Thanks for the comments all!
I'm a horrible driver, but my best 1/4 time right now is 13.0@106.
Thats with these mods:
4" Bellmouth downpipe
Full 3" exhaust
Accessport (ECU reprogrammer, proffesionally tuned)
Short ram intake
Front mounted intercooler
Meth injection
one step colder plugs

As you can see in my last few pics, I'm piling up parts for a new setup, should be installed in 2 weeks:
SZ49 (stock mounted 50 trim turbo)
740 cc injectors
Larger turbo inlet
Boost solenoid
Intake manifold riser butterflies deleted
Phenolic spacers

Nice, I made a grounding kit for my friend's 07 STi, it dramatically improved shifts, throttle response, you should consider it. It only cost like $30 worth of parts, so it is also cheap

The maxima was way more comfortable, sound system was 100 times better, interior felt better put together, but I rather enjoy 430 all wheel hp compared to like 170 front wheel hp.

I have a gramma that always gets me something for Christmas for around 300 bux, actually she lets me use her CC and I just get it sent to her house so she can wrap it Before any suggestions are made, my mods are in my sig, plus some cf bits/exterior bits/gauges blah blah blah......

I'm not looking for anything that would cause me to get tuned for it because my setup is pretty fresh, but more power is always appreciated.

My personal wishlist includes the P&L EWG kit (fits my dp) and some perty 18x9 sexy wheels, both are not feasible right now.

So I'm trying to think what I should get and harnesses crossed my mind. Some green Takitas or whatever the f*** their called, but keep in mind I am not an autox'er. I basically use my car for drag racing or street racing but my goal is to be a track racer (big track, not gay cone racing)

I was also thinking maybe a lightweight battery and some hellas or maybe a brake pad/lines and sways....?

So what would you get with around a 300 budget with the mods listed in sig. Keep in mind i also have a few things not listed.

Oh yeah, what about lightweight seats? Forge bov? 300 worth of VP103 and meth? or pulleys and grounding kit?

All comments welcome
