Hi

I am seriously thinking about selling my v7 STI (with TSL 333, group N no cat exhaust, running 330 bhp, verified by powerstations rolling road) and buying a v8 T25....

OR... Would i be better putting on the Type 25 suspension and changing the turbo to the twin scroll version (if this is possible)

I am aware that ther is nothing wrong with my car and it has only done 27,000 miles from when i got it brand new... Am i throwing money away by getting a type 25!!

Feedback would be most welcome

Cheers Paul

 

There are a few Type 25 owners on here, and I see you've already found one that is for sale on here. As you are so close to Tewkesbury it might be worth paying Iain Litchfield a visit as he also has a T25 for sale.

 

Depends on what you want?
If you want rid of your V7 2001 JDM STi and want to go for a V10 2004 model T25 then go for it, you will also have to throw some money at it if you wanted to go for a twin scroll setup, easier just to replace your car with a V9 2003 JDM STi and have it remapped.

Is that you back in the land of the living? Hope you had a reasonable time down south. I am not too happy at the minute my car is off the road for a week at least with hopefully just a dead coil pack. Ordered it from Subaru in Inverness but can't get it till Satuday.

 

Sorry to here that Steve, been trying to get ho;d of you for a while, did you get my e mails? Just looking at possibilities at the mo, hope your motor is sorted soonest m8

I see you have a type 25, so what do you think, worth the money or should i modify my car, suspension etc?

Cheers Paul

 

Best speak to Iain, I don't know enough about the other versions you mentioned. All I can say is the T25 is hillariously fast, has no lag, and just flies from any revs, the torque these cars have is huge, and really low down, mines 380lbs/ft at about 3700 revs. If you can afford it get one

Plus I just got 320 miles out of 52lts of fuel!!!
