What's the best first mod you can do to a STi?

[IGOTASTi]

Say you have a stock STi and wanna put a mod on it. What would be the best mod for it?

Depends on what you want to do. Power wise I would have to say AP and a TBE, it's a lot of power for not a lot of money. Springs and sways for suspension. The brakes are amazing for DD duties and I personally wouldn't upgrade them unless your going to the track.

The first power mod I'm with Fugi on, AP Stage one.

First suspension mode I would do sways.

first mod, a naked hot chick bent over the hood or to be a co-pilot in the driver seat with you

seriously though, it would depend on how much money is the person willing to spend? a $30 shift knob or a $2-3000 set of coilovers?

AP for better reliability and drivability regardless of year and then it's whatever direction you want to go with it.

I agree 100%. It's an upgrade for everyone, but it can help save some years from blown engines.


<< Dumb-dumb over here drove around for 3 years on the stock 07 tune because he was ignorant. I wish I could do that one over again.

It's not easy to pick a first mode from my list... To many items that could make a grate first mod. Ether way, a reflash would leave you money on the table for a couple of swaybars compared to an accesport. Also learning to tune a car will give you amazing insight on how everything works.

After I learned... I wished that I had gone with a Ford 351W with a holey 750cfm 4 barrel and a msd 6al with a blaster coil and a 150hp nos shot. So much simpler on my book.

I'll upgrade the brakes first on a Subaru. I always felt back then that my stock brembo caliers plus oem pads are very over rated, not good enough for the engine power and vehicle weight.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Well I did rally flaps as my first mod to protect my paint, lol.

 

[Paul.c]

That's a great choice too. You should think about a clear bra too.

 

[jswansti]

I personally did some "show" mods before "go" mods. First thing was window tint, then RA flaps, and then got an AP. Now that i've done most of my aesthetic things i wanted i'm getting into stage 2 protune stuff.

Paul I already have that! Read my journal, lol!
