What do you think if I put a ts50 kit on it. The motor has done only 50000km so the motor is good do I look at gear box as it is a maunal. I am looking at power and control.

If its an auto, get a high stall, diff gears and a custom tune, this should see most of your $2k gone.

perhaps if your happy with driveline, look at improving your suspension setup so it handles heaps better again?
