Driver mod is the biggest differentiator...especially if you are broke and probably should not be messing with reliability of your car at any level.

But that's just my $0.02...

How can you claim to be broke when you are talking about buying hella stuff?

I would just look into maintenance items if I where broke. Wait, I am broke and that's all my car gets.... well that and tires.

Have you met the Sacramento crew yet? They meet on Thursdays.

Rear sway bar. Best cheap/budget mod I can think of that will make a difference.

Beat me too it. Actually, I would go one step further.

1) Sell the STi.
2) Buy that commuter car.
3) Focus on school.
4) ???
5) Profit!

STi is an AWD turbo charged sports car. It is not cheap to properly insure, maintain, fix or modify. But to each their own. Good luck.

This.

If you're itching for a part OP, this will do you fine. For sub $150, you'll feel like you got a brand new car.

Now tighten the nut behind the wheel.
