Very true. I have been thinking about buying back

True say Tyrone, after driving a 440hp lightweight bugeye and a normal blob, evo's etc all just feel flat. I test drove a 500/500 Evo 8 & I didnt find it any quicker than my old S202.

Have to admit, one of the fastest Subaru's I have ever sat in, big figures aside.

I say go for the Type R, I had Evo 6 and my mate had a Evo 3 both with good spec but were very boring compared to the Type R I have now and you will never get that beautiful exhaust sound out of an Evo

True say.

Evo's feeling kind off lean. Subaru's feel more raw.

I must admit... M3's do seem nice to drive

Forget the BMW M cars, having owned a 2005 M6 it's no patch on a type r , they just don't get the power down yes they will do close to 200mph top end and absolutely fly top end and are full of gadgets like heads up display and DCT transmission but all the high tech gimmicks take the raw fun away of owning a sports car

I wouldnt mind a boosted Type R, however I just cant justify spending that much money on a car, regardless.

The crazy power figure i got in mind, the Type R from stock will need AVCS, 2.1 etc, 6 speed, brakes & the list goes on. By the time I am finished with it I could have bought a Porscher......

It has to be bought, not built.. lol

Saying that I have been upto some hood rat business. I've been looking for rolling shells with running gear & cars with bottom end damage. This way if i get a good deal, it would allow me to Stroke, cam & rotate the basket! Crazy ideas everyday!

Kas A mate of mine is selling a Pulsar I no its not a Subaru but if Ur after a lightweight car with some power it will be perfect here is a list of a few mods.

GT 30 Front mounted turbo
AEM stand alone ecu
Forged pistons
ARP rod bolts and Head studs
Front Exit exhaust,Screamer pipe Tial waste-gate etc

It was mapped by advanced motorsport and made 300-BHP on 0.7 bar

I love Pulsars! I've owned a few big spec Pulsar. Last one I owned had a 2.2 Tomei stroker, T88 turbo & a Quaiffe box.

I think I have seen that Pulsar for sale on MLR?

Can easily be done on budget as long as you DIY 90% of it
