Work hard, sell it, and buy a rex

.
Best thing to start off doing is, get a new air filter, descent exhuast system. That's a good place to start i guess, pretty much the same thing with the WRX for quick and cheap power gains.
Or......go to NZ for a day and buy a wrx over there, considering their weak dollar to our aussie dollar you could buy a 1995-1996 model for $15 000 (then a bit extra to bring it to AUS) the amount of money you could save doing that would be huge.
Anyways enough of my ramblings
