tech question

A front sway bar(if evos need them), good tires, and a good alignment would do alot. My new WRX was aligned by a guy in the cities(http://thealignmentguy.com/) I am highly impressed! Last thing is lots of seat time!
Its not a suspension mod, but I would think about getting harness and possibly a seat.
To tell where stuff needs to be do some research on forums for other people setups and liking. Start at what you find and change stuff to what you like.
-
smaller turbo? you are't gonna want a lag monster if you are road racing.
-
it spools pretty decend acually, when i went for a ride, it was pretty crazy.
-
a 2.3L stroker, some nuts, and a good harness.
ok now seriously lol, look at the whiteline bumpsteer correction kit, and the front roll center kit. evo's push, and those help a lot. along with what faber said, a GOOD alignment.
solid diff mount bushing wouldnt be a bad idea either, and some better front and rear sway bars if you dont already have them.
Are you going to tune the car on this year?
and what cams are you going to use?

I have been looking at the bumpsteer kit and other stuff like that.. I already have aftermarket adjustable sway bars. Yes The car will get tuned in a few weeks at DB more than likly. I run HKS 264's for cams. The turbo spools just fine and dont think Going to a smaller turbo would help unless I was doing autocross.
I was thinking about getting a aftermarket intake manifold but the buscher ported one makes more power than most! so for $140.00 Its a good deal.

i couldnt begin to give you advice on what parts to consider, but i want to know when and where so i can watch you beat the shit out of that thing
-
an aftermarket intake mani wont help your midrange..i dont think.
plus i hate buschur, so i wouldnt buy it.IMO, you should get some 280's. What fuel are you tuning on? race gas, pump, e85?
-
shift knob, first and foremost.

I don't know you or your car so i may come off sounding like more of a dumbass than usual, but if you haven't done road course work before, with that much go-fast stuff you'll want very good brake pads, fresh excellent brake fluid, and a harness. I've been happy with porterfield R4 full-race compounds and ATE Superblue/Type200 fluid. I don't know what race-compound pads are availabe in your caliper but im sure somebody does.
On most street cars the #1 thing you want is adjustable front camber when doing road-course work. Mostly this will help save your expensive tires on a big heavy car. Bring a white marker to the track with you and use it to get an idea of how much tire rollover you're getting at all 4 corners. Also a very accurate tire pressure gauge, a notebook, and keep careful records of what pressure seemed to feel good and manage tire-rollover and tire wear appropriately.
If you are looking to spend money on toys, the #1 thing you'll do to go faster around the track is an in-car data logger. You want to know position via GPS, RPM, TPS, g-circle, and speed. You can get into one of these for under $1k, which I am going to guess is small change compared to the rest of the work on that car.
If you're an accomplished road racer this is all dumb stuff you already know, and I apologize for wasting your time. If not, the biggest gains are made by making the driver faster, not the car.

Ive done my research on the manifolds and nothin beats the stock one ported up to 8,000rpms The car with make plenty of power.. Id say around a 10 sec 1/4 pass.
I thought about 280s but would need springs and retainers also for this summer i'll stay with 264's. More than likly going to go with a double pump and E85 1000cc-1200cc injectors (NOT PTE) I also have Meth Injection..
I do have harness belts and the stock seat is fine for racing ..
-
Maybe I can talk tufte in to making a brake cooling duct for my car also...
-
you'll probably want to upgrade brakes then also, the stock brembo's will get weak fast.
