, but if you want to give me the funds I would happily buy one. 
But I would probably go for a Litchfield T20 or T25 first.

The ride and acceleration are a lot more brutal than my poor old WRX Hawkeye and the steering is a lot heavier but it should give my forearms and wrists some exercise rather than what they normally do at night.

Nice one Tyron, welcome to the bugside
When can I have a spin just to see how "standard" my car feels in comparison?

No immediate plans for any major power upgrades but I do have a mapping session booked with Bob Rawle for the 17th of October
, it should be able to have dual maps on Ecutek so I will ask Bob to leave a standard map and a performance map possibly with pops & bangs. 
Should make me popular with the neighbours. You are all welcome have a jump in the passengers seat anytime but the ride is a lot more hard than a 'standard' Impreza.

If there was one of those around back in june I wouldn't of bought my car!!!!
There lovely cars, packed with quiality bits,
Atleast you won't have to swap the wheels (Rays wheels), exhaust (Ok you'll need to decat) or suspension as these are pretty much the best money can buy
You should be able to sell the brembos on, get some of the K sport money back!!

Cheers Glenn, looking forward to taking it out for a really good blast.

The wheels could do with a refurb TBH, other than a remap with Bob Rawle I am going to leave the car as standard, plus I think it should be possible to have a dual map on an Ecutek remap with a higher bhp map with the pops and bangs.
The Brembos are really good and give a really positive feel but I suppose with so much weight stripped from the car they work a lot better than on a standard car.
I am now in two minds whether to fit the K Sports or to leave the Brembos on. 
Does handle well though

Hey!! Stop!! Don't encourage him to mod her, took me ages trying to convince him not to Leave her standard or at the very least keep the standard bits, she's 100% all there so it'd be a shame to spoil her. The last few Tommi Mak Evo's i've sold were lightly breathed on but still had the original parts so they sold quite quickly, people do like the special editions to be 'As God intended'.........just my personal opinion I think it'll hold it's value nicely just as it is but a remap would be nice!!

If Sti thought it needed k-sports they would have fitted them. But thats just my opinion.
