welcome.
what ramon said

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.

Welcome dude :)

And as for the 2g price on wheels thats tempe spec mate!

spend the 4-5g on some proper rims ;)

Welcome mate!

You could buy a key ring for about $5

Welcome mate. Dont be too quick to mod the 99 sti as they are nice from factory!

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.

price of go go juice will drain the wallet first

Welcome mate! Do your research on forums first. suggest you look at [url]www.iwsti.com[/url] 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.

welcome :D

BUGGER, I forgot the HID's.......gotta have them too, how can you see at night without them!!!
Gotta get my prices right....just waiting on the day I can order it & send the car east to have it fitted, no WA workshop will be good enough to do this sort of work.

On a more serious note, Bunnings CAI & a good Exhaust.....for now.

If I see you at Bunnings, I'll be tempted to grab the nearest crow bar and smash you over the fuckin head with it.

Welcome to Perth Wrx, enjoy your ride, hope the forums are of benefit to you.

welcome and enjoy seeing the wallet have mothballs instead of $$$

:Whdatk: ha ha i just gonna sit on the sideline and watch this go down :D

welcome... nice choice of car one of me favourite..

i remember when i became a new member on here when i first got me car and said the same thing.... more power for cheap $$$..

dont work like that specially if ya got a STI.. but first invest in a zorst cant go past that beat!

well err thanx for the enthusiasum fellas... more replys than expected :P

You always get more tha you expect on these forums. Welcome mate, enjoy the stay. These forums can be a font of all sorts of great knowledge.

i just found a 'hybrid' GT spec front mount intercooler for $700 on [url]www.xspeed.com.au[/url]... is hybrid any good?
cheers boys

Just bought some back front n side indicators and eyelids... will hopefully look pretty shmik. gotta mate designing a personal WRX rear window sticker, will put pics up if i can work out how...

don't look at doing any mods cept for zorst without looking for a replacment ecu, and if u touch a boost controller a few ppl here might find the need to hurt u :)

hey fellas just got a x-force angle out zorst sounds tuff apparently gives the car 23kw at the wheels feels a bit kwiker so sall good

23kw atw u be lucky :confused:

how does angling out the exhaust increase hp???????

Bends in an exhaust equal restrictions.

The less bends, the better the flow. This is why exhausts with a couple of 90 degree bends in them sound quieter.

He means from stock to a 3" angle out gives you that estimated power gains..
Not just putting it on the angle

yep i agree..every thing about these machines is expensive but thats part of it.i couldnt drive any other car noe except an all wheel drive turbo, basicaly becouse they are a friggen ball to drive,,the look on my knuckle draggin ss,z diving v8 buddie was pricless when smokin his ass through several corners etc,etc,,id pay double personally,,,respect to all my fellow sti subaru bro,s.
