2wd sapp makes a good track car?
Obvious track prep aside I'd say:
full bushing kit
uprated springs (the choices here are vast)
race seat and steering wheel for control.
car needs a diet
widest, best rubber you can afford
Ok that gets you in the turns with a stock scooby. Get to the turn first and leave it first.
330 brake kit. Stainless hoses all around. New fluid.
Get the motor above 330bhp. Stage I or II sure.
Spend your remaining budget one some driving theory or outright lessons. Make sure the #1 factor (you) is upgraded. Left foot that bugger in to the turns and power out while the scooby runs scared.
I assume the above means a relatively stock WRX since you can't do much to them before you gotta bin that hideous crankshaft.

The Sapph has crappy rear suspension compared to most modern sports saloons. You can get it to handle well with a modified rear beam, geometry changes, bushes, shocks and springs, damper and other adjustments. You are starting with a base car that has limitations but with enough work you can make it handle well. It has the capability for very easy power though and this makes up for its other failings.
You're in Singapore and you have a Sapphire Cosworth? How did that happen? You must have the only one there.
