Hi All,
Just bought myself a totally standard, UK supplied,1998 Impreza Turbo, 1 owner, 49,000 miles. I have bought the car with the sole intention of using it for trackdays.
I intend to make a few low cost mods. What are the normal mods that you make on these cars? I have had Porsches for the last 15 years and the turbo 4wd scene is all new to me.
My first thoughts are: air filter, decat, rear box, strut braces, brakes, brake pipes, brake fluid, etc
Are the standard brakes good enough with better pads, fluid, etc?
What is the best air filter to go for ? Does the bigger bore rear box make any real difference?
Ant thoughts, advice would be very much appreciated

Kev

hi and welcome to the board.

best thing you can do for track days is suspension and brakes. a full decat will also help. some form of performance pad like ferodo 2500 along with better brakes and some form of adjustable coilover suspension. whiteline bushes and ARBs are rated on here as well. they do anti lift kits as well AFAIK.
