Default Finally, pics from start to now

Hi, I bought a uk turbo bout 5 months ago, then lost my job, now got a job again, I had a 1.4 corsa before, but got a bit bored and impreza's have always been my favourite car, I feel lucky to have one at 21 so I really don't push it....... yet.
Here's the progress over the last 5 or so months

next plans are:

oil and filter change

bigger brakes

take up to 300-350 with front mount, ecu, turbo, fuel pump,etc but after I've had it a year, more than pleased with sound, handling and looks at the moment

nice lookin, but if you want 300-350 you'll need bigger injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure reg, 18g or 20g turbo , full exhaust system, bigger top or front mounted intercooler, air intake and heat wrap your downpipe and then a remap

thanks for the comments, like I said, because of my age I'm going to wait a year and see what is the best way to go on the power route. It has full decat so is sounds just right!

Immediate plans are service and bigger breaks.

yeah, but for my age and turbo car it's not too bad, I have 3 years no claims and am careful.

I'm toying with getting a bigger spoiler on the rear, not huge, what do you think?
