I have Car magazine from January 2000 with S83OSL against various other imprezas - RB5 PPP , 22B Type UK , Classic UK impreza , Scoobysport impreza and P1.It says mods it has are Leda suspension,Brembo brake pads and an exhaust giving it a dyno proven 308bhp.They also say its easily the fastest of the cars tested.Find it hard to believe it would stay with a 400/500bhp cossie.If you do a search on Google for S83OSL other stuff comes up as well the owner in 2005 used to post on Sccobynet and he had the car up for sale with a rebuilt engine.
