Ok here we go, I have do a bit off research but could use some practical advice. I want an early WRX (not fussed about an STi) 1996 - 1999 ideally due to the look. Yes im a 90's kid and yes I think they still look good. But are the worth doing up or will the probable millage of 70 to 100,000 mean more problems than there worth? This will be a genuine (at the wheels) 300 - 400BPH project so will be doing things like gas flowing the head, uprated tubo, uprated fuel pump, 4 pot or even 6 pot calipers, uprated shocks you get the picture. I am NOT here to slap a big end can on and lower it so it "looks cool" I also want a fairly standard on to start as this will be my car and I don't want to fix some other guys mistakes.
That is the general outline of things not even looked at a specific car yet but looking to get one for 1500 - 2K then take it from there. While I know my stuff, I don't know subaru's that well so everything the fluid now as this is just the planning phase so feel free to put in bright and not so bright ideas. I am also based in Edinburgh so who are the people to talk to about getting work done. I know of RA motorsport in Perth who have done some nutty things but is there anyone a bit closer or in Glasgow who are any good?
