Litchfield Type 25
Just been out in a litchfield type 25 and OMG!!!!
I am in love with it! The interior i now want for my scooby and i wouldnt mind nicking that engine either!!

I concur, I was going to buy a Porsche or an RS4 but went for a Subaru because i love them....then once i bought it i found out about the Type 25..i am looking for one now. They are the nuts, they must be the top Subaru on the road..nothing comes close one would have thought??

i have no idea what year it was but it was either the blob eye or the hawk eye?! didnt get a chance to look around it just jump in it as he was waiting outside the house. I did see the **** end of it as he drove off but i wasnt concentrating on the plates just the amazing sound it made!! :-D
When i was in the car i believe he mentioned something along the lines of just under 500bhp?!

The MKII was 415bhp IIRC.
So much bull**** about peoples figures though, so you may find it was actually no where near 500bhp. Only way to be sure would be to know the spec. In standard form (as in Type25 MKII standard form lol) they are rapid enough. Not saying it is not...... but unless the source is trusted and all that.
There are only a few that Iain is aware of (obviously there maybe others) that have been tuned higher and nearly all of these were done via Iain. I have one such MKII Type25 engine in my Spec C.
At 500+ they are unreal as a road car. I have yet to know or drive another conversion that is as responsive and as brutal as mine, whilst still providing over 500 of each on plain VPower.
IMO it is way too much for a road car, as it is not just how much power is available, but it's the way it comes in. It is so accessible....... all too easily.
The only way of getting a PPP STi near that, would be to rip the engine out and put something else in!

I believe Iain offered the FMIC on Mk II T25s for those wanting around 450 bhp. The whole ethos of the T25s was to make them civilized cars to drive (as well as fast), and he did a brilliant job with that.

GazTheHat,
I would rather have the inflated bank balance to be honest!
scooba-steve,
RS4's aint that quick.... I pounded two at the TunerGP Race event at Snetterton in 2006 and I was only running 370bhp on the stock 2ltr Spec C engine.
As has been said, Iain did fit a Hyperflow FMIC at the owners request for circa 450bhp conversions.
AFAIK (other than mine and his race car) the next powerfullest Type25 he has provided is one running around 470bhp.
