What to buy/ask the fd fo christmas

Everyone keeps asking me what do you want for christmas? i tell them o just a game is fine they get mad at me, and tell me come on besides that.

i have no clue what else i want let alone need for myself, but maybe ask for something for the fd? i have no clue besides the rear shocks for the hatch.

anyone got any ideas? i dont like asking for things that are very pricy i normally keep thos for myself to buy.

Well, [shameless plug] IRP and Malloy Mazda have holiday sales going on right now.

Also, www.RX7.com sells some great affordable stuff---- the oil filter magnet, JDM armrest (in place of ashtray), idemitsu oil/premix, etc.

Rotary Extreme has nice hood dampers as well, check out the LED thread in the interior section....

wow, i had no idea there was actually a legal issue with those... id say look for the smaller ones that hang off the mirror, but that would give an even worse impression. so how about a short shifter instead?

We might have asked for the same thing...


Last Christmas, I asked for a set of tires. Everyone pitched in.

+1, Jaime if we ever meet.

I'd go for a set of ratcheting wrenches. Best things I've ever used for the FD.

The arm rest is really cool though, its actually slightly comfortable.

I currently only need one tire, so I asked for that and a walbro, the only two things I still need before I can start into my little winter build.
