Thinking of what to do next, and as always, would love to hear AWB5S4's suggestions.

I have an APR snub that still needs to go in the car, and have an unpainted Avant rear spoiler that I'd still like to paint and install at some point.

My current ideas:
-Ecodes
-Piggies / DPs
-Pioneer Avic D3
-Save for Stage 3 and/or WB?!?!?
-Save for future maintenance.
-Save for some mods for GFs WRX (holiday season). She needs a new rear view mirror, wants All-season rubber mats and maybe a chip?!?!

Maintainency things coming up:

-Got a groaning coming from front passenger wheel well. thinking it's a CV boot, or CA or bushing or something.
-I'm at 64K... timing belt is coming up.
-Going to need a new rear bumper whenever I move out of the city... it's a mess. Probably need to respray the front one too. Anyone know the price of an OEM Avant rear bumper? Euro?
-Once I move out of the city, which has the worst roads I've ever seen.. probably need to replace all CAs, TREs and Tie Rods and refinish my wheels.
-I'm sure I'll be replacing a ton of sensors soon, too... like 02s, N75, MAF etc, etc.
-Need to fix a sagging drivers door.
-Need to fix some trim on a back window.
-Replace engine/tranny/snub mounts?

So. With all that in mind... any suggestions on good upgrades and fun mods? What what be a good next mod for fun, performance, convenience or reliability upgrades?

Here's what I have already:

2001.5 Santorin Avant 6 spd
Cold and Premium Packages
Black leather interior
APR 93 Oct, 100 Oct, Valet and 93 oct stock.
AWE DTS
VAST short shifter
Valentine 1 hardwired
Komfortblinker
Aluminum sport trim
Aluminum sport mirror covers
clear corners
Darintake
710Ns
APR Bi-Pipe
Vibrant Cat-Back exhaust
Shine Racing Suspension
Sportec Mono 10s 18"
Goodyear Eagle F1s 235-45-18
35% tint all around
All weather mats
Thule rack and cargo box
Did the VAG recoding for one click un-lock and windows up etc.


As always, thanks for your input.

You're about to have alot to do and it'd suck to spend all your cash on mods, then have to either defer the maintenance or put it all on a credit card.

If you had to pick one mod, assuming you already have a cat back exhaust and chip, the piggie pipes will make the largest difference.

Do maintenency thingys first, then you can mod with peace of mind.

sub/amp - those are all good interior mods you'd enjoy. you pretty much have everything else already.

I'd get the piggies and save the rest for maintaince and Stage 3.

I'd say piggies or some A/V related stuff (RNS-E, pioneer, phatbox). Not sure how much you listen to music, but I basically need MP3 access in my car!

Thought of that too, given today's significance. Going to do NAAC's NHIS days in May.

I had a phatbox but sold it... I wasn't really a fan (and it doesn't fit in the Avant very well.) WTF is up with the rear end of the avant having to be all shaped differently than the sedan. I'm really leaning towards the Pioneer, but would like to chat with you more about the RNS-E.

I'd also probably like to hit up the guy that did your piggies.. that sounds like a great value... and the next performance thing on my list.
