I've got 3 switches

1 = Launch control
2 = Anti Lag
3 = Flamer !

would get rid of the flamer but don't wont to be left with a hole in my tailpipe.

Fuel Pump, ABS, ignition, fans, boost control, fire extinguisher are common ones to have.

Too many

2 for Main master electrics, ignition, starter, top spots. bottom fogs, lamp pod, fan overide, interior light, intercom. reversing lights, fog lights, dip beam overide (see below), fuel pump, nav map light, brake lights, fire extinguisher etc etc...

Car is wired so that when main high beam is on - it also keeps the dipped beam on to give fill in close to the front of the car at night. This is actually illegal on the open road and won't pass an MOT like it - so I have an overide to turn it off

Only non-standard switchgear I have on display is a Pectel knob & peak recall switch, but doubt they'll be much use to you
