Smile Just got my first WRX 2002 hatch stock

Wow car drives great , semi fast and handles very well, Im happy....or am I.
Im thinking of doing some mods as long as they are legal and I dont spend too much money to start off, around $2500 approx.
What would you guys suggest would give me the most power and what to do first , maybe ruff prices and who I could see in Perth North of the river to do the job right.
I have a annoying rattle sometimes , It is in the rear of the car inside I think, maybe seat belt mechanism or inside the hatch part, anyone had the same problem... I need to find it, everthing is perfect but that rattlewhen I go over bumps now and again is annoying.
Cheers

hello,
exhaust, fuel pump and verso tune would be the best bet for that price range

i'd suggest coilovers, swaybars, anti-lift kit & roll centre adjuster, no point in having a fast car that doesn't handle

and welcome to perth-wrx mate

i dont see the point^^^?

they handle fine in stock form to handle the power a verso tune for an exhaust and stock turbo would net

and a tune would put more smile on his dial than swaybars and coilovers, also would hurt his neck+spine less

but each to his own i guess ://////////////

Do both.

China exhaust + front and rear sway bar + tune.
