So, What Automotive Based Tools/Parts Are YOU Asking For This Holiday Season
 

Just wondering if anyone has a list of things in mind they are asking their wife / gf/ significant other / kids/ parents/ etc. I would put this in the lounge, but figured this would probably be the best place for it as long as we kept it automotive based.

I am trying to convince my gf to get me the RB exhaust w/ BHR midpipe .... something is telling me if she did, she would expect me to spend the same amount on her :rofl:

generic stuff like jack stands and/or ramps...still need those. a better jack would be great too! headlight restoration kit, etc.

rx-8 specific...new fog light bulbs is all i've asked for.

Tomioka Ramps! Good idea 2tone!!!

1/2 and 3/8 torque wrenches, also a good roll around tool chest now that I finally have a garage to work in.

Oh and an engine stand cuz an old tire works but is just kinda ghetto and doesnt let you rotate the block

I cant decide between the bride shift boot or a leather w/ red stitch ...

Christmas List for my car: Audio Audio Audio.

I'm lookin' for an upgrade - been lurking the audio section for a month now tryin' to gather some ideas :D:

As for tools....


I would LOVE an impact wrench...:yesnod:

I need a couple of stubby screwdrivers.

This is your thread and you keep talking about parts, not tools. ???? Oh well, it is your thread.

I buy all my own stuff, parents never really did much gift giving after I reached teenage years.

I recently bought
1- Last year I bought a Racing jack http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...ver-47246.html

2- This month I bought a GPS Lap timer http://www.mh-motorsports.com/rc_pro_OBDII.htm

and

3- Dual function IR pyrometer with tire probe http://www.soloperformance.com/Joes-...it_p_2038.html

-Enter coupon code "nopistons" for $25 off. A great deal on a great track tool, coupon expires 12/31/10

Still on my wish list (AKA shopping list)

1 - Cordless electric impact wrench. http://www.soloperformance.com/Nieko...ch_p_2039.html

2- Those Tomioka Ramps are a good idea and wont break the bank. http://www.frsport.com/Tomioka-Racin...s_p_13365.html

I was using tripple stacked 2X6's at the track last week (also used to help with trailer ramps)

Yea I am a moron, I wish i could change the title

impact wrenches are the best! so glad I bought mine. Actually anything with a compressor is a big help.

Not my words.

You can go to the first post and edit (advanced) and change the title on the first post, but I dont think it will change the thread title.

lolol yea i will do that thx

as easy as it is to take off a wheel -it's tedious as SHIT! :banghead:

I mess around with wheels way too much not to have one of my own :(

Oh I forgot about 2 more.

Electric winch for my trailer.

And the Grandy Daddy of Weekend Warrior tools; Portable scales to corner balance. I want to play with my ride height a little but I dont want to throw off the balance from the last time I had it corner balanced.

Ha, you would never get near my wheels with an impact wrench of any kind!
I just spent $1400.00 on tires and new sensors and the Speed Shop that put them on my wheels was more than happy to go old school and the dude even wrapped the socket(if you will) with tape as not to scratch the wheels or lug nuts when taking them off or during the torquing them back on to spec! (ha ha).
At home, I just do the same.
Hmmmmmmmm.............in terms of what I want, well.........the ramps sound pretty good! Have two floor jacks and stands, but ramps would be nice.

Those ramps are actually looking real nice. Not sure if i need them since im using the old school 2x4 ramp method

:lol: i'm almost offended that you would think i wouldn't take the utmost care when dealing with wheels :eek:

lol - jk :p:

Well since I fixed up the title to my first post, which do you guys think I should ask the gf for :)

I don't really get gifts being father and all.
So I got myself Christmas early this year, to finish off my set up I got:
BHR coils w/new plugs and wires
Tokico D-Specs
RB Gauge cluster w/glowsport gauges
HKS Hi-power exhaust
A nice leather shift boot
Momo shift Knob

Damn ^^ that's quite the gift haha

a new shift boot is a good idea. i could use one of those too.

shizz man, i didn't have a brand picked out, but those look perfect!!


thanks for the link! :)

I got one from Polak Graphics. Real leather from Europe. I am quite happy with it.

I am asking for:

• Roll Around Tool chest
• 09+ Cloth Seats
• Racing Beat Sway Bars and Endlinks
• Vertex Lip Spoiler
• New 1/2" and 3/8" Torque Wrenches
• Big Low Profile Race Jack
• Nano System for Nitrous

Thanks, I need some of those ramps just to get even my low profile jack under the car.
