v7 sti was the last sti hatch as such, until the 08/version 11 came out
i dont mind the bugeye buts prefer the v8/v9 looks, and because subaru didnt build a sti hatch i just got a wrx, hence why mine now looks more like a sti hatch than a standard wrx hatch, all u need is the sedan parts and you're sorted
front guards, bumper, splitters, lip and spotlight covers and there's your sti front end, (i didnt bother with the grill as the grill has sti on it and im yet to source a genuine scoop)
ive put some other bits on like a rear waist spoiler, end caps, etc but that was personal preference
my td04 does well enough for what i need, i dont do straight lines, id much rather attack the track than hit meremere, the more twisty the better so i like taupo over hampton (havent hit hampton in mine yet but have in a mates ef9) so im happy with the response i get from the small, but quick spooling turbo, at some point i wouldnt mind giving the ecu a reflash/tune but a new turbo is not on my list of things to do
if i win lotto or somehow end up with lots of money, i will look at putting maybe a sti engine into the car and tweeking that a bit, until then, my car goes fine
if anyone wants to discuss whats been done with my car just let me know
