no chance on the wrx/sti, simply cannot afford the insurance or the running of it to be honest.

All ya can really do is ss exhaust fse power boost valve panel filter there heavy cars to heavy for the engine thats pulling em ?
Next option keep the car buy a donor car i.e write off wrx stick engine in to your's pal..

Green filter - Or closed induction kit
Octane booster in every tank and use 99 octane (best bet for more power in your GX)
Exhaust straight through (not going to get big gains)

As above, take the hit and save for WRX (not the otpion you want to hear i know)
