Anyway, i'd personall hold out for a V5 for the simple fact you can Ecutek it

Ecutek is a method used to map the standard fit ecu. The phase 1 engine fitted to the V4 cannot be "tekked". I'm not sure if it applies to the STi and i'm not even sure if it still applies to the uk 98 cars but there "used" to be an issue with modding the 98 ecu. For whatever reason it was a pain if memory serves, and an aftermarket ecu was the only way forward 
........oh yeah - the V5 is much more pretty than the V4

I think he's referring to this:
MY97 Phase 1 engine
MY98 Phase 1.5 engine
MY99 Phase 2 engine
That’s before you've got into the differences between the Type R, Type R Ltd & Type R V-Ltd

here's a reply to the same question that someone else answered
the year.. v4 is 98 iirc v5 is 2k.
I would get a v5.. nicer interior, better brakes, facelifted, more ecu options, etc
other differences are with the crank and bearings, heads, inlet manifold etc..

It wasnt such a bad deal in the end, got lots of extras that were in the boot (which I had to pay an extra £250 for) but there was LOADS of good stuff, oh and one of the boxes was an Apexi PFC
The original price he gave me was
but he dropped a grand off the price without too much hassle, but prob still paid a little over the odds but got the car I wanted
The only way to decribe the whole thing, was like Kye didnt want the business, and I really had to chase him down to get things done

They should be ok for that, mine does more than that
Planning on doing some trackdays then?
Edited to say - Interesting, Im sure it a standard Type R should be able to do up to 150?
And just to point out, Im not saying that it should be alright or recommending doing that on a regular basis or for any length of time at all, although it might not look like thats what I said. Bloody red wine

Ok ok, drunk might be a bit OTT, but a few glasses of the old vino and its enough to hamper my already questionable typing skills
