Talking After another Impreza advice...

I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of my 1998 UK Turbo. It's a nice car and everything but I'm after something more special...

I quite fancy a RB5... then again I'd love a P1 but a P1 would be an imported car and thats a big no no for my insurance!... So at the moment the RB5 is ideal...

Whats people's comments on the RB5?... I guess it's just the same as my MY98 with a few more bits and bobs... How did the achieve 240bhp on the car, is it just a different ECU?..

I was thinking of keeping my 98 then swapping some bits over to the RB5 like my H&S Decat Downpipe, Samco Intercooler Hoses etc.

Are there any other special UK cars out there?... Any advice is appreciated!

Hi

A P1 isnt an import, its a subaru/prodrive UK special edition

They are amazing cars ! One of the finest things about them is the way they are so well set up in the handling department for UK roads...

check out the P1 Owners club

Ouch!... They're a bit out of my league... I've only got around £12k to spend... I think it's going to have to be the RB5!...
