you just need to stop taking life so seriously. Re-check what I just said in the light of my self depreciation
and the rest of the posts in this thread. Laugh if you can.

That's why I am weird as I post flippant observations to try to stir up some intel gents.

as opposed to a £1500 100k wrx wagon with imaginery engine build in the pipeline....tuning god ditchy
its called modifying rather than writing and dreaming about it fitting different parts to a car that you like
i know you dont know your models very well but its nothing like a spec c other than a roof vent as it has large rear spoiler skirts bumper spats etc

Please find me a 54 plate wagon for £1500, I'd like to buy another one.Funny how you always try and turn things around and make out like people are lying, well sorry to disappoint you but I don't do tall tales all the evidence of my recent purchases is in my post history for anyone that can be arsed to look.
Oh you got one thing right though, your car is nothing like a Spec C and never will be, it is however a "Spec P" Fake Track.
Just remind us all about the "mods" you've done to your superior poverty spec uk sti that's sooooooo perfect out of the box that you've spent a fortune on "Modding" it in a vain attempt to make it something it's not.
oops that sounds familiar, are you sure it's not actually a WRX as you seem to be doing exactly what you give WRX owners stick for, do I sense some wide track envy here, surely your not trying to make your car look like something it's not.

Don't see why an sti is any better base car for big power, moderate maybe, but big power anything that will need changing on a WRX will need changing on an sti as well.
I suppose the only advantage is the stuff taken off the sti can be sold on for more money than the equivalent WRX parts, but whether that would make up the difference in the initial outlay for an sti over a WRX is debatable.
Not all WRX owners want a high level tea tray stuck on the back of their car.
Agree with you about the omega though, good cars.

if i wanted to makes it look like a spec c id have to remove most of the bits fitted. only spec c part i have is a flap like lots of people fit.
its not about money its about enjoyment, try dont just talk about it. unless you dont have the skills to do it
then again its pointless spending money on an old high mileage entry level estate i guess so just talking about it makes more sense

The best Impreza ever made was the Blob V-limited WRX. It has the stronger jap engine, AVCS, STI styling and faster gearbox. So basically map a big turbo for 430/350 and most expensive sub 550bhp STI's will have to yield.
Truly a great car that probably can be found for peanuts.

Oh god here we go again. 
Fat Thomas, you do realise that this isn't 'your' site. Everyone is allowed to have opinions without the fear of being harrassed by you every sodding time.
At first it was a little amusing, now it's embarrassing to have someone like you in this community.
Back off and let other members have a discussion for once.

Only thing it is missing is a 6 speed conversion but for what I payed For it I would have needed at least another 3k for a half decent sti so not worth paying the difference for me anyway. Had I have planned to go to 400 bhp or just over when it eventually gets rebuilt I would have definitely gone with the sti but for my situation it didn't really seem worth it.
There's my 2pence thrown in anyway!

Some of us are doers and don't feel the need to shout about stuff, I'm quietly pottering along doing my own thing as I have always done.
As for skills, don't make me laugh, you'd need to live another 100yrs to get close to my level mr desk jockey.

For starters I can pull out a quote by one of fat-toms's STI clique stating the jdm WRX engine has a safe limit of 450bhp and that several people have run them over 500bhp. But I don't feel I have to stick up for the far superior WRX anymore so I'll leave it at that..
Throw in the cooler air of a large turbo running lower boost and you have one master of STI death.
I'd fancy 500/350 a WRX against any 500-700bhp Newage STI.

Gearbox will take 500/350 and engine if driven accordingly. 450/330 would be wiser though and better for street pawnage and tbh we are still very much bolt-on at this stage.

Just for clarification....MY04 JDM WRX V Limited Rod part number = 12100AA081/190.....MY04 UK WRX = 12100AA081/190
Pretty conclusive...
Edit to add............The MY04 JDM STI and MY04 UK STI uses part number 12100AA180....This also includes the MY04 Spec C

Is everyone that ****ing sad and lonely that you have to come
in here and slag off every other member just because their car
isn't as good as you think it should be?
Time to grow up boys.

It would turn a 450bhp WRX into a painfully slow car. It would delete it's own purpose.
AFAIK most Subaru's would handle power better if you heat wrapped the Turbo, downpipe and up-pipe and protected that vulnerable cylinder 3.
I'm guessing this is one of the things Innovative Tuning did on their well used stock 666bhp 2.5 bottom end.

The 6 speed gearbox is the biggest compromise in the Impreza universe.
