The 98 UK definitely did have the smaller turbo to reduce lag and faster spool up.

Unhappy

For god sake, are you trying to confuse me?

So whats the best 280 model to buy? Do any of the 280 models come with 4 pots?

I like the sound of the shorter gear raitioed WRX STI imports. 275bhp with mega acceleration sounds the ticket. What years are the 280 models available on?

Cheers

George

I think between us all we got there in the end I still think from reading the SIDC FAQ and having been in and driven several that its worth stretching to an 99 or 00 model if you can. If anything just cause they are newer and good clean low mileage examples can still be found quite easily. Before you get swept up in the import idea get an insurance quote. If you get your heart set on one and then phone up you might be in for a big disapointment!

Thumbs up

George LOL sorry mate just having a bit of fun . Impreza models are a complete mystery especially the Japanese import specials.

Seriously though have a look at the FAQ ---> http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm look at section 2.1.1 it gives all the Japanese production runs and the models and PS outputs. PS is pretty close to bhp ie 280PS is 276bhp, 300PS is 295bhp. The really low geared cars are the Type R and Type RA. I have an RA and you learn to change gear very quickly .

Cheers

Cool

Cheers Chris

I want some mega Turbo power with shocking acceleration and storming in gear pull. I suppose an outrageous top speed would be cool too!

George I want a blower!!!!..
