standard. =P

FDwife, so u need to know what ur FDman already has on the car. seems like the #1 great gift is the Apexi Power FC + Commander.

Rotaryextreme.com has some great stuff as well. if u r budget is higher, the Vmount intercooler is many FDman's delight, even if they prefer the front mount intercooler, i don't think FDman will complaint about the Vmount. if ur budget is lower, The carbon Fiber Scuff plates are really nice. http://www.rotaryextreme.com/scuffplate.jpg

you could build him his own emergency tool kit. you'd need a philips and flat head screwdriver, small flashlight, needlenose pliers, 1/4 nub socket wrench, 1/4...6 inch extension and 10,12,14mm sockets to fit that wrench. small enough to fit inside the car without killing anyone.

You've all been so helpful! Thanks so much!
Just for you guys who are wondering, my husband hasn't posted on this thread yet.
My Mom and I always try to get him car related gifts and this year I just want to get him something he'll really go nuts over. So he's even blessed with a car-supportive Mother-in-Law! Did you know there was such a thing?
I knew you all were the ones to ask. The budget is fairly high, but not quite "sky's the limit". FDhusband has so many cars I couldn't begin to list all the mods on all of them and I'm sure some are destined to be parted anyway, the poor souls. Keep the ideas coming guys. I'm off to go look into some of the possibilities you all came up with. Thanks!

If you making a list for someone then just make a list of things that you want/or to get done to the FD, and then give it to that person(s). Also, include the phone numbers of the places where you wish to get this things purchased from.

If I were to make a list, here's how it would be:

1. GT35/40 Turbo Kit (Fun)
2. 1600cc injectors (2) (Fun)
3. 800cc injectors (2) (Fun)
4. FPR (Fun)
5. Lines and fittings for fuel system (Fun)
6. OEM R1 strut bar (I need one)
7. Wheels (include a list of wheels)
8. Tires (Unless included in above)
9. Heater Core (I have no heat)
10. Fuel Rails (Primary and Secondary) (Fun)
11. Paint @ body shop (Cosmetic)
12. Tuning (Needed ASAP)
13. Fuel Release mechanism (I use a wire tie for now, I HATE THIS. IT MAKES MY CAR LOOK LIKE ***.)
14. Money for the female escort service. (All fun)
15. Beer money (Loads of fun)
16. Power Steering belt (No p/s sux at low speeds)
17. To never let the weather snow, rain, hail, sleet, etc.... Nor let the temperature drop below 60 F and never above 80 F. (Impossible, but would be nice)
18. Car Cover (Not necessary but it would be nice...)
19. All of the items listed above. (Except item #14)
20. A new head unit. (Nothing to say here)
21. There's more, but I can't think of any off the top of my head again.
