.......fook me a lad at work has just bought a "500 bhp" scoob...........and it's SO NOT 500bhp.........i drove it today and honestly felt like a cossie on greens (st 2) would eat it alive......i told him it was a 300bhp car and he really needed to get it checked out.....he's got loads of receipts for big this n that and i cant see much of it on the actual car..........when driving it , it feels like it has a big turbo on it but running no boost.....only does about 10mpg and uses loads of oil.....didn't think scoobs used oil......i've told him to go to motoscope for a r/r print out to find out a bit more about the car/power/fueling.....

....it's an 02 sti uk 300 that's got loads of bills with it, i'm trying to find out a bit about it but the lad really knows fook all...........and i'm not that clued up on scoobs.......i really do think the car has had money spent on it but the parts have been changed before it was sold......

Used to have a Scubaru with I think MD240 turbo running soemthing like 20 psi, stainless decat front to rear, Wallbro fuelpump, piggyback ecu and probably something else I forgot about...very very nice to drive! Quicker than most things and without drama. Was a very smooth and quick car!

.....fuck knows if thats the same car as the photo is a few years old.............and fuckn hell it's 250 mile from u anyway.......

Paulo P

I don't know how far away from me it was when it was taken but if you know anything about Subarus you'd be able to tell the difference There's no such thing as a sti UK300 for a start

A giveaway there is the front splitter, rear spoiler, brakes, wheels.....need I go on

As above, john pye in bishop really knows his stuff. i was in there not long ago, him an his son just built a scooby rally car, got nearly Ł100k in it he was telling me.

Get the spec list for us to have a look over? ...it really shouldn't be passing that much oil though, so thats a bit of a concern. A drive of a genuine 500bhp Impreza should be really impressive once wound up, certainly enough to think it wouldn't be hassled by a Stage 3 Saph.


Cheers,

.....fuck u.....as i've said i know fook all about scoobs and am only trying to help a lad out so stop being a smug cunt..........(but u did help by saying there's no such thing as a sti uk 300)

Alan_D

There is such a thing as the UK 300. It was a limited run of(obviously) 300 WRXs which had a few styling mods etc. I presume your friend is saying the engine has been built at some point? Do you know the rough spec?

It may be that the previous owner has had an engine capable of running 500bhp built for it, and just not had it set up...for some strange reason. Or he could of course be talking shite.

cootsie

Try AET Turbos. Wakefield is maybe too far away from you though.
