2012 WRX STI - Recommendations

[VaughanB]

Hi All, 

I have had some pretty decent machines in the past one of which was a fairly strong 2004 STI back in South Africa many years ago built by Sportronic Racing.

It was time to get another scoob and I have recently acquired a 2012 WRX STI (Type UK). Considering I have been out of the Subaru mods game for some time I have lost touch with all the terminology and best parts for my car. So any updates there would be good. technical specs, common issues, best quality parts that are available in the UK etc.

With that being said who is a reliable person/company to do the tuning and fitting of parts, I have been there and done that fitting my own stuff and without a proper garage day jobs tend to turn into weeks so prefer to have someone doing it with all the right gear. For recommendations of reputable mechanics that are close to me I live North of Manchester in the Saddleworth area.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Vaughan
