Sorry, like I said, I didn't know anything about it. If I see anything more suitable, I'll let you know.

Tk, you changed your mind on those little Datsuns then :?: :?: Want to come back into the Impreza fold, you do know there is a test to take before re-entry :wink:

If I were you, I would buy a STI2 RA, they re circa4k now, and have all the right diffs and DCCD, the only thing you really need to change on them for track is the brakes, and maybe suspension...otherwise they are pretty nippy out of the box!

Oh and ESL on here can sort you a nice little ECU upgrage for cheap as well that should see one over 300bhp straight away with a decent exhaust.

Yeah an STI2RA is the danglies. Had a play in one here, shifty at just 0.9 bar. When I map it up to 1.3 its going to be interesting.

Mind you an early wrx ra is as quick, just without DCCD, and available for 2k, some even come with a cage. Add Walboro, 440s, bigger IC and a cheap live mappable solution with 3D boost control :) and go hunting for bikes because cars won't keep up.

Brakes and suspension upgrades also a good idea to keep things in check, but there are a variety of reasonably priced solutions.

Not much will stay in touch for the outlay.

Brakes and suspension first is the sensible way, but who's sensible :D
