      Two "others" that come to mind for me are intermittent wipers and tach cluster. The int. wipers were a big help for me in Oregon since much of the time our rain is not hard enough to require the wipers running constantly.

          the b6 swap was the best for me, 350 for complete engine with some mods with it. and a weekend changed my car drastically.

            BP swap, i picked up my BP for $100 and after a few misc. parts i had it installed for around $200 and what a major difference in power, definately well worth doing!!

            1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                  For me, it was the right-side mirror. Dumb, yes, but I hate not having one.

                    Same here.

                    Add cheap ($20.00) glasspack muffler. I needed one and the stock part rotted off taking the flange with it. Nice, deep tone and no rice sound.
