New member, Impreza Sti hatch, security ideas?
Easy tracker is an old iPhone with Giffgaff or other pay as you go sim in. You can use apples find my phone system to track the phone / car. Has gps and everything built in plus a back up battery. Just give it a power feed and hide it in the car.

Impreza hatch mods?
Hi, welcome. I have a wrx hatchback so not the same but similar. Induction kits are a pain most people don't bother as you need a map after it's been fitted but the stock air box is very good so only reason to do it is the sound. As for the bov again if you are going vent to air it needs to be mapped onto the car. For noise I am not sure how many cats the sti has but removing one along with a resonator will get the sound up for you.

Bought a 09 WRX - S, any hints for a newbie to the Subie?
Welcome. I have a wrx hatchback basically the same car but yours has had the pro drive treatment giving it some extra power and some nice trim from factory. However pro drive dident go nuts you will have about 250hp I think from factory a custom map and exhaust will take it to about 270 and put it on par with the STI's due to weight. What are you goals with modding the car? Nice to see another hatch on here :-D

Also I use cosworth filters in the stock air box. Apparently no need to get a intake system unless you need the space.

For the power 270-280 you just need an exhaust and a remap. I went for a 3 inch turbo back with sports cat and race dynamix for remap got 270hp and if you have a full de-cat can get 275hp. I also went for a light flywheel so I lose less power so not sure what the car really makes but it's at least 270 with a big increase in torque as well. Xander

Wind deflectors
I have the heko ones on my Impreza and have had them on my last 4 cars. I like the look and they let you open the window a little bit without letting rain in or without it being crazy loud or windy. But really it's a choice on the look as there is a function to them but it's nothing amazing.

bumper protecter?
Got one on the hatch. I probably wouldn't have got one myself but it came on it and has been handy and sure I would have scratched the bumper by now.
