Thank you. That's helpful. Long as I know it's not worth chasing the big numbers in a wrx I can be happy to add a little power for now, not spending loads and upgrade to a sti in a few years when I have the funds as it sounds like a better car not just a body kit and more power.

Hi Guys, I currently have a WRX Sharkeye hatch and am starting to looking into a few power mods. As a standard car its putting out around 230BHP and from what I can tell with a filter, exhaust and remap for 97ron should be able to get to 260-280BHP. Thats about the limit of what I can do without replacing turbos, injectors and getting into a more serous level of tuning. Basically giving it the PPP treatment myself. My question is are the STI's limited to about the same 30-50BHP gain with similar mods? or would you expect to be able to get more than 330-350 BHP? I am working out how much its worth spending on my WRX before I just give up and spend the extra 5-6k on an STI or if I get mine close to STI power levels I might just keep it for ever as I think changing the turbo and a few other mods would get it into the 300 club I hope. Just working things out in my head. I can not afford to change the car anytime soon and have only just got it but I want to work out a budget for mods and dont want to spend money chasing power I could simply get cheaper from selling and upgrading in a years time. Thanks Alex Sorry if a daft question but new to subaru and am loving every second so far.

The new wrx sti has it. I want it and it makes me want to swap my wrx for an sti but silly really as I don't know when I would use it as I only really drive on the roads. -- I make Films and Website for people

Yer that's why I want one just to see what's going on with boost. I think I read standard is 1 bar but i don't know a lot about boost but the ecu will lower boost depending on what's going on. -- I make Films and Website for people

Nice one thank you. Will end up putting it in the same place as you I think. Looks good. -- I make Films and Website for people

You got a link to those bits please, I like the look of that I fancy being able to keep en eye on what's going on but don't want to drill into the dash. -- I make Films and Website for people

I dident spot him but who knows where he is hiding. -- I make Films and Website for people

Fitted my wind deflects so thought I could keep up with this on the way home. -- I make Films and Website for people

When I picked up the impreza me and the misses had about a 3 hour drive home with it and she said every subaru we go past looks at the car or waves. I didn't really notice but after she said something it seams to be a subaru thing and I am a fan.

Will get quotes for mods and see what is said but hopefully it won't get to silly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just some wind deflectors but dident get chance to fit them. Also making plans this could get expensive.

The first box of bits showed up today not a big mod but I guess this is how it starts.

Your meant to disclose factory extras as well so I guess they get you that way if you say I didn't know it was a modification, I would expect some wiggle room on small mods. I am sure a splitter or different grill might slip by even the odd spoiler. Also comes down to how you deal with the police when stopped I think. I have been pulled over (38 in a 30) in a polo with some basic visual mods had only been driving about 6-8 months. I just spoke to the police told them what they wanted to know and was sent on my way didn't even look over the car. I see it on road wars all the time people kick off and the police take a longer look at their car.

Insurance love any reason not to pay out. I would think the problem with that guy is he had a rather big mod in the post of facebook it lists other mods like alloys and induction kit. Not sure what the police will let you slide with but I guess we should tell insurance about all mods. Just wondering what people prices have changed when letting insurance know? I did a google and some people went up 10% others went up nothing. I think it's stupid thought if I fit a stainless exhaust it shouldn't put the price up as who wants to replace a blown factory exhaust with another factory one when you get lifetime warranty on most stainless. Whats next if you don't put factory tiers on it will be classed as a mod.

Dam missed out looking forward to the next one even more now.

Nice to see everyone tonight and get some plans for my car.

Thats cool, I just wanted to see. Will try to make it :-D

Who is going to this then? I am going to try and make it but have to see what time I am done with work.

Yer this is getting a little daft. I guess its not the end of the world to get a ticket on the day if it all goes wrong, but should be simple as they want car clubs there and lots of people will not bother if its to complicated.

Fitted a sun strip dident get it perfect due to a few bits of dirt so think I will take it off and might try again when we get some better weather. The matte roof looks amazing :-D I would do mine but not sure it's worth it on a dark grey car.

Just to be more confusing if we want track time how dose that work with the club stand?

Yer that's not overly clear then haha, I should be coming and the misses will be with me in the same car so guess I would need a club ticket for me and a normal one for the misses.

Think I will be able to make this. :-D just need to check for work. Anyone doing track time as well? Is it worth it?

Btw was that you running up Aswell street about 4.45?
