I vote suspension all the way. With 1500 you can put in new struts and springs, couple strut bars, bushings, etc. That'll let you keep your speed a whole lot better when you're driving fast.
However, if you are more towards the drag style, new struts and then turbo and injectors.

Unless your stock suspension isn't in good shape, i wouldnt really worry about handling too much. Then i'd probably get some wider rims and better tires. My car's suspension is pretty much stock but it's in really good shape and I can walk away from probably 98% of cars in the canyon with it.

Performance hmm. STi take off suspension, wrx rotors/brackets up front, good pads, good tires, a random assortment of stiffer bushings, chassis bracing.

Dude. I've had more wagons than you can count to. From GL's, GL-10's, to L's, and Touring Wagons. They are just a shitty car to start with for performace. I don't understand why you'd want to make it 'fast'. It's your car, but realisticly you're looking at no faster then a 13 second car with a butt load of money into it and even more regrets.

why does anyone from this board want to mod their 11-15 year old car? and as many wagons as ive owned not a single one has been regreted and i have learned a ton from each one. They arent your average wrx or sti and that is what is so intriguing about them. Dont get me wrong i would love to have either one and i could of probably afforded either by now but i have chose to start with something completely different and plan on making it a one of a kind car. Now if your done trying to convience me that owning a clean, well taken care of, white turbo wagon is a bad idea, i would like to hear what others have to say and what other suggestions and mods others have experienced... thanks

I don't particularly like to 'mod' it, i like to 'drive' it, and that's because i can drive it off a cliff and not be in debt.gt2.5turbo wrote:why does anyone from this board want to mod their 11-15 year old car?
Honestly, if you don't know what you want to blow your money on, you're probably better off not spending it on your car in the first place.
