<< << I would be going to and from work which is mostly 30/40 mph so would not get the chance to take it above 3k revs >> might sound a strange question, but why buy a Scoob if you arent going to go above 3000 rpm?? Unless it is for a weekend blast?? >> Certianly would be mate Sounds good. I like the 30 odd mpg if cruising on a motorway

<< << For £20 of Fuel i am looking at around 120 miles, thats not thrashing it anywhere >> I get around 150 miles on £35 worth of Optimax >> Is that with sensible driving or mixed? I would be going to and from work which is mostly 30/40 mph so would not get the chance to take it above 3k revs

I certianly know that lol I am currently driving a 2.0 Focus and the book figures say 28 combined mpg but with the current engine mods its more like 23/24 For £20 of Fuel i am looking at around 120 miles, thats not thrashing it anywhere Would i be looking at something similar in the STi if i dont take it over 3k revs
-
TBH I still like the idea of a STi with either PPP or Triple 3. Although i admire the different models I want something as new as possible. I think the only other model i would get would be the JDM STi which is really nice although an import. Does the PPP or triple 3 make much difference in MPG?
-
Will the type RA holds its value more?
-
Nice well i have decided that if i can pick up a sti for £15 with under 20k on the clock i will be very happy
-
Well i got took out in it yesterday and man was it fast lol. Certianly faster than the standard STi i took on a test drive earlier that day. I know that I would need a car that has either ppp or triple 3 as to not be left behind but it didnt feel as solidly built as the newer models. << Its the weight that makes the difference P1 is 276bhp and 1280kgs = 215bhp/ton newage UK STi is 265bhp and 1470kgs = 180bhp/ton newage uk sti ppp is 300bhp and 1470kgs = 204bhp/ton wr1 is 315bhp and 1470kgs = 215bhp/ton The newage car are stronger and that where the weight has gone to. Mine with a remap is about 250bhp/ton (315bhp and 1240kgs) >>Does yours have ppp or triple 3 or is it just a standard STi?

Well i have a budget of approx 16K Ideally i would like to get one of the current STi models as i really like the shape of them. I have driven a bugeyed STi ppp and tomorrow i am going to try a blob eyed STi without any enhancements. I know its not going to be as quick as the bug eye one i drove but realistically i cant seem to see a STi with ppp and low mileage for 16k from a dealer. So I have thought about getting a standard sti with low mileage for about 14/15 and then slapping 333 converstion as i live in Keyworth where TSL is (even thought the drive home for me would be rubbish as its 30mph lol) Today my mate text me and said he had brought a P1 and i was looking to see how a blob eyed 333 would compare as I dont want to spend all that money on one and it get pi$$ed all over Any advice would be great Cheers
-
How old are they?
-
Yea standard for standard. Unfair to start taking modifications into account imo
-
Yea thats what i am trying to work out. Apart from the highly priced WR1 what other car could touch the P1?
-
How would the sti compare to the P1? Would there be any difference between the two or would it be a close run thing? Would the 333 pack make much difference? A friend has just brought one and he thinks hes the dogs lol (well he aint that wrong really) but I was thinking what other scooby would give him a fright? What about the WRX300? would this be able to keep up?
-
Probably stick to a uk model then. Want as little hassle as possible if something did go wrong
-
Yea I am not keen on the new shape so i will be watching the used car market even closer. When does the new shape come out?
-
What with being on the market for one of these thats a damn good price. Only downside to it is for people who are selling there cars means they might not get back what they wanted for it!
