Here is one place that puts on track days. I've done 2 events with them. Very professional and great experience.

I would agree that you should track your car before you mod it. I did auto-x for a year before I started modding it more. I only had a catback. The biggest difference you will notice, get a new rear sway bar. Even a stock sedan bar on a stock suspension wagon will make a huge difference.

For track day info look here:

You only need a helmet (snell rated) and a car in good working order for TRACK DAYS... which is NOT RACING.
For racing, you need a LOT more... including a racing license...
You need to start with track days first.

so if i do keep the wag, i got about $2000 to spend right now on some mods
I already bought a catback, so I am thinking a used dp, cobb ap for starters.
Thasts about $800. Then, I am thinking a set of bigger rotas from subydude and either a set of good springs, struts or some bc racing br coilovers.
What do you guys think? I know thats closer to 3000 but whatever.
I also would love a seat, because the wrx one is so big and uncomfortable haha im only 130 pounds, but I don't wanna cheap out so I should prly wait to find a used bride.
Any suggestions to further my improvements in a better way haha?

i think you should keep the wagon. save more money but that just one.
make your wagon look nice would be great. there arnt a lot of nice wagon out there. and you have a white one. keep the wagon and make it nice.

Wow...I don't really care what others think, but when a bunch of loser thug a** teenagers chuck a huge cup of ice at your car because it's a wagon?
Makes me think I wan't an STI just so I stop getting harassed and my car doesn't get vandalized!!!!
Im so sick of Walnut Creek!!!
Every kid here acts all hard and tough, when they live in their 1 million + dollar homes. It just shows you what money and or egos will do to a kid.
