I'd suggest a larger tmic as a fmic causes too much lag IMO.
Built not bought, it's a way of life.

If you modify with wisdom you get bigger brakes, better suspension, good quality tyres, then work on power figures.


I guess i did it back to front :lol:

Like many have said already Intercooler (topmount or front mount) up to you, fuelpump, injectors, retune on whatever fuel pump you like. wham there is your $3k+ gone in a flash.

I'd get 2-3 grand in a speccy mineral stock as of yesterday, sit on it for a month, and pull out 15. You're throwing it away on a car for negligible gains so why not throw it on some spec shit and wait for a bullshit announcement :p

Otherwise I would be:
Set of bilstein shocks and some swift/prova/prodrive/eibach springs. $700?
2nd hand Cusco tarmac centre diff and plated R160 rear centre off ricenet. $1500
Set of wrx 4pot front brakes with 2nd hand rotors and some QFM A1RM pads. $500
Torque wrench, breaker bar, open/ring offset spanner set, 1/2 in socket set, and a trolley jack/car stands $500

Easiest point to point speed+big smiles bang for your buck you could possibly do I'd say, and a good fun DIY project.

Assuming good tyres. If you have shit tyres then a set of AD08/R888/595RSR/KU36 in whatever size fits > *anything else.

The same as the RE050A on the pre facelift. :D
Great predictable tyre that isnt noisy and wear well and grip decent enough for the stock suspension.
