1 is very rare as only 400 made, the other.....well its just a P1 Sorry just stirring...

www.22b.com will advise on the 22b, and I think there is actually a site just for P1's too but don't know the address.

To my knowledge, the people on 22b.com are probably the best to speak to about the P1 too! in terms of the technical background that is.

Thanx for the info Guy's, i have quite alot to read now ! But i am leaning toward the P1 as it will be used as a everyday Car. How much power can you get with standard internals ? What would be a good figure to aim for ?

Get used to the P1 standard first

0-60 - 4.7 secs
Top speed - Over 160+ mph

280bhp is enough

You could get the "ultimate" P1, sometimes called an STiV Type R, the extras includes a short ratio box for 0-60 in 4.3secs, adjustable diff and i/c waterspray, thoroughly reccomended

Parts can be a bit of nightmare on 22Bs, availability but mainly cost. There are a few guys on 22b.com who can get bits. I wouldnt want to use a 22B as everyday transport IMHO. Have a guess at the price of a new bumper for a 22B ?

Cool...
well I shouldnt pass comment really as I have only driven the STi, and funds prevented me considering a P1 or 22B but what the hell, they are ALL really impressive beasts and I'd have any of the above in my garage

Think it's going to be a nice P1, although a 22B is a nice car it will just be to focused for me as an everyday car, cheers guy's your help has been invaluble
