Default Perth WRX forum experts challenge - Sub 15k performance Subaru

I have two reasons for this thread -

1. I want to see what different opinions we get.

2. I need some ideas.

Say you had a budget of just under 15k, and you wanted a performance Subaru... well what would you build and why?

Lets assume the initially purchased shell has a tidy body, or you can quote it as being bashed up a bit for cheaper value and price a repsray.

Lets keep part prices sane ie no "brembos for 300 bucks cos a mate of a mate got some off ebay Finland"

You can choose new parts, used parts, etc etc. Lets say labour is at backyard mates rates.

This Bug for $11,500 Add an ecu & a vf34...Done
http://Carsales link

Or This CG8 for $14k with Motec M800, VF29,12kg centre diff, Suretrack, Cusco suspension etc (huge list!!)


Carsales linky

Trying to build something for 'only' $15k is a moot point with cheap modded cars on the market. = bargain win!
