Hey guys.  I'm just another dude deciding on my first tuner.  I've always loved cars and its come time that i start on planning out my first moves on a car that i havent decided on.  Can you guys tell me what the first couple significant things i should do to my car after gettin it?  I have no clue on what i actually might buy but im lookin at some Subaru impreza wrx's maybe sti's.

Suspension is likely a good place to start, depending on the car you start with.

I personally plan to tackle the suspension, brakes, and rebuild my engine (my engine is old) before I upgrade my turbos and intercoolers. I like to make sure my cars are rigid before adding more power.

Most people start off with exhaust and new intercooler but suspension is a good place to start as well.

Well, it totally depends on what specific model of car that u're getting because some cars already come with good engine but have bad suspension while others have great suspension but a weak engine. I'm not saying I'm a true tuner but every car I get, I always do intensive research about the car, what it's pros and cons are, what defectives it has, what recall issues it's got from the manufacture and I'd start to tackle from the weakest link up.
