I wouldn't pay to much attention to what the logbook says. My old silver MY2002 Bug WRX also said UK300 and also came up as a UK300 on the insurance database.

he's a bit of a liability isn't he. I was just reading some of his comments in another thread and I have a feeling he actually has no idea what he's talking about.

The real problem is that there are some genuine newcomers to scoobys on here and if they read his drivel and think it's kosher they could end up in the sh! t

What yah talking about 400 bhp through standard wrx internals is fine based on guessing by an idiot.

The VIN confirms its a Model year 2005 WRX ... the UK300 was a type variant but still a WRX and not 300 bhp either !!
