Well I may be forced into the first one coz the suspension is squeaking a bit . To go with it I would like to get some whiteline goodies. I already have a full de-cat and a re-map so the natural progression would be a bigger turbo and the associated parts, although this maybe going a little too far. It's quick enough really, I think
Cosmetically I like it as it is, the only thing I might do in the future is de-tango and then powder coat the wheels white.

Just fitted a panel filter last week mate when it was serviced! New plugs were put in but not sure if they were an upgrade. Forgot to ask. Service was done by carnetix and they fit the green panel filters as part of the service

Just bought Sti v4, I'm considering removing all performance parts from my modified v3 uk car and having a new forged 2.5 lump built with sti heads fitted into the Sti car. Not much really!

whats your mods coming?
similar myself. exhaust,plugs etc and remap. it's getting lowered end of the month and luckily i like the wheels so no more expense there!

little things like grill badges, making my flaps smaller (oh-er) and little add ons to keep me amused, but i can't be arsed to constantly change stuff. did this on my old car and it became a bit of a costly habit.

fortunately i really love my backbox so that won't need changing, had 3 on this car and went through about 6 on the old car

to be honest i'm finding it a more 'fun' ownership this way
