P1 reliability
Hi people.... a question i need answered please...
Im looking into buying a p1, the car has only 26.5k miles on it, pretty much standard apart from a dump valve, exhaust and a remap by bob rawle...
I have never owned an impreza before and so the question i have given the spec of the car is how long will it last if driven conservativly... i have noticed a hell of a lot of these cars are having engine builds after doing relativly little mileage...
And one more question while im at it... how much power can the p1 engines put out reliably... and how much would an engine build cost? That was a few questions but hey, who else better to ask than the real enthusists.

shouldn't have any problem with engine if bob mapped it. recon its probably 310/320 bhp in its present form. you can get 400 nowadays but things can also break at those levels of power.

If Bob's mapped it chances are it'll be safer than it was standard! The map will be on file should you want to make any changes. (I would suspect it's quite nice as it is!)
As standard, I believe the engine/ECU was the Jap spec. V5 STi with "broquette" capsules in the tank to up the fuel octane a tad?
If the car is mint, with that spec. it's a very desirable motor car.
