performance mod advice needed
�
�
what is the best performance mod for a 04 sti?
| Trunk_Monkey | 11-09-2005 09:47 PM |
Depends what you want to go for. Horsepower/torque numbers, 0-60 time, responsiveness, torque, lowering spool rpm, handling, feel?
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 09:53 PM |
i mainly am tring to make it better cornering as it is a little skitchy for me and better brakes would probably help, huh?
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 09:54 PM |
what would u recommend. i heard that it's belt isn't too good either

And *** do you mean its "belt" isn't good? What belt are you referring to?
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 10:07 PM |
sorry my bad this is my first night in a forum... the belt in my 04 sti it's seems like there is room for improvement thats all.
| Silver571 | 11-09-2005 10:08 PM |
What belt? theres many...
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 10:10 PM |
do you have any advice on drastic improvement performance mods on corning? It could be better and i'm wondering if bigger brakes would help.
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 10:11 PM |
the timing belt
| Silver571 | 11-09-2005 10:12 PM |
Timing belt... needs improvment?
Brakes don't help you corner. The use of them, well thats another story. Your stock breaks are fine if you do indeed have an STi. Brakes lines and pads might be something to get but not right now.
Look at some strut bars and a coilover suspension or some nice springs like prodrives, as these will also help cornering.

ohh well i am uncertain of that belts name, so forget about it. Do u have any advice on some hp improvers
| Trunk_Monkey | 11-09-2005 10:16 PM |
Tires are always a good place to start. The stock sti brakes are great. Think swaybars, anti lift kit (alk), coilovers. How much money do you have to work with and do you want high speed handling or tight lower speed corners - what do you plan on using the car for.
If you want the most effective performance mod look into fixing the nut behind the wheel. [url="http://kalecoauto.com/tools.htm"]http://kalecoauto.com/tools.htm[/url]

thanx im reading it at the moment
| Trunk_Monkey | 11-09-2005 10:20 PM |
Its a joke if you didnt catch that, aka the best mod is a good driving school.
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 10:20 PM |
i speed handling, drifting and racing...
| Trunk_Monkey | 11-09-2005 10:21 PM |
Well by saying drifting you are sort of contradicting yourself, drifting is all about losing traction. Go to an autox and see for yourself that the car is capable of far more than most drivers, once you realize that look into a driving school or joining a weekend racing (autox) club.
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 10:21 PM |
yea i am sloowwwwww, not stupid jk
| speedspeedspeed | 11-09-2005 10:23 PM |
well then what should i be looking for since ur the "expert"
| Silver571 | 11-09-2005 10:23 PM |
May I ask a question here... how old are you ?
| Trunk_Monkey | 11-09-2005 10:24 PM |
Im no expert by any means, just find a safe place to learn the car and see what you think it is lacking, you will see that your times will improve more with practice than with any mod.
| C43 | 11-09-2005 10:26 PM |
Forget everything and just go for a larger turbo. SZ49 or 20g. Get 850cc injectors, Big maf housing, UP and a catted DP, 3-in or bigger CBE, 3in turbo intake pipe(Perrin), 255 FP and a great Ecutektune. You'll friggin love it. Then get some STi pinks with group-n tophats. You will need gauges but just get a AVCR and you'll have all the monitoring you'll need. If not you will buy a bunch of unnecessary parts in a quest for performance. If you want to be pushed back into your seat. If you never want to get out of your car. If you can't wait until temps drop. Then all you need is what I described. Please check with a good search, because I am sure I forgot a little bit of stuff. I bought alot parts but the turbo friggin does it. Remember "Rome was not built in a day" good luck and enjoy. The search button is your bestfriend use it, you will find all you desire.

best mod....well, its not really a mod, but learn about the car and do some research rather than just posting a question. It'll give you knowledge, and keep you from getting flamed (if you dont know what that is, you shall soon find out)
EDIT: HOLY ****! youre 17 and have an STi? uugh, the dealership here claims they wont even sell an STi to a teen...and for good reason

A 9 year old could read the forum title, "Interior & Exterior Modification and Care," and the description, "How to make it Bling, keep it bling, body kits, seats and trims..." and realize that this post doesn't belong here.
And replacing the timing belt? The first thing you need to replace is your car.
