Default Which Scooby....>?

I dont know that much about Scoobys, so would like your input on which to go for and why?

I think an import would be the best to go for like the WRX STi 280bhp
I dont like the scooby wagons
And the shape i prefer is the P reg shape (Dont know what shape you would call that)

Ill have about 5k to spend on 1, so would hope i could get sumink decent for this.

Could you also list the power of the car and any other extra bits that would make it a good choice

Many thanks

All depends what you want it for.Ie,if you use motorways alot a RA with it's close ratio box is no good.

The shape you like is Facelift,if you get say a STI4 it'll be around 280ish I've thought.

For some good info read here. Subaru Impreza FAQ

Now that is some good reading, I dont like the idea of the RA bing limited to 112mph alth 0-60 in 4.3 secs does sound good

The car is only a wknd car, i have diesel for the week and for work i have a van, i dont want a UK spec as they are well under 280BHP

So the model i like is the STi4 Facelift
I noticed they said it was 280hp 176bhp what is the diffrence there?

How would you go abouts removing the limiter? and would it be costly?

So having such a low gear ratio, would just drink your fuel, think that rules the Type R out for me.

5K might get you a V3 sti.
I used to have an sti 4, which I sold for £7400 a year ago.
It ran 294 bhp with a cat back exhaust, and 310bhp with a full decat.

Really, them kinda gains just from a exhaust?
That Sti, would it be a WRX STi, or st an STi?
