Damn. If I'm going to do 100s of hours of research I may as well just give my project the green light.

Re-gear, header, and tune. Probably after sorting anything tired/worn out (dampers, bushings, etc.) and throwing on a set of pilot ss. I'd spend a few bucks on an sti gurney flap, a pair of Tom's a set of sti springs if there was money left and I had to blow it.

"Capable car out the box" and similar comments - whilst I do agree... is missing the point.

Personally I'd go headers, SC and tyres (wheels too if you can stretch) - then drive it and have fun.

AutoX/track days etc are fun... but even more fun with more power

HMMM! Rally school - now that sounds like fun!

I rate rally drivers (generally) as some of the best in the world! Handling a car like they do - right on the ragged edge - just screams "mad skills" more than most other forms of motorsport!

OP - this is a good idea

Assuming I'm "required" to spend it on the car

Edelbrock Supercharger
Louvers
Hood Respray or replacement

That should pretty well eat up $10K quickly.

- 245 Michelin PSS / 17x9 wheels of your choice
- Carbotech XP8 Brake Pads
- RCE T0 coilovers + alignment

Brembos, front lip and Recaros from the ts
Final Drive Swap (4.56?)
Header, exhaust and tune
Aftermarket rims and Pilot super sports
HKS coilovers


Too lazy to do the math. Remove the recaros if I'm over budget.
