As far as engine mods go I know that porting the wastegate is a must if you plan on changing to a TBE...but that's all I've decided on in that realm. I'm kind of waiting to see what Prodrive is going to come out with for the Sti; I trust their stuff seeing as they do a lot of the engine mods for the actual Subaru rally team and some stuff for Ferrari I'm told. When's your next meet? I'll try to come if I can...

How long have you been around the Subaru boards? You have a better handle on what makes them tick than most people who've been around longer than the WRX has here. Your comments about the understeer are dead on- for people who know how to adjust their driving to the car, the STi isn't bad at all. And if you know about that, then you'll love the car with a 22mm-ish RSB.
However, speaking for myself, Prodrive's mass produced stuff for the Impreza leaves a little to be desired for what it costs. It's all good stuff, but you can duplicate the performance and craftsmanship for less money elsewhere.
