Wink £60 - £70 Present?

Ok then please dont laugh, my dad has a MY99 uk turbo and i just want to buy him something for it. We both usually post under a different user name but i thought it would give my little surprise away if he were to see it.
So this is where i dont want you to laugh, im 16 and i earn around £45 a week so i am looking to spend about £60 - £70 and i obviously want to get the best "mod" that i can for this money.
I was thinking something like a quick shift? as this is, i suppose more of a performance mod than anything else im going to get for so little money. Anything else that anyone can think of?

Thanks for any suggestions
Fusion
P.S Im not a chav!

you can get quickshift levers off ebay for around £30, spend the rest on **** and beer

joking aside, a front strut brace is around £50, a bit of hunting around on ebay and may get front and back for around your budget.

steel brake line kit? panel air filter? if he's not into mods some locking wheel nuts, decent speakers, nice floor mats, some car wax/shampoo etc?

about all i can think of at the mo

you could get a decent induction kit or else maybe a back box , depending on what bargains you can find online .
But make a note of seeing what he already has so as not to get the same again!

Some places actually do gift vouchers even , ill PM you details

Have alook at http://www.revolution.eu.com/ First click on Subaru,then Styling, then you'll have 2 choices of which subaru model 92-00 and 00-03, then Accessories,then Sti accessories, and there's a nice Sti alarm clock £54.99, basically its a speedo and rev counter from a scooby made into an alarm clock.Its not a mod but I'm sure he'll like it ! Think I'll have one For a proper crimbo

places like demon tweeks sell fronts (sparco/OMP etc) for around £50-£70

don't know if he's got a full exhaust change, but you should be able to get hold of a 2nd hand decat centre section (all helps come remap time)

The best gift in your price range is a quickshift without a doubt.

I dont; but Ive spoken to several people whove all referred to it as one of their best additions. You benefit from it all the time too.

You may have changed your username to post this under but if your dad reads this thread and sees that list of mods I think he might twig as to who posted the thread.

Yeah do it.

I didn't notice a great deal of difference when I replaced all my droplinks but I love my B&M.

Plus he'll think of your smiling face every time he changes gear. And in future if anything goes wrong with his gearbox he can pin it all on you.
