Car Info: MY04 STi some call it a race car

When my car got totalled last year, I think I added it up to around $17k not including the car, nor any labor

And now I think I came up with a new plan, which involves a lot more $$$. We'll see how it goes

for some reason i thought it would have been more. As you can see, i have trouble picking a suspension, lol

If we're including the stuff we've had before also, I'm on my second set of coilovers, fifth set of wheels, and forth exhaust - bring my total to just over $10k
