Whats the weakest on a UK spec scoob.
Soon to be running over 300bhp on a MY00, When i tell people that ill be running this to other scooby owners, i always get the same comment about the gearbox, so all i want to know is on the UK spec cars whats the weakest is it the gearbox or the engine. Also i would like to hear any comments from owners of UK spec scoobs which are running over 300bhp on standard internals and gearbox.

You forgot about the clutch 
That suffers with much over 280lbs of torque, the gearbox will die if you put too much torque though it, but torque is what you want for drivability so......

I dont think there was any change in the gearboxes between the late classics and the latest blobeye'd WRX's, the strongest box out there that subaru do is the one fitted to the STi, but its heavy, considerably heavier than the WRX box.
