New 2.5 WRX - What Basic Performance Mods?
I've a new WRX 2.5 euro import on order (not Sti) and fancy taking the basic power level up a notch or two, without going crazy. Thought of using Andy Forrest (on recommendation) but would appreciate some advice on what to have done... maximum spend £1000 - £1500... Any advice appreciated and particularly from any 2.5 owners who have had mods done... Cheers

Agree with Steve, namely :
Ninja Exhaust from Scoobyworld, especially the Sportscat downpipe (dp alone is £300) *
Green panel filter (about £50).
Remap from Andy - £585.
I've used Andy before, and would thoroughly recommend him.
* Not sure if your model still has 3 cats - ie in the up-pipe, downpipe and centre section. If so, you can get rid of them all and still pass MOTs with the sportscat.
Lastly, you might want to think about dealer based Prodrive upgrades, which are similar, but more pricey. I take it you have a warranty to worry about ?

PS. Consider a Whiteline rear anti-roll bar and steel droplinks from Demon Tweeks - £150 or so in total. Will dial out that understeer nicely.

Thanks for the replies so far ! ... Yep, warranty is an issue.. and I know you can only fit the PPP to UK cars.... its a bit of a risk on the warranty front doing mods, but you either risk it, or stay a boring b***er until the warranty expires!
