I'm assuming that both you and Lee have done the most pressing mods first: brakes and suspension?
If not, that's a good place to start.
Be VERY careful about advice on here: you are better talking to an experienced tuner, or you'll find yourself first trying to sift out the "it'll be OK, trust me, it worked on my RST", boys and then, if you get it wrong, paying for an EXPENSIVE rebuild
The UK cars aren't the best for tuning.........

Can we start with a budget and model year?
I am assuming you have a MY99/00 car, 97/98's are the most expensive to upgrade due to the lack of a mappable ecu.
Say for example 1000 quid, for that your not going to do much, brake upgrade and a remap, thats all it will cover, boost you up from 215bhp to around 240-250bhp.
If you go breathing mods then 270bhp is a more acceptable figure.
If you want 380bhp then your in an area where its "how long before something breaks" if you dont upgrade parts like the clutch/engine/gearbox, and those will cost you a fair bit to do correctly (ie circa 10k, which is MY05 STI money and for the cost of your classic you have a much better starting base).
Classics are not cheap to tune, end of, engines and gearboxes (especially the pre 99 turbo's gearbox) are weak compared to the later new age cars, I would really look at your budget and realistically decide if you want to even go down this route because its going to cost you a fortune to do right, and skimping/cutting corners will only lead to one broken car, because it will break.
