Default TheDoctor's GC8

So this is my new blue GC8. At the moment it's doing its time as our 'good car'. We've also got a little Honda Integra.

While it's doing it's time as our daily it'll be keeping the roof racks, as we use them for carting around our bicycles, and won't be getting a huge amount of loving in the modifcation department. Also we're saving to buy our first house so there's not a lot of money to go towards the WRX account.

Once it has done it's time as our daily and we've replaced the Honda with something nice for Hanna (new style Mini Cooper or MX5) and got something like a Forester to ferry the bikes then I'd like to turn it into a dedicated track car (dreams are free).

Once I do start modding it I was thinking of slightly more speed but mostly better handling. Not going to go over the top in the power department. Stick to a new exhaust system, improved intake and an upgraded top-mount (hopefully a process west job). Get it all tuned and leave it at that.

That way I can keep using it as my road car and take on the track every now and again. Handling wise, I want to achieve the same thing better handling but not going extreme. Hopefully some coil overs, sway bars, strut braces etc, plus lighter wheels, better tyres and upgraded brakes. That way it is still a nice daily and in the future, if it does become a dedicated track car I've got a pretty good base to start from.

In the looks department, get rid of roof racks, get rid of ariel and if possible replace with BMW type one in the rear centre of the roof, spotty covers; white wheels, STI oversize spoiler, new grill (want something with no Subaru badge), delete boot lock; front lip, bolt on wheel arches, re-spray in the same dark blue or complete new paint job in black (again dreams are free), replace orange indicators and orange inserts.

Same photo as in my intro thread:

(sorry haven't taken any others yet)
