Question

Well as most of you know I was selling my pride and joy, and have, indeed sold my STi4, for a vw#ery good price I might add.
Now as luck would have it I have aquired a MY93 WRX ( I think possibly more than just a plain old basic model) that goes as quick as my STi4 and has a big **** off R on the back, and some badging I have never seen. The code on the DIN plate is GC48D which I think is a plain old WRX, but this thing bloody wails. It only came off the boat two weeks ago and is mint, and I mean mint, inside and out. It only has 41K kilometres on the clock and the documentation confirms this. Even the wheels are original and look brand new and the Nardi steering wheel and Nardi gear **** are like new. And the mats are like new and you could eat your dinner out of the engine bay.
Some people have said it may be a very early ST1 upgrade model.
What should I do:

A) Leave it as original.

B) Modify the engine and exhaust.

c) Modify the entire thing with engine upgrades and body work.

Picture attached.

Some answers please.

If it is a mint as you say, then it would be nice to keep it that way, having said that, the original alloys could be improved on

Those into modding are bound to have ideas

I just sold a 1994 WRX mate it looked like that when I got it also and I put HKS exahaust, K&N 57i, AVO TMIC and the cheapest and best upgrade the DIY ECU upgrade which I got from scott taylor(who doesn't do them anymore but david wallis does) and mapped it to 15.5 Psi ran very well then !
I have turned to the dark side now though and got a EVO 5.
