Just don't waste it on shiny parts and gold plating

I'd put it into top notch suspension, brakes and the rest I'd waste on stuff you can't see like cams and porting and polishing

Finally you start to make sense!! with that money you can have a very reliable 12 second car with the handling and brakes to match.

15 K is a shite load to look pretty, when a few subtle touches can make it just as hot without drawing the wrong kind of attention.

In the end it is your money and your car so do it if you can afford it. and by afford it - i mean, you have the cash, not a loan!

Do the engine, you wont regret it, I spent some $$ on my RX7, getting body kit and paint job. In the end it turned out shit. The money I spent I would have had a weapon stock looking car. Which I regret now.

From now on, its go before show. Once its got all the go it can have I will make it look better, but nothing over the top. Then again at the end of the day your car your money, do what you would like to do.


My 1c worth

Cheers

+1 for throwing the money at the handling and brakes, then dabble on the engine.


or if you have the cash up front, do the whole lot in one go

$15k is crazy money.

Use that money to (a) buy a better car (b) mod a wrx for performance as they are an ugly looking car.

If you are just wanting a showcar, buy a cheap GX, slap a body kit on it and paint away.

i dont reckon Vulcan would be any cheaper, plus don't think they'd supply and fit a body kit.

he did say for $15,000 he's getting a full kit supplied/fitted and a complete paint job, inside and out. that'd be about normal for that kind of job.

but... as other have suggested sink it into the engine & suspension
