S202 to RB320
Hi guys
looking for some general opinions.
Had my S202 for getting on for a year now and whilst I love the beast, my mind is turning to getting something slightly newer and a little more comfortable. I've been looking about and quite like the look of the RB320, but I see it has a 2.5ltr engine and I've seen the thread about the engine failures.
Does anyone have any experience of the RB320? Any comments and constructive advice would be most welcome.
Thanks
Dave

Don't discount the Spec D sti as well if you want something a bit different, same engine and a trip to the mappers will see it having the same power as the RB320 is giving if not a bit more.
For any of the 2.5's even if it's in mint condition I would say keep some cash to the side for pistons/headgaskets as they will most likely be needed at some point.

thanks buddy
Have found a couple of (what look to be) nice Spec D's on the market but once you look closer under the hood they've had more mods than Katie Price.
Would I be generally advised to stay clear of 2.5s then?
