How would a uk sti be lighter than than a classic turbo? Your talking bugeye onwards for a uk sti.. And all impreza`s since then have just got more and more heavy.

i agree, they r gettin heavier,and the reason i only got 240 bhp,was down to half worn plugs,dodgy knock sensor,and my td04 that had done 135k!,looking to put on vf35 with walbro 2 sort it!

Perhaps I didn't word that right...
At the time that the OP's car was on sale in the UK, there was also another Impreza on sale, which featured an STi engine, it was called a P1. Although a lot of stuff was removed from the STi V Type R to turn it into a P1, it is still technically an STi, and so one could argue that there WAS a classic STi Type UK.
If you want to be ultra pedantic you could also assert that the 22B Type UK cars were also official UK classic STi cars....
Up against either, a UK Turbo 2000 pushing 280 would have a hard time, and against a mapped P1 or 22B, little chance.

fair comment but there is some seriously quick uk turbos about!all depends on mods etc,back to the original question,i personally think that a 280/280 uk classic turbo will be good for matching if not bettering a standard newage uk sti!

I think what BLACK V5 is saying is that - BY DEFINITION - the only UK "STi" is from the New Age Bugeye onwards (therefore heavier, etc.). The OP has caused a bit of confusion by mentioning "UK STi" of which, officially, there was NO such badged Classic.
But as Pat says, unofficially, one could regard the 22B Type UK and P1 as the UK's Classic 'STi's'...

UK/Eur Bugeye v.7/Blobeye v.8 WRX - 1385kg dry
UK/Eur Bugeye v.7/Blobeye v.8 STi - 1470kg dry
Your UK car is 1235kg dry, so is a whopping 160kg lighter than the New Age WRX (like carrying two 12.5st blokes around in your car!)... And a positively gargantuan 235kg less than the STi (three blokes!!! lol).
(add about 20kg for all fluids)

No. Your Classic UK car is 1235kg dry.
The heaviest Jap Classics topped out at 'only' 1300kg dry (MY99/00 v.5/6 4-door STi). The lightest ever Classic was the MY93 first Jap WRX Type RA at a paltry 1170kg dry.
The UK New Age cars kicked off at 1385kg dry (WRX v.7).

Oh here we go again with the "classic is faster than newage" debate so i shall end it now
1. a UK car with 280bhp WONT be as quick as a new age STI with similar power due to GEAR RATIO's.
2. The quickest production car that subaru have produced is a new age car, it was 2 SECONDS quicker than its replacement to 100mph with a similar p2w ratio.
3. You cannot compare a 280bhp car against a 265bhp car
