I'm not sure what you were planning to do to it, but from what I've read in this thread it seems like all it might really need is alignment gear+alignment, and an oil cooler, which is less than 2k combined.

The goodies on the more expensive car are cool, but it's not like you *need* them right away.
The only thing limiting track time (in the FRS) for me is having enough free time. I am lucky enough to be able to afford consumables and track time (I'm paying for a membership whether I use it or not).

The "street" FRS needs camber plates (or I'm going to eat tires) and alignment (duh), oil cooler and I'm guessing a BBK will save me money long term.
That's probably around $3k since I can get some stuff (BBK, at the least) at whole sale.
