Not wanting to sound an ****, but if your going to be modding it for more power, why not go for the STI? Will be more money initially, but will have more power.....

hmm, might struggle for a 2003 STI for £7k yeah

Although, were you meaning buying a WRX for £7k then modding? As you could save the modding money and buy the STI out right?

STI is the way to go
I have the same budget and would prefer a Blob but if I cant find the right one a Prodrive Bug it will be
