S202 to RB320
 
Hi guys


looking for some general opinions.


Had my S202 for getting on for a year now and whilst I love the beast, my mind is turning to getting something slightly newer and a little more comfortable. I've been looking about and quite like the look of the RB320, but I see it has a 2.5ltr engine and I've seen the thread about the engine failures. :freak3:


Does anyone have any experience of the RB320? Any comments and constructive advice would be most welcome.


Thanks

Don't discount the Spec D sti as well if you want something a bit different, same engine and a trip to the mappers will see it having the same power as the RB320 is giving if not a bit more.

For any of the 2.5's even if it's in mint condition I would say keep some cash to the side for pistons/headgaskets as they will most likely be needed at some point.

thanks buddy


Have found a couple of (what look to be) nice Spec D's on the market but once you look closer under the hood they've had more mods than Katie Price.


Would I be generally advised to stay clear of 2.5s then?

This is my old Spec D :)

Ask me which one is better ;)
