Need help from the experts (you guys&gals)
I luckily find myself at the crossroads of What should I do ?
The 3 years are up on the warranty & the dabbling can begin proper!
BUT...Is it worth throwing money at my 99 UK Turbo which I've had from new or part ex it for an sti. Basically I need more power & have been looking at the Sti Version 4,5&6's but I like my UK car & would love to hear from both the STi & modded UK camps on what you reckon !Can A Modded UK Model mix it with the imports?
If I keep mine , that gives me atleast 3k to play with! Would love to reach the 280+bhp group.
Cheers

Its your choice but i had a my uk99 with the below mods and it was quicker than my p1 with full de-cat (not much though)

Hks Hyper ti tip full system
Scoobysport downpipe
sti intercooler
forge re-circulating dump valve
Vf23 hybrid turbo
Link ecu (mapped by Bob Rawle)

The results were = 317 Bhp / 279 lb

The P1 is so much different to drive than my old car.

Its your choice.

Hope it helps you.

I got an sti ver5 4 door that is knocking out 3000bhp,it has quiet a few mods and every time i race a uk car it knocks the socks off them.

Go get an sti you will wish you had got one a long time ago,you wont look back.
