Default plans for my first rex

hey all. just got my first rex (Bug-eye WRX) and am now startin to plan out a mod list and order. ok...
right now it has a 3" TBE and a BOV plus a HD organic clutch and HD clutch plate.
next ill be lookin at a Tomei Manifold, STI TMIC and a Verso Re-Tune (and fuel pump) to keep me happy for a while.
then ill look at brakes, i think upgraded rotors and pads with a master stopper will be suitable becuase the car will not be tracked often at all. and suspension will prolly be upgraded shocks with the whiteline springs already fitted on the car, with cusco swaybars and sti struts. again nothin to wild as the car will rarely see the track.
and lastly ill upgrade to a more suitable turbo (undecided on specific's) and fuel injectors and may look at a STI mainifold (plus a re-tune i know will be vital for optimal performance).
i am gonna keep the the car lookin the same on the exterior and interior to keep, as "MRWATO2U" would say "stealth" apperance, may change a few small piece's like STI headlights and fog covers. only interior mods would be a DEFI display, rather then having gauges just havin a small screen that displays all the vitals for the car. i find this no so untidy and "show-ponyish" (sorry to all those with gauges )

please give me feedback on my idea's. as i said im VERY new to WRX's and turbos.
thanks for readin

All those plans sound good

dirving sensibly and youll be fine, I think Balistc ran 200kw on his stock for a while and im running 200+ as well.

Good list, do the verso last though, will save having to get it retuned.

VF34, TMIC, Bosch pump, injectors and retune (Verso for me) = 210kW at the hubs and drives really well, alot of fun.

I'd be looking along those lines.

However I'm already getting used to it so I think towards the end of this year I will have a major change in the engine bay - provided Ansett Resources does well on the ASX.

I am with you on the guage thing, although some do look nice most are just cop magnets.
