That would be the best $1000 you could possibly spend on a car forever. A good driver in a stock twin will waste a newb driver with an unlimited number of mods.

Surprising many still don't realize this is a pretty damn fast car. Granted, it has middling acceleration but the speeds once can carry everywhere else make up for it... compare its lap times to a WRX STi... they are close and the STi runs to 60 almost 2 sec quicker.

track time really isnt a mod but its definitely pretty important. i think the best mods would be things that would allow you to sustain on track time. pads, fluid, and alignment. maybe a data logger since thats probably even more cost effective than raw track time.

Yeah, one of the best mods is fixing the nut behind the wheel

A single mod? Coilovers

Multiple? Exhaust and lowering springs
