wrx 5 speed, poly bushings all around,Exhaust, intake, and mabey an ecutune chip. In that order
As fas as cosmetics, detail the hell out of it, inside, under the hood, and out. Mabey front splitters if you still have money at this point

"What should i get done to my baby first"

First of all start using a condom so you don't make the same mistake again!

Welcome to the family.

Hi and welcome to SVX ownership.
How many miles you got on it?
How's it run?
Was it taken care of?
What do you want to use it for?
How long do you want to keep it?
Are a DIY or a SDIFY person?

Take care too,
John

I just can't sleep at night when I get wheel alignment done, it takes a few days to see if it's okay and then I sleep until I hit a pot hole and realize....... the bolts on the strut that are supposed have 90 ft-lbs of torque DID NOT GET TIGHTENED How does a person get a torque wrench on the strut bolts when the wheel is on the car?

You'd just have to take the wheels off. Double checking tourque is crucial!

As for new mods, maintenance first. Thats key to keeping the SVX going. After thats all done. Tranny cooler or 5mt swap, intake, exhaust, ECU Tune Chip, Rims and Tires. From there you'll have a good base to hit larger stuff. Regular washes and waxing will keep the exterior looking great and leather conditioner on the seats. You should get ahold of a detail shop and have a good clay bar and paint sealer done.
