- 2 Pieces of 3" flexible HVAC duct ($10 from Home Depot). Makes great brake cooling ducts
- Light-up windshield sprayer nozzles
- Zymol Car Care Kit - because a clean car is a fast car
- Pedal covers
- Colored hose and flex-loom


Cobra - Who isn't trying to be a smartass but who cannot think of anything "cheap" AND "worthwhile"

EDIT: About the cheapest thing I can think of would be my 14" Longacre Convex mirror but even that was $50 and it requires a rollcage to hang it from.

Ok I may be able to think of something in that price range. I was thinking $25-$30.

What do you do? Drag? Autocross? Open-track?

ES shifter and motor mounts are worth more than they cost. Get them!

- Double-up on gift givers and get them to work together and get you a rollbar. You can get an Autopower 4-point for around $250

- Neck collar (mainly for open track)

- Red driving gloves (OMP has a set for $70)

I got my **** from a local dealer who sold me my cage at his cost. I can give you his number if you would like. I paid $108 shipping on it. They ship truck ground from Autopower. I think a bar is a bit less however. It weighs half as much.

Just want to clarify that I have never once in this thread stated that I was talking about a cage. I was referring to a bar from the first mention of it.

Just wanted to be sure you got what you wanted. You did type "cage", so I was understandably concerned.

Bar on track

Hmmmm, slightly more than $100, but worth every penny:
1. Rollbar, as mentioned by Cobra ($260)
2. Helmet, SA2000, full face ($200+)

Less than $100:
1. Pedal covers. helps you heel-toe
2. ES motor mount inserts (if autox class allows)
3. driving gloves, as mentioned by Cobra
4. driving shoes (or wrestling shoes, which cost less but not made of Nomex)
5. misc. tools, floor jack, mechanic gloves
