Ok so on a previous thread I stated that I was interested in trading in my 03 WRX Wagon for a Ininiti G35 Coupe. Putting things into percpective, realizing that my REX is paid for and only has about 30,xxx miles on it if figured if i put some upgrades I probably wouldn't be so bored with it.

So here's what I've done so far...

KYB Adjustable Gas Shocks
TEIN Green Springs
STi Front Upper Strut Bar
Optima Red Top Battery
Air intake Mod...Basically a short Ram.
Sound System
Painted Side Skirts and Painted Rim's (Prodrive P1'z by OZ) Was Anthracite now Bronze.

So...with that said and done I'm looking for some ideas as to what the best Bang for the Buck is. I've seen alot of your cars and have been an avid reader of this forum, and I respect alot of your opinions and suggestions. I know there are alot of STi's on her but not too many Wagons (not to popular I guess).

This is a daily driver, and I'm not taking it to the track to race or Rally for that fact. Just would like a Fast Street use car. That turns some heads. (not the cops).

So what upgrades would you do????

 

for power i'd just do the cobb stage 2 setup. thats a good bang for the buck or at least the cobb. also do the brakes lines, pads, and fluid. i think that would make the car alot more fun for awhile.

 

IMO: Wagons are the best...
As for mods you say you want a "fast street car" but, what do you consider fast?

 

COBB.............UP & DP
" ".................Accessport
Protune

You will be shocked how much quicker the car is

 

300 whp or more perhaps but still very driveable not too high maintence.

 

COBB Access port better than Ecutek?

 

VF30/34/39
STi Injectors or mod your stock ones
Upgraded TMIC
UP/DP
EcuTEK or AP Protune
Fuel Pump
Catback

The following is not needed but would add to reliability/ability to go for more power later.
Upgraded clutch (IMO: a Exedy Hyper-Twin)
PPG 1-4 gearset
STi 2.5L shortblock and reuse your stock heads

 

how much are you planning to spend at a time?

 

IMO the AP is much better than Ecutek for one reason.....Realtime mapping. Plus you can un-marry @ any time in case you are taking it to the dealer. Although I never have

 

I would just go for the g35. However if you are bored with the wrx because it doesn't have enough power than you won't be much happier with the g35.
