Smile Hello

Just would like to say hello to everyone

I own a standard 2005 wrx but itching to do some basic upgrades to it so any tips/advice will be greatly welcomed as my knowledge is very basic.

Thanks in advance

Welcome

Basically, all is dependant upon your budget. Easiest way to gain a noticeable difference would be with an ECU Re-map (Lots of well respected people on here who do it, and will even come to your house to do it for you!). Other then that, there are lots of different things to change, such as suspension etc, although they may require more hands on knowledge or getting a garage to do it for you.

Laza.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, im guessing the wallet will take a big hit over time (hahaha) but for now a exhaust/filter/remap will be a good start.

Remap, check out someone like JGM (http://www.jollygreenmonster.com/), hes got an account on here and also comes highly recommended. Exhaust's have a huge selection, with my personal favourite being a Blitz Nur Spec R. Filters are also part of a huge selection to choose from!
