Hi Mate,
THere are a lot of special edition scoobies out there. The key is that you try and get your hands on one that has been properly looked after and will hold its value.
I have a tidy Type R for sale and it will leave you with £2.5k change as well
Its the jap version of the P1, have a look at the pics and the link
Subaru : Low mileage V4 Type R
I would imagine that for £10k you could get your hands on a P1 or Type R territory. I think WR1 may stretch you a little bitas i think they are still going for about £13k upwards but then again it is a buyers market!
Good luck with whatever scoob you get they are amazing cars

I have a feeling, and I might be corrected here, that you can get them to about 400bhp before you need to start with the rods etc.
If you call Rich at RRH he will know or call James at GRD

they will let you know all the options.

You will struggle to get a good Hawkeye STI for £10k though, even in the current climate. They are available at that price but they are the high milers and damaged repaired usually.

As said 400bhp but not many owners go over 360-370 to remain on the safe side. You will get 390+ LbFt of torque at the level of tune as well on the 2.5 engine which for road driving is the usable bit.

On an STI, not much. An exhaust and a remap mainly. See here: AndyForrestPerformance

Yes, but not in electronic format, sorry. I'm sure some others will be along to post theirs. The sort of power quoted is quite standard for a remapped 2.5 STI.
I reckon you'll only need an extra £3-4k to get a mint one. You'd get a WRX on your budget but you will spend £££s to get it to the power levels you are talking about and even then you will be missing the Brembo brakes, DCCD and 6 speed gear box.

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...i-type-uk.html doesn't break the bank and is a good base for further mods.

with the 2.5's you can extract good usable performance with very few modifications
