Well first off you can't do things on the cheap if you have an STI
So you will need.......................
Motec = 4-8 grand, depending on how it's tuned,
Defi guages = 3-4 g,
PPG gear box = 4-6 g,
Front mount = 1-2 g,
Exhaust = 1-2 g,
Bigger turbo = 1-1.5 g,
18" Wheels & tyres = 2 g,
Sway bars & links = 1 g,
Coil overs = 2 g,
Pod = 3-5 hundred,
Driver training ?

Come on cheque book racers, what have I forgotten?????

That should take care of about $15,000 - $25,000 Then sell it in 12 mths because it's an uneconomical, unreliable, uncomfortable pig for about what you paid for it. hehe
Enjoy.

PPG gearbox is poverty spec. You need Holinger if you wanna do it properly.

2 grand rims are cast out of recycled lead in Chinese slums. Might be ok for your car, but not for mine.

Defi gauges for 4 grand? NIGGA PLEASE. Unless you have 27 gauges, it wont cost anywhere near that much.

Welcome mate! Do your research on forums first. suggest you look at www.iwsti.com as well. Suggest you drive the car for a while before you start opening the wallet and investing the hard earned! Once you start mods they just keep coming.
