replacement for the p1
right then just a quick question,
as some may of seen i am in two minds to sell up or drop a 2.5 and md321t+ into my p1 but at a cost of 11k that along with the sale of my p1 would give me plenty of cash to buy a replacement impreza of a newer year, lower millage etc so i have been thinking if i was to replace my p1 what impreza would follow it.
and the only one in the budget i can think of which has always been a car i wanted was a litchfield mk1 type 25 (as i dont have £28-£30k for a mk2)
what are your thoughts?
what impreza would you replace a p1 with?
regards
steve

spec c ra r
dont know what they are going for though.
if the body condition on your p1 is mint, i may consider the build as the only thing that would be stopping me from doing it , is the fear of rust and a bad shell which you've spent thousands on

RA-R are a little to stripped out in my opinion i do like a little comfort and i was not looking to spend 18-22k on a car more around 15k which with what i owe on the p1 once sold the change plus the 11k would put me around that figure i could strectch a little more.
also i like the idea of a limited numebr hence the p1 and the type25 only a limited number made.

mod the classic im in a similar position as you sell my classic and get a newer car but relised that i had to run a lot more power to compensate for the weight. 11 k for 2.5 and an md321t thats a lot of money. ive just sent my car to engine tuner for a forged 2.5 a s206 turbo and im not paying anything near that figure. have a chat with martyn about your 2.5 build. and p1 are becoming more rare day by day its a very unique car that you dont get to see every day.

Sell it first then decide, it might not be that easy to sell for good money.

A nice MY05-07 JDM twin scroll STI (none Spec C as you have already specified) hopefully in T20 form with 400bhp 
that should keep you busy, far better than a WR1 in every aspect and a great drivers car 
(even in standard form)

hi pete i know i did but i came across the type25 on saturday and spoke with ian to arrange a viewing. its just the overall cost of teh engine shocks me as 11k is a hell of a lot of cash to spend and i dont know if i can justify that amount were a 05 type25 can be had for 14k and even a 03 type 20 in the for sale section is up at £11250 which is the same amount as the build so i could have both at that point so what do you do

I hear what you,re saying mate, it is a MASSIVE commitment spending that kind of money, have a good think and then go with what you feel is best for you.
I understand exactly what you,re saying about a newer car etc, but a forged classic will be a hoot of a car, you can always break it when you come to sell it to get abit more money back.
All the best with what you choose Stevie.
