Tidgy

I know someone who bought one with a blown engine, they were going to get it rebuilt, untill the price of the headgasket kit came in over £1000 :o Needless to say its still sat there gathering dust

ABW maybe?

Rep seems ok, not very impressed with their dyno setup though. They force air through the top mount rather than flow from the front end. It wont see that much airflow in the real world so not ideal. Make sure they road finish it.

unless 10 turbo's were bought, 10 units for £60 = 600. to be fair i expect it's a typo

its another keighly trade centre, just renamed itself dozens of times.

lol, this is the longest welcome thread on record hahahaha

It's clives prestige, they'll fleece as much as possible out of the customer

yeah, they have jumped way up int he past few months

£20k for a wrx type r http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/impreza-wrx/subaru-impreza-2-0-wrx-type-r-v-ltd-coupe-5-speed-manual-rare-original-ltd-edition/5851480 rarer than an sti type r but even so :o

last one that came up in the auctions in japan went for over £70k and it was a total dog. One for sale in hong kong for $110K. by the time you pay tax and import costs etc your not gonna be far off 100K landed price 22b's are worth some serious serious money now

p1's?

second one, 22b bpody kitted type r http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/impreza-sti/impreza-22b-tribute-by-launsport-japan-one-of-a-handful-built/6145589

So times for some amusing prices on cars, starter is a right corker, £27K for a P1 :o http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/impreza-sti/only-22-000-miles-subaru-p1-as-new-condition-fsh/5652926

Save yer money and dont bother is by far the best way to install it

yep as suspected there is a whole lot more to it than is being said. Usual 'expert' crew of houghy and hammond stirring the pot with half stories and picking a choosing what info to bother to read or understand. leave em to it.

Heard summit about it but not been up to ask what cracked off. I suspect there's a whole lot more to it than is being said. Always is. I'll see what i can find out.

assumes its not a wrx block. Out of the 2.1 and 2.5 for a road car 2.5 is way better, cant beat low down grunt it has :D im only running 330bhp, but 380ftlb haha

lmao, it's turned into a honda bash hahaha good job OP has a scoob now lol

hahaha

!Removed!, i totaly missed this thread or i would have mentioned about the brakes :( Spacers or different wheels are your only options. The brembos are pretty crap as far as clearance goes. even AP 6 pots are better :o

O did you know you an get a Type R with awd straight from the manufacturer,,,,, hahahaha :D All good banter :D

Is the existing block semi closed or open deck? If so 2.1 will be a cheaper option Its really down to what you want to do and budget, the heads will mate to either option, personal choice would be closed deck converted 2.5. whats in my type R now :D Built right a closed deck 2.5 will do 500 and still be reliable.

Welcome. Where about's in derbyshire? I'm up Ripley way. First thing, run it on Vpower or tesco 99 only. Nothing else. Oil changes every 5k If a fault pops up or its not driving right, don't try to drive through it, get it checked out and if you have to drive it keep it off boost and under 3k rpm. You can do more damage if you try to push when its not running right. Keeps up with servicing and maintenance

All cars of that age are prone to it. It's the 2.5 engine that is a dog from the factory, wrx and sti. Rebuilt right then they make a great engine though.

purely out of noseyness Who do you work for B?
