Don't add a CAI to this car, they're pointless and can even hinder performance. Credible tuners have come up with short ram intakes that do not fool the MAF sensor and do not throw lean CELs. Some high profile ECU tuners prefer to tune with the stock air intake system intact and advise against adding aftermarket intakes.

Don't lift the throttle while taking a corner at 80 mph. The car WILL drift!

Don't close the car door on your fingers.
Do replace the stock tires with SO-3's
Do replace the rear sway bar with a whiteline adjustable or similar
Do consider a VF-30 with engine management (Vishnu 2 or TXS 4 or COBB)
Don't go catless, it stinks
Do send me donations for my WRX Stroker
