SIDC FAQ
Daniel,
Try the above link first...
Very quick cars, about 300bhp on Jap fuel, in the UK have to be run on minimum 98RON (optimax or Tesco99) or octane booster used at all times to avoid detonation.
Worth getting a divice called a KnockLink fitted which gives a warning of detonation beforte anything major happens.
Short ratio gearbox revs upto 8K if memory serves me right.
Aluminium bonnet and suspension parts and thinner glass (not sure about the glass) to lighten things a little.
Had one for about ten days until the big-end was diagnosed as being on its way out, managed to get my money back. Not a blue one is it, just in case.
That's a brief summary, lots more info can be found on Scoobynet and Sidc forums.
cheers

I got one of those puppies.... 
Basically as described. Revs to 8k. Massive TD05 turbo, all the STi refinements. I think its the 2nd fastest accelerating estate car (beaten by the 400BHP Audi RS6)
You'll need to run Optimax plus booster or Tesco plus booster (Octane Boost costs about 2-3 quid a tank.)
Definitely worth thinking about Noisekiller - the car sounds like the boot's open when going down the road (especially motorway.) 120 sheets will fix this.
Don't forget to check the insurance, as its an import!
