What are the best mods to do???
Had our Scooby for a couple of months now, and after the initial hiccup with the head gaskets going and opting for the total engine rebuild she is now fully run in, and had just the odd one or two other bits done to her....
The car is an M Reg WRX import, and the only performance mod to date is the exhuast system which will be going on there on Friday.
So over to you guys, you all know your stuff.....what would u recommend next??

How deep are your pockets?
2.5 engine upgrade
22B bodykit
That would be a nice start....
In reality the minimum you should be running
is a full decat, air filter, upgrade the intercooler and then remap. All under a thousand pounds and you'll be happy for a while I'd have thought.

But possibly the best mod of all is an instruction day with Andy Walsh @Northweild!

looked into the 2.5 upgrade when the engine was rebuilt...but they recommended changing the gear box etc at the same time which made the cost huge, it was already costing 3.5k for all the work that was being done!!!!
the car has just come back from the bodyshop, had a bit of TLC on a few dents, a new splitter think its a Greddy style one??? different grill...and a set of new wheels....
what are your recommendations on FMIC's, Induction kits....oh and also what would you recommend to use for lowering to improve handling????
So many questions....but I guess I am just an out and out petrol head lol and the scooby isnt even the main car lol

Best spent £, agree fully with Essexboy and Milamber, a day with Andy Walsh at North Weald will make you faster than any Mod you add to the car.
