He says about 340bhp?? i thought with the mods mentioned it would be a lot more than that.
can anyone inform me what kinda bhp that might be running?
Subaru : High Specs WRX FSH Private plate Price Reduced
(also, is it a known members car?)

Sounds about right - STi 8 turbo which is a VF34/35 depending on origin. STi intercooler/injectors and sports cat.
VF34/35 power is between 320-360bhp imo so yes 340ish is spot on

Yes - to get more power you are looking at a bigger turbo at least?
Other car looks good, but the bump bit would worry me unless you had it professionally inspected.

The ebay one looks ok, but doesn't mention a remap? If he can prove 350 then I suppose it must have been. 95k though?
I'd go for the black one - a lot less miles, better colour (imo) and doesn't look so chavvy.
Oh, and as above I would defo go for an STi rather than a WRX if given the choice.

ok thanx mate - so the extra £2k is worthwhile for an STi over a WRX from the cars listed above?
i slightly prefer the blue one, i think, but as you said 95k is a lotta miles plus whatever i put on it before i try to sell again....
...hmmmm what to do!

Yes from my own experience of trying to sell mine a while ago (108k). Anything over 100k and people walk away - buyers market at the mo.
2k more is worth it I would say - especially as the WRX is a bug-eye which a lot of people don't like.

true, very true.
so its between the blue and the black STi - i know what u mean about the mileage...however Scoobyclinic said its been well looked after - i just think over 100k is gonna be a mare to shift later on.

Looks very much like a saloon to me, not a hatch/wagon

Posted one from the autotrader on your other thread 
its an MY05 car so has some nice improvements over those (and only 39k fsh + PPP & DCCD) and a good price rather than the pee take of some of those.
