SPEC C R205........to LM400 or not to LM400 that is the question?
Right guys I need a push in the right direction....with this bloody car costing me the best part of £40k do I go and spend another £3k on mods which I doubt Ill get back when I come to sell the car next year?
Ever since these new LM400 have come out I've had an itch that needs to be scratched!
I know I'll end up getting a gen 2 turbo or LP560 for the summer so am not sure if I'll even drive the R205 unless I do a little track work.
The cars booked in wih Litcho for a remap and down pipe,but am just thinking that Imight aswell go the whole hog?
I have a couple of weeks to decide anyway as the billet vesion don't arrive untill late next week.
So sould I just buy the "Billet" so to speak and go for it

IMO this is nothing to do with the car. We are only talking about a turbo and injectors. this IMO is about the logic of blowing £3k on something youre not going to make much use of.

Hey Immy, you got one of these at the shop with 360bhp. Would that mean you are going to pay £3000 for 40bhp? Hahahaha
You are one lucky man, i hate the hatch but i would give my left ( or right ) nut for a R205?

Thanks for your commnts guys,however it's a very hard choice as I think it would complete the car 420bp ,but like some of you have said I on't want to spil such a special car.
I thought Iwould go for a happy medium of a full decat and remap would be ok. I was going to go for bigger injectors however everyone have spoke to says the VF42 max's out at 370bhp.

I would go for it,
3 reasons:
1) Like some have said what another 3 ?? your going to lose 10 k on the resale anyway
2) R205 special yes, but not it not a cosworth
3) & most importantly, it will make a great 2nd hand buy for one of us in the future

True ,but with the current exchange rate and the fact that it's the only one in the country I think it will still fetch good money next year.
Theres already been a lot of genuine interest from scooby nutters like Mikep and Bigfud
It is worth every penny to the right person who knows their Subaru's.
You got the modding bug
