the MY11 is a great value package imo and $10K spent right will get you a terrific road and track car.

+1 on that, awesome all-rounder

The other guys have pretty much got you covered as far as mods go but I will add that driver training (skidpan/trackdays) is also a great mod. It may not give you the initial thrills of say...more POWAAAR but it will eventually make you addicted to trackwork to the point where you live for it and others think you are crazy (a good thing if you ask me )

Congrats on the new car, enjoy it and the club.

Thanks again for all the good info, I ordered an Openport 2.0 cable from Tatrix last night, Im planning on buying a map from a vendor to suit my modifications and flashing the ECU myself, I like the idea of be able to flash it back to stock for servicing at Subaru or if I have warranty issues.

How about air mods?

Reckon it would be worthwhile to change to a CAI?

Yes but you will need to tune your car to get the maximum benefit and to run safely with the increased air flow that the stock ecu isn't tuned for, since the 06 models the stock ecu doesn't like increased flow from Cai's or TBE's like the older models which in turn could cause damage to your engine etc.

I remember reading an article a few months ago about the stock air box on the MY08+ wrx, apparently they aren't as restrictive as they used to be.

Will try and find the article tonight.

22 F and 24 R is good for a GD chassis, it's not the law for all chassis' and cars remember.

The new GH has different dynamics, so you would want a larger front bar to the rear bar.

Kinda like the Evo X where I have a 27mm front and 25mm rear.
