If you had my car and $10,000 what would you do ?

basrah · 08-31-2007, 07:44 PM

Im going to Afghanistan and will be returning with hella cash and am putting 10K into my suby. If you were me, and had this car, what would you do with it to make it a well rounded ride ?

2003 WRX (MBP)

mods:
Cobb AP
Work emotion cr kai
Champiro HPZ tires
H-tech springs
Samco IC hoses
catless TBE (Cobb, PDE)
HKS UP
Hawk HPS front pads

Obviously I am going to replace the springs with coilovers, and switch to a FMIC with a bigger turbo. Here is my tentative list:

evoIII 16g
perrin FMIC
650cc Deatchwerks injectors
some sorta coilovers
walbro fuel pump
4 piston brakes
FSB/RSB
kartboy endlinks
meth kit
PPG 1st gear ?

Thats just the start, and the plan is to buy a lot of it used to save money... but I dont think this is too close to 10K yet. The next option is to put a 2.5L in and go big, but then I have to start on the tranny...

Alright, lets hear what you guys think I should do.

2.5 block + gears thats about 6g right there

If *I* had 10k I would invest it into my future. Houses, safe investments, etc...

But if you are going to invest it into a 4 year old car. Then yes your on a good start. I'd probably go Axis stg 2 + ppg set and 20g or bigger turbo + supporting mods and tuned for a built motor.

Agreed, I would be a bit over budget if I went that way, even with a used block. I looked into some ppg gears and really I dont know if I can drop that much.

I'd make it into a bugeye STI.
2.5 block/VF39
6 speed and DCCD
Brembos or just 06 4/2pots
New headlights

And use the leftover 2-3k for cosmetic stuff for your new Bugeye STI, such as gauges

Im going to be coming back with $40,000, 30 of which goes into the future stuff. I am allowing myself this 10K so I can finally be happy with the car.

If Im going to put a 2.5 in I would go a lot bigger than a VF39. For the amount of money a new block would run I would have to put something worth all that money in there. The brakes, headlights and gauges are a good idea though.

Gamble it all.

I kiiiid. Your plan sounds mighty fine. I'd do the tranny first, but thats me.
