I came across this:

Can that really have 285bhp, on what looks like a standard uk turbo just with an aftermarket exhaust?

Cheers,

Thats about right, its a WRX and that year (same as mine) has 260ps as standard (256bhp). Full de-cat may give upto 30bhp.

On UK fuel it would probably be more like 270-275 though unless OB is used.

 

ah ok, couldnt tell it was a wrx, where's the giveaway?

Bit odd how he hasnt mentioned that! Thats why i assumed it was a standard uk turbo!

 

Rear wiper, electric aerial on lhs rear quarter and Nardi steering wheel. I've got one so knew what to look for!

 

rather worringly I have one too - But new to the scoob world, so i'm just learning these things!

Knew about the aerial tho - should have spotted that! DOH!

 

I'm new to this lark too only had it 6 weeks or so, but I have been a sponge on Scoobynet for 6 weeks - spend far too much on here when I should be working

 

yup, it seems like a slippery slope... It's an amazing forum!

I went out at lunchtime yesterday, in the lovely sun, in my new car, did about 35 miles... Where did i go? Nowhere for any purpose

 

you will do that a lot, ive had mine well over a year now and i still do it, when i travell to work i go the shortest route through the tyne tunnel, when i come home on late shift and the roads are dead i go the long way and through newcastle and across the tyne bridge

and ive done that every time scince i got it
