Knockhill trackday start of June last year. Had been considering mild mods at that point, but nothing had been done. Turned up with a stock WRX (save for the mudflaps) and watched and listened in absolute awe at some of the cars there.
Within 2 weeks it had a backbox. Within 3 months it had droplinks, uprated pads, geoemtery setup, new rear wing and splitter.
And the story unfolds from there.
