if this is a 'wish list' you might wanna put the BSW system on there

You have a similar list, minus the zhp knob and zhp stuff.

Its a pretty good list. What style rims do you guys have, I love those.

my list is starting to look pretty good IMO. the car is now perfect with the exception of vanos rattle. which really doesn't affect the car much (really only noticeable when driving in a tunnel or garage where the sound can reveberate off the walls...)
