It depends what you're after in terms of light track action? Want to go quickly? Have loads of fun? I'm sure a lot of people would say an Impreza needs a good bit of work to feel more track friendly.
Who here owns a Subaru?

Gurdas:
Vita do not waste your money dude you drive a non turbo! Most I would do is fit lowering springs and wheel spacers. Don't go spending a load of money for nothing.
Ouch! Gutted for you! I have no idea how mine is still in tact!
And then your bumper will get ripped off at the same time 
Change it when you need to, e.g. when it slips. Until then don't worry 
If it judders it may just have uneven parts on the clutch plate. Give it a couple of good launches with a bit of clutch slip. Should sort it.
If not, I can thoroughly recommend the Exedy Organic clutch. Mine has been amazing.

Yup anti-judder.
Flywheel, mine is just skimmed.
Fuel pump is currently walbro, changing to either a new walbro or HRC shortly as part of a refresh.

Yes.
If it's PPP'd then it has a sports cat.

Sounds good.
Funny you mention that, as someone put that video up on Facebook not realising it was me! My face was like
as I had no idea that I would add a good 10mph to my 1/4mile trap speed from my remap. I was very happy!
My opinion? Don't bother. Get a 2005 UK car, or find a JDM hawkeye if you really want the hawkeye looks.
I really really really don't like the 2.5 engines unless they have been rebuilt and remapped by a reputable specialist.

You are right. The hawkeyes are pretty much all in the higher tax band, simply due to their manufacture date. 2005 would indeed be a blobeye too.
Buy something like this:

I do wonder if mine be remapped, engine be fine, engine almost on 80K....mine a Hawkeye registered in December 2005, so lower tax bracket
Oh love your video....
Oh and BC coliover are rather good....mine where fitted a few months ago
GJUK
BCs have made a very noticeable difference to the handling. Great mod to make!
This one's better:
ScoobyDoo69, what front grille have you got mate? Is it a custom jobby or off the shelf? The blobs look so much better with an open grille between the headlights.
Hoping to maybe finally get my own in a few weeks - cannot wait
Thanks, I did it myself. Cut out the badge, sanded, smoothed, primer'd and painted.
ScoobyDoo69 what dump valve do u have on yours love the sound of that
In the above 2 videos it was a HKS SSQV dump valve, but I have long long ago blocked it off completely.
I've still got it. Boxed and all.
I'd be willing to sell at the right price, but let's keep it off here. My email is in my trust.

It ran over 360bhp/360lbft at EuroSpec, and at Powerstation it ran 373bhp/335lbft.
So realistically around 370bhp, but I always just say 360/360. Although currently it has 0bhp as I have no turbo

It has helped have a lot more power throughout. I don't think I will get such a big boost again from such simple mods!
Twist.
Lol at gauges falling off
I still ran a 12.5 despite the distraction haha.
That's rather cheap.
The 2.5 engine isn't up to much, not great power, or fuel consumption either. But very reliable.
Not sure I can recommend over a Mondeo for anything other than the fact that it's a bit different. If it was the 3.0R I would very easily tell you to go for it. Instead, I'll just recommend to test drive it and see how you feel it compares to the other alternatives.
