Upgrade Time
 

Hey guys.

Ive got myself a MY01 WRX STI.

Was all stock when i bought it, and as of last week, i have recently gone to ASG and they have fitted it with:

New 3" TBE (The one on there was a bit old)
Cold Air Intake
New Fuel Pump
Verso Tune

Was wondering, what else would be worth upgrading on my car (without spending like 30k on it)

I want to run it for the street, but have it as quick and mean as possible. I was already thinking of upgrading to a short block engine, but couldnt really think of anything else. Input would be appreciated it. This is not a what im doing post, just simply asking on ideas for upgrades on my car to make it a beast :)

Could spend a could of grand of suspesion goodies? Coilovers, swaybars, HD links, braces, lateral links and a nice set of rims and tyres?

not sure what you mean by "upgrading to a short block engine". I would focus on handling mods if you havent already eg. sway bars, coilovers, roll centre kit etc etc

"Short block engine" you're referring to is an EJ207 block, which your car already has.
Best people you could speak to are ASG as they have knowledge of your car and have done many before that.
What I could recommend are the handling upgrades coupled with a bigger turbo and a new tune. As to which turbo there are much more knowledgeable people on here than me.

I was thinking of getting some coilovers/sway bars installed. Like yeah, im thinking of spending 10k max on this car to do it up as best as i can.

Chromies?

something small, but a silicone intake?

Go a set of HSD coilovers, full whiteline or perrin suspension package, some nice 8.5/9 inch jap spec rims, good rubber with a tough offset and you're well on your way to win.

Yeah thats a smart idea. Id eventually get new rims on it. Either white or black (as its a white STI)

Also guys, my mistake, when i said short block.. I meant the EJ25 Closed Deck.

Leave the 207 in it. If you want more torque, twinscroll it

You've got a nice set up to start with.

Just get some suspension goodies and maybe a VF34 P20 turbo if you want a bit more power.
