Want another STi.....but which one?
Hello scoobynetter's,
I have been a member on here for a few years now but due to other commitments, I have been away from the fast car game for a while....hoping it wont last much longer.
My last car was a version 5 STi Type R. Looking to try and get something a bit newer now.
I have a budget of around 9k maximum, what do you guys suggest the best car for the money is? It will be a weekend toy and I will keep it standard for a short while but I think I would like to tinker a little and make it a nice fast road car, dont think I will ever be taking it to a track.
I have kind of fallen for the blob eye wide track models and even the hawkeye STi, but what really takes my fancy is the JDM STi....but I fear that may be out of my budget
Any suggestions guys?

Thats reassuring to hear. Really like the look of the hawkeye's, how would a UK spec hawk STi compare to a JDM blob, in terms of fettling with it power wise/reliability etc? Am I right in thinking both of these models come with the DCCD equipped gearbox?

The 2.0 Jdm blob engine however can run 450bhp - 500bhp at a push on standard internals

Yeah research tells me to follow that rule of thumb Jay .
I think I would like to tune slightly at some stage. All about finding whats within budget now. I have even considered getting a P1 and having some money spare to spend on the car. Surely the 200kg difference should allow the older cars to hold their own performance wise.
