I would like to hook my sister up with some cool parts for her 04 Impreza 2.5RS, being that it is her Birthday and all this week.

I am torn between some power mods and something like a short thow shifter. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what mod(s) I should get her. I think she would like any extra HP she could get, being that she always asks if she can drive my WRX, but I can't help but think she would really appreciate something like the short throw....

Thanks :wiggle:

What is your budget like?

 

between 100-300

 

maybe CAI setup
lighten pully
?

 

Although obviously you don't get any more hp from installing a ss, I think the overall change in driving will be more noticable than adding maybe 10 or so hp. Personally, I think any car feels more like a "sports car" when the shift throw is decreased.... in any case, very cool big brother for buying the sister car mods. :-)

 

That's really the way I am leaning as of right now. Do I need the bushings when I get the short throw as well? I may also throw in a K&N drop-in for her. I don't know. I am still open to all suggestions....

The CAI is intriguing. hmmmm....

 

I can say from experience that the front and rear bushings help quite a bit with lessening shifter slop for the wrx. I recommend them and they are only a bit more money. :-) I like kartboy best for bushings.

 

The CAI with bethe most noticeable I'd guess. I love the COBB I have and I'm sure she will too. How about an exhaust?

 

what about new springs? or a strut bar

 

Shifter Kartboy $100
2.25" Catback Exhaust
stromung catback $$$400+
the cheaper old wrx swap catback $100-150
no cai (it doesnt really do much and am not getting into why it doesnt..read sticky:P)
just take out the snorkus and put in a stock K&N filter or Green Filter $60

I felt the car a lot better after I did the exhaust mod, great to free up some ponies...

hope this helps

 

What are you? Retarded? Please get into why it doesn't do much. I read the stickys and I saw nothing. Maybe I'm the retarded one and I can't read. I don't think I've seen a single thread where someone is like "I got a cai I don't like it" Everyone that gets a Cobb or an Injen love them. Even I noticed gains from my Cobb cai.

 

Yeah dude, you're trippin. Unless you're talking about the WRX...I noticed gains with my COBB. ANd I couldn't find the sticky on it...But I'd like to hear your side of the story.
