I had a 06 foxeye wrx in blue (FE06HKX). Fitted a roger clark full decat system, induction kit and a few other mods, fuel pump etc. Remap from a bloke with a laptop and it was ballistic.
Sounded amazing.
I put a pair of STI brembos on it, so had to fit the prodrive wheels to miss the bremboes.

foxeye wrx
Bought the car (2006 foxeye wrx) new from motorpoint for about 16k and set myself the challenge to get it quicker than an STI for less than 20k. At the time no one was discounting STIs (and I liked the idea of a wolf in sheeps clothing)
Also, the insurance on an STI was horrendous (have to have tracker fitted and kept in a garage).
WGT of middlewich fitted a new Roger clark exhaust, induction kit, and fuel pump and a collegue of his did the remap. Total cost about £2000.
I bought a pair of STI Brembos and disks from Lichfields for £750 and also fitted front and back uprated antiroll bars.
The standard wheels wouldn’t go over the Brembos, so had to buy a set of Prodrive wheels off ebay.
I have since traded the car in for an MY08 STI and think it was quicker than this, so reckon it was about 310 BHP but the low down torque was its best feature. The only downside was probably the standard intercooler. On hot days it lost a lot of power, but on cool crisp mornings it felt like it had 400bhp.
I was reliably informed (also checked out the ministry web site) that you didn’t need the CAT for the MOT. You just need the burn correct and for it not to be burning oil.
If you type in FE06 WRX in google you will see the car with the prodrive wheels on in the Motor depot advert. Photos of it at SPA trackday in my profile.
