What's on your Christmas list this year?
 

So it's that time of the year. Santa is stocking up his sleigh, checking lists twice, and trying to figure out who deserves a shiny new turbocharger. But he's missing a crucial piece of information, he needs to know what's on your Christmas lists so he can bring all you good Girls and Boys, new, shiny toys.

So what upgrades, accessories, or parts is everyone buying for themselves, hoping to get from others, or generally want for Christmas this year?

For myself i'm hoping Santa brings me the following:

• Gram Lights 57DRs
• Set of sport tires to go on them (taking recommendations)
• Set of winter tires to go on the stock wheels (taking recommendations)
• Some spacers for the Grams
  
• Perrin 2.5" Exhaust or the Tomei Expreme Ti
• If i get the Perrin Exhaust, I'd like to match it up with a Perrin 2.5" Overpipe
• Tomei UEL Headers
• MXP Blue Titanium Shift Knob

There's just so many shiny things that I want, that I just hope I've been a good enough boy for Santa.

Ain't nobody been that good ...... :sigh:

OK, my desires are simple. I just want a cute little "elf" to come and vacuum the pine needles out of my FR-S ........ and anything else I can find for her to do ......:drool:

Isn't that the truth :(. Probably will only get the wheels/tires and shift knob at most to start off the build. But this time of year is great to buy parts since a lot of the stores are doing 5-20% off for black friday and what not.

Those wheels look fantastic! It's so tough trying to pick out a set of wheels that i'm constantly changing my mind.

For the final drive piece which looks like a cool upgrade to do, is it pretty easy to install one of those? Anything else you have to do/get to support it?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. There is not a single thing I want or need that I don't just go out and get when I want or need it. Makes it tough to buy for me!

You don't have anything on that list you really want right now but are holding out due to good discipline? Something like a new set of racing seats or a bigger turbo?

C'mon, share what you really want!

I wanna ha, I wanna ha, I wanna ha, I wanna ha
I wanna really, really, really wanna zig a zig ah



No really if I wanted seats or a turbo I would already have seats or a turbo. Hell, our little $300 chest freezer died last week and I just spent today installing a new fridge, stove, microwave and dishwasher because to get a fridge with a bigger freezer instead of replacing the chest one we had to get stainless. Since everything else is white it wouldn't look right so...

My goodness, the classic signs of OCD...

Maybe therapy should be on your list?

:D

Oh god not theory again! Not sure the last doctor has even been released yet.

Oh, Jesus, the brushed stainless trap! Been there done that. :(

This has some sort of coating on it. It truly is stainless stainless. I made them prove it worked. It did. I was surprised. Was the only way we could get the fridge we anted. Apparently they don't make things in white anymore.

My microwave just died. I'm in the same boat. It was black, but that doesn't match my stainless fridge or stove. And while I am at it, granite counters would be sweet.

Happy wife, happy life.;)

Fisher and paykal, or whatever, has a polymer coating.

Ya it snowballs pretty fast.
Well if we get a different fridge with a bigger freezer we don't need a new chest one.

Well the white dishwasher is right across from the fridge and that will look silly.

Oh the stove is just down from the dishwasher and that just won't do.

Well now, the microwave above the stove...

This is Samsung so I hope they don't just burst into flames.

Well ..........

OK, your call ........ I'll send her back ....... :iono:

Ya that would go over well!

I could play the "we need everything in stainless" card to my advantage maybe.

Samsung make great stuff, their washer and dryers are amazing. I wouldn't worry about any of their appliances. The phone has a rechargeable battery problem.

I want to install the car parts I just got. Been working too much. Oh, that reminds me...

I want a new TQ wrench. Yep. That's it.

I have all Samsung stuff. Washer, dryer, TV, sound system, hell even our toaster is.

Or you could just replace the magnetron for 30 bucks and wrap it with this. :D

Now, the kitchen window is too small, the lighting is outdated, the cabinets gotta go, the countertops are a must change, along with the sink and fixtures, the flooring is worn out and the walls will need new paint or wallpaper.

Now, that the kitchen is updated, the rest of the house is.........:(

See what you fell into there @Tcoat ..... ;)

We did all the rest 5 years ago. Did present an issue since the walls were built around the old fridge which was 2" narrower. Ever cut a 2 x 4 in half lengthways with a reciprocating saw? Ain't easy I tells ya.

What did he turn into?

Had not thought of that.

It was manufactured in April of 1996. So, not sure if I can find the right parts.

And my wife wants a different one. So... New microwave.

Maybe a Samsung like Tcoat's.

Kitchen stuff, from my experience, sounds like a good Christmas present. But it is not. Not at all. " greeeat a new Blender" (sarcastic tone) lol

Ok, so that took all day. How many blades did you go through?

Something considerably less exciting unless you consider the physics.

People jumping on the Samsung band wagon. When you dig in deeper most were installation errors and many were not even Samsung. My favorite was the one headline that said "1.6 BILLION Samsung washers recalled". I am pretty sure that they would have lived to sell 1.6 billion washers. My wife freaked out when Facebook reported that all Samsung products were exploding. It is all clickbait.

LOL Santa's Village in Lapland where a good part of the diet consists of reindeer!

Don't be fooled it's only ever temporary.

In Australia there was a recall on some models of Samsung washing machines because they were catching on fire.

Yep, I sent her back. I would have kept her for myself, but she had something stuck in her belly button ..... I just don't like metal pierced bodies ..... :(

Well, maybe so ........ maybe we will just go back to the way our neighbor girl does her clothes ...... :D

Seriously, she does ..... I watch her ...... :drool:

I'm waiting for her to get her "tit in a wringer" so, I can run over and help her out.
