Got something similar planned next year for mine but will be using a variation of the 2.35 litre engine.

I'm sure you'd just be able to squeeze that out of a GT30 (0.82)???

To answer some of your questions, the two things I get asked more than any other is, How much? and what's the wife say about?.:) Answers:- £ : To date I have spent 58K..... 15K for the car, 36K on engine, & 7K on new brakes, the front splitter & bumper are spray/baked every year, wheels are blasted & powder coated every year (2 shades darker than normal) and anything that had a spec or mark is replaced new. Wife : I basically just tell her to shut up, and keep her knees together in case her fanny starts whistling when I floor it ;) only kidding.... 20 yrs married and we are cool. Amazing spec, but needs a great turbo to set that alight and I totally agree with the others in that this is a waste on the road going for 600. |
58k:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: love these cars but jesus 58k i wld have to seriously be looking at some other machinery for that kind of wedge
dont get me wrong lovely car but its still only a scoob and when i had a p1 ud be surprised what bits are used on interior certainly not high quality lovely car though have to agree with bighead(my old car) over 500bhp especially on a car as light as p1 is wasted u will never get to use it |
I appreciate your remarks regarding cost, yes it's high........but I have worked 70 hrs + every week for 5 yrs building my business. As some of you may or may not know circumstances arise whereby one needs to lose money before the end of the financial year.
You are restricted to how you can spend it. I get more enjoyment from spending it on my car than giving nearly 50% of it to the government in Corporation Taxes. I saved myself 11K by having the engine built. Regarding the bhp being to much for road use , you guys are correct, it is, however it;s not as if the car cannot be driven normally on the road, and when it comes to track days (like I intend) I will have what I need. |

The car has been developed for road use and motor sport when completed and I still believe it's the right car. Time Attack proves that Skylines, Evo's, Vipers and others struggle to match the all round performance of an Impreza. |
dont get me wrong i agree with everything u say about the p1 i had one and still belive it s the nicest looking impreza (i have a newage now)and was the best car i have ever driven and that was with a paltry 320bhp so a 450-500 wld be an awesome machine
i know bighead has spent a lot of dosh on his as well fully understand the loosing cash bit i think mere mortals wld struggle with this expenditure but u guys running ur own business are different to us wage slaves:) again top marks for a lovely car and must be fun pissing off a lot of more exotic machinery |
£36k :eek:
Good work - live the dream :D |
£40K is easy spent when you start modding imprezas properly.
Stunning example mate, fair play on the build. :) |

Fair play! Thats all i got to say!

Stunning example mate, fair play on the build. :) Quite easily:) I think I'm at around £40k now with mine but that includes my car. So it was obvious his spend had to be higher due to being built at RCM :D:D The good thing with his spend is that it has been over time and not paid out in one lump as you would have to do for a better spec car as what people are saying ?? Getting into debt for a £60k is totally different. Plus his car will leave all the cars he could buy for similar cash ;) |
so your the bugger who was holding Mat up doing my car ;)
i bet there is a bit more gone in to that engine than the spec shows |

Next to be fitted is this.
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i3...e/DSCF1616.jpg Bought it for one reason only...security. Trouble is we seem to think the drivers airbag will need to be deactivated? and if we do that we are not sure if the ABS or the Motec will sense something is wrong because of the warning light? |

I know Marty's just about to have his engine mapped for race fuel, 125 OCTANE:thumb: These cars running over 500bhp must be scary on the road, that's going to be my next stage of mods:norty:
£ 8.00 per Ltr & £ 400 to fill Impreza tank!. Marti must have the same pistons as Matt & Olly. Mine are the same as theirs only difference being the top 5 mm of the piston has a different design for more compression for race fuel. |
Hoping for good weather this coming Sunday. (Time Attack at Snetterton)
The car will be on the Subaru stand and along with others will be having a few parade laps. All Olly has to do is finish anywhere and they have won the 2008 Championship. :thumb: |
