Here's my list (combo of my '84 and '93):

1. Handling/performance category:

a. Hydra wheels with Michelin Exalto PE2 205/55-16 tires
b. IPD antisway bars (25,22mm)
c. IPD poly bushings
d. IPD braces, both tower to tower and also tower to bulkhead

on my '84

on my '93

e. Slotted and cadmium-plated Brembo rotors (from Eurosport Tuning & Brakes) and PBR Deluxe pads (from IPD)

Safety category:

a. Euroheadlights (including special H4 connectors from Dan Stern, as well as relays, 10 ga wiring, etc):

and on my '84 (and all earlier cars back to the 1970s, Cibie e-code substitutes for sealed beams.

b. Converting all my taillight to bright LEDs (shown is a comparison to the conventional lights on the left and my improved LEDs on the right and in the center brake light):

c. Likewise, converting my front lights to LEDs, too, including LED DRLs in the upper half (to go along with those in the grille, next), as well as the turn signal (lower half, also lit for this picture):

d. Adding more DRLs to the front grille (truck lights):

Engine care category:

a. Using AmsOil engine oil and ATF -- recent picture of my '93's valve train (140K miles):

b. Volvo's Auxiliary ATF cooler, and also 4 horns (and relay) installed (in place of a single anemic horn on my '93):

c. Removal of the Temperature Compensation Board
d. Installation of bright, blue (R-style) gauge faces, and the addition of a large tach (in place of the clock), and small voltmeter and ambient temperature gauges -- I'd love to show you a picture, but I can't get my old photo from the Brickboard Gallery ??? You can just see part of my gauges, though, in my GPS picture, lower down this list.
e. Flame-trap relocation on my '84, and also even on my '93 to make it just a bit higher up (convenience).
f. Installation of IPD's Poly bushings for all accessories (alternator, P/S, A/C).

Comfort/Convenience category:

a. Installing a GPS (that doesn't block the windshield view):

b. Snow caps, and screens over them to prevent debris from collecting in the vent passages:
on my '84

on my '93

b. Center armrest with cupholders (front and rear)

c. Trailer hitch

And of course I'm sure there's more I can't think of right now :-)
