Welcome man! First and formost, work on you're driving skills. Not that their bad, but perfect them in the sti. Learn it's do's and dont's. As for the 4g's you have to spend. Get an cobb accessport v.2, turbo back exhaust, and swaybars(whiteline), then get some kartboy shifter bushings and short shifter. Shortly after you can get protunned with only a fuel pump and boost controll selinoid.

I would recomend putting the rest of the money towards track days and tires/rims. I'm a big fan of suspension, so it really depends on what you're goals are for th car. I'm assuming a daily driver with spirited driving in between?
