    I suppose an Apexi RSM + the G motion sensor would be nice to get as a present

    G sensor Info wrote:
    One of the most exiting of the new features is the option to utilize the revolutionary A’PEX G-Sensor (Sold Separately). The G-Sensor allows the unit to measure G forces in 4-way front/rear/left/right directions. This data can be plotted in a graph display to map acceleration characteristics and lateral G’s on the race track, or used the an array of new features including : Highly accurate 100m/200m/400m times with trap speed and wheel-spin correction, Horse Power Calculation, and Loss Power Calculation. By taking advantage of the optional G-Sensor, the user can produce extremely accurate acceleration measurements. Usually, when measuring acceleration times using the speed sensor signal alone, the meter will end measurement too early (shorter distance) due to wheel-spin. Using the G-Sensor modifies the speed sensor signal, compensating for wheel-spin and producing impeccably accurate acceleration times.

    I'd like a Carputer or even a music hard drive like I had in my old car.

    A subtle in-dash satnav/DVD player would be nice too, although you gotta spend big money to get one that's properly usable as a cd player and radio.

    HID headlights are nice too if your car can be fitted with them.

    For that sort of money, you won't get anything too wild or exciting.
    Maybe something a bit simplier like a sat nav, rather than something flashey?

    €100 won't get too much. maybe a stereo with integrated Bluetooth, or a set of parking sensors.
