You can't upgrade - maybe to a 22b but that's not an ideal drivers car - more for the polishing fraternaty

You wont want an STI 8 then, unless you get a Jap one (STI9 now), or a WR1.

Personally if you can stretch to it I'd get either a spec c or a bruddy brilliant T25!!!

Not sure on the cost, you may get an answer in the Drivetrain forum.

i would go for the wr1, 320 bhp, dccd-a, exclusive (like rb5), an 3yrs warranty, i have went for the sti as the wr1 is just over my budget (looking for a bigger house or i would have)

Thats my HO,

They'll probably take the **** cos it's an import. Could try to deal on a Type 25? I think they're going to retail around the £35k mark

New Spec C's cost around 26k, the limiteds cost just under 28k, its a car thats well worth getting (ive got one ) but i wouldnt use it for everyday use, its a bit on the harsh side for some (i dont mind though ).
