the engine rumours are blown way out of proportion all STI V5s had issues its jus your luck to be honest. lowest av heard a P1 gettin a replacement block is 23k and some have 130k on the clocks on their original engines. go figure!
yes typeRs are similar but the insurance is loads more. they do benefit from the jap goodies tho. a had always wanted a P1 tho since i first saw one. love the look of them they jus stand out way more than the run of the mill classics. 22B is the dad tho but way too dear!
heres ma P1 a jus love the look but its only my opinion!

6.5k for a p1? when i was looking around in dec i opted for an evo 5/6 over a p1 as i had heard horrors on engines going pop. though 6.5k sounds a fcuking bargain? i thought they were more like 10 still.
Imo i'd still go for aother evo5 or 6. theyre coming up to 10years old and they'l start flooding in the uk like the evo 4's and wrx scoobies have! hold tight and wait a few months imo! Tis what im doing in a ctr then i'll chop in buy another evo.
