Help & info needed on all aspects please
Hey guys,
Brought my 02 bugeye wrx not long ago and its time for the modding to begin.
As im totally new to the subaru scene any help and info will be greatly appreciated on where i can source these parts and what makes are the best to use.
Mods im planning.......
*Engine to turbo manifold.
*Some sort of suspension. most prob uprated springs and shocks. not coilovers.
*Airfilter/induction kit.
*Turbo timer
*FMIC
*Boost controller
Wouldnt mind a few other other handling mods but i wouldnt know where to start apart from strut braces.

Best value mod on mine is a Whiteline adjustable rear Anti-Roll bar !
Stiffens the rear of the car in corners and reduces understeer. Add drop-links at both ends to help.
Don't bother with a turbo timer, just run the car at 30 mph for a mile after a run, cooling air whilst moving is better than sitting cooking, imho.
Standard ecu can cope up to 1.5 bar, so get it re-mapped and save money buying a boost controller.
2nd hand STI struts/springs will also help, your choice really.

No problem, stuck at work till 8 PM.
As always it depends on your budget, Anti-Lift-Kit from Whiteline is a good addition (mine feels loads more "planted"). Strut braces... well I got them, but I can't feel any difference on the road.
Good luck with the mods.

P.S. cusco kid on here can source bits at a good price !
