Iv possibly just acquired one of these, but I can't decide what to do with it! Does any one know if the 2.5 lump out of this is any good for anything?? It's a non turbo. If the engine is good for something I would probley break it if it's not I'll just sell the whole car, most of it is pretty good but it's left hand drive! Can any one shed any light on it before I get to involved !!!
Much appreciated

The 2.5RS also featured several external cues from its overseas brethren such as hood vents, a hood scoop, and a rally-inspired rear spoiler. The 1999 model featured several changes: the newly designed "Phase II" SOHC version of the same 2.5L engine featured a slightly higher peak torque (225 N·m (22.9 kgf·m; 166 ft·lbf) vs. 220 N·m (22 kgf·m; 160 ft·lbf)), the wheels turned to a standard silver, the interior got an update, and US versions became visually similar to their Japanese contemporaries with an updated front bumper borrowed from the Japanese Version 6 Impreza WRX STi. 2.5RS models became available in sedan form in 2000

FROM WHAT IVE READ CAMS ARE A BIG THING IN USA BUT ALSO TURBO BOLT ON IS AN OPTION

The owner is American I'm pretty sure it's a us model on brittish plates, looks the same as my facelift classic but with a low level spoiler. Any ideas what it's worth?

The american version, IIRC it was because the turbo models could not pass the emisions test. Pretty rare over here good novelty value!
