Unhappy

Do I hang on to my MY93 WRX and tune the bollocks off it, set up the suspension add decent brakes etc. or should I go for something newer (and tune the bollocks off it etc etc)?

I keep swinging between a new Spec C, a bugeye Spec C (or Type RA), an STi 5 RA or sticking with what I have. I think the Mrs is going to disown me if I carry on

At least you know your own car pretty well, and you would need to get extra horses out of the later models to make up for the extra weight.

Higgs, what spec was your WRX and what spec is your STi? My WRX is currently running about 290bhp (exhaust, induction, ECU and boost controller)

Dave,

Go for the Spec C.

Read the report in EVO and they love it. If a car can hold it's own with an M3 CSL and a Porker GT3, then it must be special also, beats spending £30,000 like I have on mine to end up with a slower car than the Spec C

To say I nearly lost my car to a central reservation trying to give a Civic Type R what for, nearly came a cropper and felt like a right ****. It has taken me till now to calm down.

My car has 350bhp (MMmmmm) but you wouldn't have thought so. Nippy bleeders those Civic's
