What are you looking for? I would be happy to recommend you for the Donnelly group, and have a few other connections depending on what you're looking to get into.

There was an Orleans meet and I was in Toronto! My life! On the other hand I ran into a Blue BRZ at Anime North! So there's that I guess.

hey guys, aside from Perrin what are some other companys that are worthwhile to check out for aftermarket parts or a good mod for 2-300$. i was looking at cold air intakes or strut bars. 18'' Rims and tires will be my winter project since that will be the biggest upgrade this side of a Turbo.

I'm a bitch for Grimmspeed (ask @AznKirby) but many companies offer mods, all depend on what you're looking for exhaust, Nameless, although pricy and cocky at time, offers good quality products. Intake I'd choose the Grimmspeed for R&D behind it, strut bar I dunno, Cusco bcuz JDM ?

I'm a Cusco fan for suspension bracing. Eibach sways, Takeda/Greddy intake.
Greddy EVO3 catback.
@Slick can get most if these thru @genometuning - save the border hassle
And that's my 2 cents

With what Ken and Simon said: depends on where you want to mod really.

Quality of life upgrades? Grimspeed hood struts, headlight upgrades from TheRetroFitSource, fix anything that just "bugs you" on a daily basis

Power upgrades? I'd start with tuning from Open Flash Tablet and an exhaust manifold (Nameless, OpenFlash, PRL, etc) but both of those are pushing your $300 budget , the exhaust (for sound only really, so just personal pref here), and then cold air intake or just a drop in filter (K&N makes good stuff). The stock box is quite good so I'm going to get a filter eventually.

Brake upgrades? Pads. Hawk, Feroda (I think I spelt that right?), etc are all good

Misc? Driver time at a performance event: Autocross, Lapping, 1/4 mile. If you're into that though.


Just my .02 based on what I've read and plan on doing.

I would save that money and put it to something with function, break pads are a nice upgrade, Slick uses some really good ones..

Than tires and wheels,

I would do a drop in filter over a Aftermarket intake.. than tune.. i have drop infilter, sticky tires and a 3" catback with a custom ecutek tune.. break pads are next and the car feels much more alive now

My ecutek has 2 on the fly maps that can be switched with the cruise stock.
one map is blank with just the tune, than the 2nd map has a 2step style launch control and an autoblip , i never use it but its nice to have to show off ecutek
