Default Ive Made my Mind up

Ive been reading through all the past threads, and Ive made up my mind about some things I want done to my car. Its an unmodified 2002 STI.

Im really not interested in more power. I just want a few small things to make my car a little more enjoyable to drive and to look at.

This is my wish list...

Cat back exhaust
Lowered suspension
Rear sway bar
Wheel alignment
and Retune.

Is there some place among the recommended workshops sticky thread that can do ALL of that in one go? I dont get alot of time off, so I want to be able to hand over my car for one day and then take it back the next day completed.

Please dont tell me to do a search, Ive done that, but because all the new members get told to do a search, the threads with any real information are now a little outdated.

Is there anything else that you guys think I should add to that list?

Tony of "Tony flood" mechanical on kew st in whelshpool is a great source of information about all models of wrx's sti's.
He is involved in the rally scene and motorsport (track work, autokharna) and he has an infinate amount of knowledge on the wrx's/sti's and the best and most effective ways to extract the most out of your cars power and handling with maintaining reliability and street driveability............

The liklihood you'll get it all done in one hit - in one day - is very unlikely..

And the threads are updated regularly.. things dont change that often in Perth. So those workshops are still the go!

Go see wilkinson suspensions for all that stuff. They'd do the alignment etc with the install. And go to a subaru specialist for the other stuff.. MMS/RMS/speedwok/Tenagah etc etc..

+3 for TBE will make a noticable difference

Waste of money retuning with a catback. Get a turbo back exhaust as mentioned by others to see the full gains.
