RallyNavvie Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 As the title suggests I have a bonus coming up which I think I can afford to spend on my car! It's just a stocker right now, I was hoping to last out the warranty on it before I started destroying it but with how few miles I put on it I have another year left to wait. So... Let's keep the budget under $2k for now. I'm an overall performance freak, not a power/speed freak. Being a rally guy I like corners and love the ability to stop. I was considering 8" rubber on all 4 corners but that would wash that budget at once. My other idea was just pads and SS lines, maybe a front brake upgrade if I can find an affordable kit or some STi take-offs. I'm all-or-nothing on suspension, which means BIG coilovers or stock. I would like to try a set of Bilsteins though. I'd love to get another set of DMS 50s but no... Or I could go light power if you think better tires would suffice for my stopping lust. UP/DP/cans and an AP? Anyone find an affordable TBE that rumbles but isn't something to wake the neighbors at idle? May even be able to do pads/lines as well with that route (I get to be catless ). On another note can someone recommend a good, professional tint place? I'm talking a "no bubbles" policy and something that looks like it could be stock it's so seamless.

ProjectS15 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 for 2g i would break it down to... power: AP Up Pipe Downpipe Panel Filter something nice for exhaust Suspension: Rear Sway Bar probably some stiffer springs but your going all or nothing so get the rear sway bar and you'll be happy Drive Train: Short throw Shifter some kartboy bushings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last mods were a great deal falling into my lap, and they things I wanted to have after the winter but it was too good to pass up. Congrats on getting the parts keep us posted on it all after the install. BTW dont know if you are an AT or not but doing all that you should look into a tranny cooler with the stage 2 if you are.
