I'd keep it stock and just drive it. Hard.
+1 keep it stock. Would love to have something like that but no space for extra toys.

It was funny/sad how for years at the SCCA RallyCross National Championship, there would be two Evos entered and between them they would win all three AWD classes against a sea of mostly Subarus. (The car that would win Modified was also the car that won Prepared, with a different driver. Winning Mod with a Prepared legal car.)
One of my friends got so tired of placing second that he sold his STI and bought an Evo X MR.
The GC chassis handles like magic but dat Evo VIII/IX was a monster on course.
