Short term plans are to get it on e85, possibly with an evo 9 turbo for some more top end power. Also want to replace the cheap bc coilovers with something a bit better, will be speaking to MCA and doing some reading as to what I should go with. And of course some new rotors and pads for the brakes + the usual swaybars and other suspension mods.

Small update on the car, progress has been much slower than I would have liked but it's slowly getting there.
New coilovers sourced and installed. Racing logic coilovers with 10kg front and 11kg rear springs & mca helper springs all round. Not what I was planning at all, but they are set up well and performed well in an TME evo competing in the state sprint series. He offered them for a price I couldn't resist. The battery that came with the car was pretty rubbish, failing to start the car most of the time. Replaced it with an SSB Powersport lithium battery. It weighs 1kg has 400cca and starts the car every time. I do have to disconnect the negative terminal when parking it up for a week or longer as ancillaries do drain it pretty easily. The engine bay has got a bit of a tidy up to make it somewhat respectable. Rocker cover removed and painted black, Dryden motorsport heatshields installed. New meek intake pipe + 4.5" k&n filter enclosed in beatrush box installed. This is the before. And after. Next up will be tidying up the interior of some loose items and mounting everything properly. Then off to Tokyo for an exhaust and tune. Will likely stay with 98 for the very first tune and just get out there with the car for a bit, then return for an e85 tune and evo 9 turbo. Will need a surge tank and some other fuel supply supports to safely run e85 for a track orientated car. The baffles in the fuel tank on earlier evos are pretty poor I'm told.

Oh, and last and least are the dryden motorsport tow hooks. A little wanky perhaps, but they will no doubt come in handy sooner or later

Will disconnecting your battery will mean your ecu will be resetting itself regularly?? Can you run a trickle charger with that battery? That's what I do with mine as I only drive it a couple of days a week.

That's not something I had really considered, and hasn't been an issue to date. Just acting on advice that was given to me when dealing with lithium batteries.
I'll raise it up with the Tokyo guys when I see them and see what they think. If trickle charging is the way to go, I'll do that.

Update on the WRX this time. It's sat around for a few too many months while I've decided what I want to do with it. Most of the aftermarket parts were sold off to facilitate the purchase of the evo, and the td04 was bolted back on but that was all a bit too depressing. I decided to outlay a little into it and bring it back as an enjoyable street car. A solid weekend on the tools and I've got it back and running.
TD05 18g (kinugawa) Process West Verticooler Perrin inlet id 1000cc injectors dw65c pump Ultrex TBE Far from the spec it was previously, but it should make for a nice daily driver. I will be staying on E85 as that has served me well. Tokyo will be retuning for me. *I will be rerouting the boost control lines soon, that was just to test and take it for a drive.

Haha. When one car starts to give you the shits so you go back to the other. At least it removes the desire to want to jump in the evo for milk runs

Has been a while since I've logged back in here, not sure if it it still used or not but will put a little update anyway.
Have been through the ringer with a couple of cars, more than I care to go into but definitely have had enough of buying into 90s boxes. Was at a bit of a crossroads before I decided to sell all my racecar shit and invest the earnings back into my trusty betty. Here is where it has ended up. Engine: Blouch 2.5xtr 8cm (impulse 2nd hand buy - may be shopping for a 1.5 again after the tune) Process West Verticooler ID1000cc injectors DW65c pump Perrin inlet Cobb SF intake (50/50 on actually fitting this, another impulse buy) Ultrex EL headers Invidia Downpipe to Invidia G5 titanium catback Suspension/Body: MCA Red coilovers Brembo calipers (front only) DBA 5000 rotors W5 pads Braided lines SSR GTX01 17x9 +38 wheels 255/40 AD08 (2nd hand for fitment testing - will be buying into AR1 or NS2R) Velo fixed back seat AGI half cage (still to be fitted) Seibon Carbon Hatch (Another impulse buy yet to be fitted - noticing a trend..) Engine and driveline is getting a bit up there now at 178k kms, but I do have a spare low KM motor sitting in my garage if things don't go to plan on the dyno. Gave it its first turn over with the new parts yesterday and everything seems good so far. EL headers and exhaust is a little offensive, but fortunately it isn't a daily driver anymore. I'll leave you with a couple of low resolution potato pics.
