with being patient and buying second hand or on special offers ive managed to only spend a ridiculous amount of money instead of an indecent amount lol
best lesson regardless of cost or budget is to wait and buy the right parts regardless of price - having tried to buy cheaper versions of uprated brakes to save cash it ended up costing me a lot more in the long run
with 2k on a newage sti I would blow the lot on serious brakes, harness and a set of ARB's
10k would be a md321 turbo and remap, AP brakes and KW suspension, set of harnesses and bin the seats, cards etc
