TL;DR
- Separate NA twin goals from turbo WRX goals before copying a parts list.
- Tires, alignment, brakes, oil temperature, and driver consistency often matter more than peak power.
- Track use needs fluid, cooling, and validation discipline.

Build sequence
| Step | Focus |
|---|---|
| Baseline | Fluids, plugs, leaks, tires, brakes, and known maintenance. |
| NA twins | Tires, alignment, brakes, oil temps, driver consistency, and modest power expectations. |
| Turbo WRX | Boost control, heat, fuel quality, drivetrain, and conservative calibration. |
| Track use | Oil temperature, brake fade, tire wear, and repeatable sessions. |
