Whats available......
in uk not alot off the shelf, as far as engine mods. being a tt not many people into the tuning thing, compared to the impreza, as it gets complicated.
check out the "b4 legacy" site on yahoo groups loads of info and there's a bbs.
usual stuff though, a/f, exhaust,brakes, susp.
body mods, not sure as it's not my thing.
hope that helps

Not the car to buy if you can't resist tweaking...
even mild breathing and exhaust mods can and will lead to very expensive early demise of primary turbo and actually make the VOD (switchover from primary turbo to primary and secondary) gap in torque curve worse rather than better.
Brakes can be improved (though they are bigger and vented at the back compared to wrx) and there are some suspension tweaks available from cusco, prova etc (as well as factory mods from the revision D cars that can be applied to earlier versions).
I also think that exhaust mods etc would spoil the very civilised character of the car and would be missing the point somewhat - this is the ultimate Q car and the best thing about ownership!
that said I have made some changes to fuelling and management and also some cosmetic mods to interior and items like the horns!
btw - you will find precious few people qualified to work on these cars in the UK and virtually zero after market/bolt-on items.
just to prove it can be done: check out the 500BHP monster at:
