Alright guys, iv had my 03 wrx for 2 months now, she is absolutly standard in every way, i have put a scorpian back box on her but thats it!

Whats the best direction to go for performance mods, i wanna do little by little but wanna do it right!

I have a full system but only put bb on due to neighbours

dan

 

my first mod was a service with good oil, new plugs, new leads, new MAF, HKS panel filter & set of braided brake hoses & decent pads!

imo its better to have a reliable motor before you go trying to make it faster!

then it was suspension, intercooler, exhaust & now ECU

 

Car was serviced the day prior to pick up, with cambelt, aux belt and all oils replaced!
Plugs fair enough but what benifits is there in changing leads, also air filter sounds good!

Buying a hks is there any performance gains???

 

No gains what so ever! Just problems.

KnN panel filter if you plan on keeping the car for a few years, otherwise, fit a new OE every 6 months.

 

I always do it in the order, brakes, handling, power last. And I've done a few, I must be
IMO a car that handles and stops well can be as fast as one running more power point to point

 

so you rekon k&n rather then hks why?

Also what plugs are recommended!

 

aye what is wrong with an HKS panel filter?

 

for an Impreza, there r too many need to or can be replaced, for me, the chassic mod come frist, ie arbs, underfloor bracing, bushes.

 

KnN tried and tested and fitted by experienced tuners.
Don't believe the hype, 10-15bhp gains etc, bullpiss.
Filtration is paramount. The only reason i run a KnN is for service purposes, ie don't need to change it every year and the filtration is at least OE.

Use the search facility on here and search for "hks". Read to your hearts content and then decide.

 

Wheres the cheapest place to get a K&n?
Also what plugs do you recommend m8?

 

Just shop around mate. Mine came of Ebay, iirc c.£40. As long as it's a genuine KnN

I'm not sure on your MY. As you are pretty much standard then the standard plugs will/should be fine.

 

thanks for all your help mate!
