Rasher had the best kept s202 of them all 333/400 I believe. He sold his in 2007 on Scoobynet, I'll have a search for his thread

I don't think it's too wide of the mark for a 10 year old car no matter how limited edition it is

Very true, and if was in the market for a new scoob it would be on my short list along with a hawk Spec-C

Buy it TX you know you want to not the best colour in my opinion I prefer S202's in black (obviously), yellow and white.

I had a look at the listing last night, I have to say it's below what I would expect to pay by some £2K.

If I could afford to and had the room I would definitely buy another as a second weekend car, they are without doubt the best handling and most hardcore of all the newage models.

I'm just sorry I didn't keep mine and carry out the modifications I had planned, especially after all the hard work put into the car before I sold it plus the new owner wrote if off after 2 weeks.

Well I laid myself open to that one, I'm blaming my iPhone.

But the clown who bought my car should have remembered the following :

If you approach a roundabout at around 'only 30mph' and then try to teat it like a chicane something is going to give, especially if you have no skill or the intelligence to follow the simple rule taught to all drivers.

Slow in, Fast out

He is having a go at your wording as the word " doubt " is missing from your description of the handling

The thing is that the S202 is with only a couple of modifications ie panel filter and a remap you can easily achieve 350bhp.

I'm assuming when you say twin scroll you mean a JDM Blobeye STi which will also achieve similar results but the S202 has better:

Suspension
Wheels
Exhaust System
Roof Vent
Kerb Weight

Plus don't forget the exclusivity as only 400 were ever made, there is a lot of difference to even an JDM STi.

I would say that from personal experience that my Spec C isn't dramatically quicker than my S202, and in handling terms the S202 would walk all over it.

I am not a big fan of bug eyes, bit I would love that.

Low mileage, almost standard I would buy it.

my mate had a classic ,

that had all the sti parts ,but had no mod cons in

**** and crank windows,
no this and no that

had a rare water cooler spray for the intercooler.

well anyway he struggled to insure it as it was classed as wrc spec or something .(or lightwieght modal )

in the end he swaped it for a normal classic

The S202 is just another ball game. You have to drive it to actually believe it! Soo aggressive!

Looks like it's priced to sell. Unfortunately that the way the current climate is Someone will get a bargain though.

A rather good driver I know who has a classic STi RA described my S202 as "******* hell that's quick" and reckoned that it was just as good as has classic RA if not better in the handling stakes (and he knows how to throw a car about).

I think he was more sorry to see it go than I was.
