Australia AE95 4wd mods

before I start down the long road of modding this car I'd love to hear any success/disaster stories. My philosophy is simple, value-for-money, realistic mods without changing the car too much.

my plans atm are;
brake upgrade (bigger front, disc on rear)
springs & shocks (obviously)
engine upgrade (7A-FE, ports opened a bit, SC14 blower, megasquirt ECU)
headers & exhaust (obviously)

It's real hard to find good info about these cars and what works, what doesn't.
if anyone thinks a ae95 can beat a STI or EVO, they probably have too much time and money. I bought this one because I can't afford a Liberty.

Some people out there are questioning if the drivetrain is up to handling more power, but from my experience the clutch will be the first thing to go, thus protecting the drivetrain.
