A spend on the STi
As my STi had its 2nd birthday this week (same day as mine actually ),
it's time for a spend on the car. Not sure where to direct the $$ though. The car has a tune and full exhaust and that's it. So looking at three options, power, suspension or upgrade the ICE. I'll look at a budget of $2k. I have the amps and sub if I go down the ICE route. Is it worth upgrading the turbo or do these motors still go pop if I do? Is it worth upgrading the stock suspension, it's pretty good IMHO, but I'm sure there's room for improvement? Whadyareckon? Power, suspension or tunes?? ($2k on coke and hookers, although tempting may be frowned upon by the wife )

Depends if you track your car or not, but $2k budget for coilovers doesn't give you many options on a my11 if you're looking for good gains on the track. If you don't go to the track, maybe $2k will be ok but then what's the point? Some good springs wouldn't be a bad idea on the stock struts, some strut braces maybe short shifter.
Otherwise budget $3k-4k and you could get good coilovers or a twin scroll setup maybe (?) |

For a street car, dw 65c fuel pump, blouch td05-20g, turbo inlet, cold air intake, wrapped el headers, boost solinoid and tune will give ur 50to70 more whp, and cost around $3000. Maybe some jdm sti or eibach spring for another $600.
If u plan to go to track. Whiteline bushing kit, groupn mount, proj mu pads, std coilover would be around $2k.

I would suggest rims and tyres. Better go better stop. Plus better looks
using the Perth-WRX mobile app

Cheers for the feedback. Looks like I need to up the budget for some noticeable gains in handling or the go department.
