Well only recently went for a Full on track build. So heres a short list of the progress so far.
During the winter the car went through a lot including,
A genuine s202 carbon fiber rear wing
Whiteline roll center adjusters and track rod ends
Genuine Subaru front hub and bearing assemblies
Superpro polybushes and anti lift kit for the whishbones
BC racing coilovers
Godspeed two piece discs and performance friction pads on the front end
Dixcel rear discs and pads which i had to have imported from japan
Braided brake lines all round and fluid change with motul rbf600
Whiteline 24mm rear anti roll bar with links
Over the past couple of weeks iv'e fitted,
Water jet cut brushed stainless steel bonnet vents from singular motorsports in america which were painted
Saftey devices full 6 point cage.
Had the suspension set-up by automek in scotland and has made all the effort worth it, transformed the car.
Not too sure how to put photos up on here properly. need to set a flikr account up

Baffled sump through the winter and run slicks on my other team dynamic wheels. Have a full width diffuser to go on. Bigger radiator. But these will probably be winter jobs as I want to enjoy it as much as I can before it's off the road

Im running a bigger fuel pump, with a 2.5" turbo back, andy forrest mapped the car and its producing around 376bhp and 400lb of torque, with a high and low boost setting and also a launch control mode but i dont use that much.
Plenty of power just now, the 2.5 engine gets a bad name but people rev the nuts of them which doesnt help. My torque curve falls of a cliff at 5000rpm. I go with the moto, MORE POWER MORE PROBLEMS

Could you try and rework the turbo for the subie? Seen crazy things from trucks fitted into cars not sure how much more different a trains would be.
Also I know I'm not one to talk as I can't even drive yet or fully own a car yet so I shouldn't pass comment but I'm not a big fan of the wing. I know it's your car so do what you want but I don't think it suits. Something wing wise hat would be cool is to try and adapt a whale tail for a subie. That would be different.

would need a runway to get it to spool lol. The wing that's on the car is a genuine Subaru part, from a Impreza s202 you can't buy them new without proof you own one. Not the standard scooby look but the spec d which the car is came with a wrx flat one as the d stands for discreet.

Love them bonnet vents. I've toying with ordering a set for my Puma... Im guessing they are pretty universal. Just not sure I can bring myself to chop up (a very rare) carbon bonnet!

These vents were a specific kit for the car. It came with a centre vent as well but that's for running a front mount but if I fitted that it would just spill hot air back into the standard vent onto the sti intercooler. Singularmotorsports.com

Yeh I've just had a look at the kit. Tempted to order one and see if they will fit the contours of my bonnet

They come flat,but the slats bend easy. Come with a template as well so makes cutting just a wee bit less daunting
