PPP, check your geometry and make sure it has decent tyres on it. From there on suspension and brakes.

PPP = £1600-ish. Should give you around standard STi straight line performance.

Depends on your budget etc...

Prodrive Springs, Anti-Lift Kit, Rear anti roll bar, droplinks and 4 wheel geometry (circa £600) is an excellent mod.

decat exhaust, panel filter, fuel pump, remap (circa £1000)

Get some Flaps on it first. Cheap and effective mod.
Look around aswell before going down the PPP route, if it's out of warrenty you might find a better performance package elsewhere.
You can't go wrong with black

Default New Too

Just thought I would drop in and say hello,

Picking up my first Subaru on saturday morning...so looking forward to it.

traded in the rx300 as it is fast approaching my 30th birthday and had a panic that I was turning into an 'old man'.

just bought a 2006, Subaru Impreza WRX STi (PPP) in black.

Cheers

Funnily enough you can get them from your Subaru garage, or Revolution.

The original PFFs cost around £1800. You can get the replicas for £695 from Wheelbase. They lOOk burried under that kit though!?
