Now she's a dedicated weekender......where to from here

Sooooo, if you read through my build journals, you'd have noticed the build for the S204 was to make it an all rounder, to drive everyday and thrash around all at the same time.
Goal posts moved a little with the introduction of a daily driver that's predictably comfortable (and boat like), far from performance but fantastically well built and whisper quiet.
This makes the 204 a dedicated toy.
Where do I go to from here? Nowhere really, although the compromise in the car can be negated a little, most likely with the removal of a majority of the entertainment system, and transplanting it into the daily drive. Thus giving the 204 a bit of a diet. Fit up a harness and possibly a few choice cusco braces and go do a bit more racing
I love the car the way it is, so saving some weight and adding some rigidity is all a plus i think.

Excellent you can make this a true DD now Jme.
I need to have ride in it soon before you thrash the tits off it. I will show you where your OBD port is at the same time ok?Posted 11-02-2010 at 02:06 PM by American Dave

Weren't you looking into one of those harness bars a while back but baulked at the idea due to loss of room for the youngen?
Or will you rip the back seat out now?...Posted 11-02-2010 at 03:09 PM by XT43

Dave, you'll keep!
Burke not sure yet mate, probably just pull out the rear seat for now.Posted 11-02-2010 at 08:52 PM by EXPLICIT

Strip it, cage it, race it?
On the other hand it is a rare and lets face it...expensive...car, would it really do anything that a well thought out regular STI can not do for similar or less money? Once it has turned in to a track car it loses the stuff that makes it a special and valuable 204 and will become another modified Impreza.Posted 15-02-2010 at 09:24 AM by Papa Het

Agreed. Just pull out the rear seat, whack in a harness and go have some fun. There are a number of reversable options available if i wanted to lose some serious weight, but they're not high on the priority list, and much prefer honing my time behind the wheel instead

No mate, the daily is a very fuel efficient MB C200.
