Default anyone had experience of a JDM 03 WRX?

As above - interested in buying one - any comments, thoughts, info, etc - I understand it to be around 250bhp?

U're correct, it's 250ps. Earlier Bugeye JDM WRX only have 2-pot front brakes, the later ones have 4-pots as per export spec.

Why pay high insurance premiums for a car that is no more powerfull than a UK 03 WRX with a PPP ?

Good point Danny - I have max no claims and I am an old git so i am working on the assumption that I am better off saving money £'s off thje cost of the car. Plus this should be a downgrade in insurance ptremium (well possibly) as I am going from JDM Sti (classic)

Point taken though - what would I pay for a good 2nd hand UK 03 with PPP?

£12k - £13k seems to be the going rate for a 2003 WRX with a PPP. The only thing you will not have is a rear wash wiper and Xenon headlamps if you bought this instead of the Jap version.
You may also struggle when you come to sell it..
