Hello this is my first post. Im looking to spend about the 10k mark on a scooby. I was hoping for a year 2003 or newer, and something with about 300 hp. Can anyone point me in the right direction for which model to look at? And if they come with any sort of gadgets like changing the power to the rear/front wheels etc?

Thanks!

 

2005 blobeye with DCCD

 

For that money you're looking a 2003/4 UK STI with PPP.
2005 onwards UK STIs have a DCCD, easy to spot from the exterior from the lips over the rear arches.
I'd go JDM if possible, twin scroll turbo with better spool up for starters, but they don't have the burble.
10k would also get you a nicely modified WRX at 300BHP if you like subtlety.
And ,of course, welcome. Bob

 

wht is the difference between a 2003/4 car with ppp and a 2005 car with dccd and what is dccd? thanks guys!

 

I agree..............I have one.................

 

Not bias then?
Seriously though...dont think theres a better scoob to get for 10K with its very strong engine and box...so cheap to mod compared to others.

 

05 Sti uk with dccd
or jdm Sti but I don't no what year they get the dccd

 

This is the Subaru bumft:
DCCD - DRIVER CONTROLLED CENTER DIFFERENTIAL

THE PLANETARY CENTER DIFFERENTIAL IN THE WRX STI SPLITS ENGINE TORQUE IN VARIABLE RATIOS BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS. IT ALSO GIVES THE DRIVER A CHOICE – LEAVE RATIO CHOICE TO COMPUTERS OR SET IT YOURSELF.

The PPP or Prodrive Performance Pack is a performance upgrade offered by Subaru. It comprises of an alternate exhaust system and a re-map of the car's ECU resulting in a 30-40bhp increase in power.

 

cool, can you get 2005 stis for the 10k mrk?

 

Should do mate put a post in the wanted section and see what happens or have a look on pistonheads.

 

what sort of bhp do the 2005 stis have?

 

265 Standard
290-ish PPP

Have sent you a PM.

 

And they are easy to mod to mines got a full decat exhaust and a panal filter and a remap and mines running 335/352.

 

That's a hefty torque figure.

Ask for rich he will get you the right car for the right money, plus being a trader there is a bit more peace of mind, especially for your first scooby.

 

The remap waz done by chris todd at torque fo the devil In uxbridge

 

do all 2005 stis have dccd? What is the difference between the wrx and the stis? Sorry for all these questions!

 

Do a search, there's hundreds, if not thousands of threads on the differences.

 

right its a 2005 sti with ppp im after then! Is the ppp part written on the log book or something? Just so i can easily see if a car has it or not! :-)

 

I'm pretty sure its a kit thats fitted once a dealer takes delivery (don't quote me on it though!!) so it's not on the log book, but it is definately certificated and serial numbered. oh and welcome to the club! (and buy a shell reward card- you'll be there alot!!!!! hehehehe)
