1-2k compare to 25-30k is peanut. What matter is your priority. Above all my other commitment, vehicle safety/driveability is major.

I looked at the side crash test, I felt safer with a room bar. At least it protect my back passengers(my kids). Besides, look at the piece of cardboard across the backseat rack, I have no other reason to not own a rear seat brace. FSB is a side effect after I installed RSB. All those things cost me less than a grand. Rear lower member brace is an "accident", kena poisoned.
Otherthan these obvious add on, I was planning for wheels upgrade since I slide in rainny days with whole family in the car(thanks to M3 again), immediately I made up my mind to grab a set of better tyre, only to find out the price is 800 in total with rim+tyres. So I did it, with extra 4 M3 currently rolling with my father since he's already using "slick tyres", he was shouting how can I complain with the "new tyres" so he had it.
Frankly, a mod on 15" led t no turning back. Sagat issue got me looked into alternative, so I consulted SiuYi's professional advice, a more affordable "UPPERING" spring may help to solve my sagat issue.
As of the vacuum gauge, how can my wife not realize it? I explained how it help to reduce fuel consumption by training our driving habit. He sees changes in me(used to drive like... How I drive my Iswaga to how I drive a GaGa), and she's relief finally the arsehole she married drive sesually.
The fire extinguisher I used to hook in my RX-2 during track days had been refill(pressurized) and now hooked under passenger seat after seeing so many cars caught on fire. Expansive? I think its way too cheap for safety.
Voltage stabilizer is the thing that you never agree(so WAS I). I purposely get myself an ERICTIOH unit(used), and surprisingly the aircon compressor kick in REDUCED! Luke drove my car the other day and asking, where's the aircond kick in? You & I have basic electronics knowledge, I still can't brain how it helped the mechanical driven compressor to reduce load, but it did.
Light weight customized underdriven aircond compressor pulley is here to help furthur pushing my FC, am waiting for belt change/aircond service(whichever come 1st) to hook it up.
I have no particular wishlist. Whenever I see something I NEED, whilst budget allowed and I will consider. My family is STILL my priority, but I allocate fund for the car as well. In the end, the whole family is in the car travelling day in/day out. Hope this explained I'm not a moron who mod car whilst forgetting the family needs
