Those wheels are optional on JDM cars, but are standard on the 17" version of the Spec C.

Why is the site talking about the 2004 scoob? They've only just released the 03' version..

It didn't seem to have any bhp/torque stats on the site for the 2.5.. Any idea of the outputs/0-62/weight?

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that the intercooler is smaller.. as they're achieving the extra power through larger displacement, not higher boost. You'll actually find that they run less boost than the UK spec models.

Cor blimey... 300 bhp at low boost... what would be the capabilities of a thing like that after a bit of tuning? Surely *much* easier power gains than a stock 2.0...
