Yep me to with my type r, if yours is anything like the one above hang onto it as I think in 5yrs these will fetch £8k all day long.

Going to be doing a massive update later this aft

 

If it helps I have bought a nice bug sti and love it, i don't think you will be disappointed, I'm going in for some stage 1 mods in a couple of weeks can't wait

 

I also know of a bug sti selling for 4.5k

 

what would be the max bhp you could push a wrx to before its on the limit?? 350ish??

 

anyone?

 

Impossible to say. I know of some that shat themselves at standard power but also others still running well above 350.
The main thing to think about is general condition of the car. If its high mileage with poor service record then upping the power is not wise. However if you find a nice low mile well cared for car then generally you'll be ok at 350 bhp.

For me, personally, I'd take a standard motor to somewhere around 330.
If you want to push things towards their limits then make sure you've got the cash available when/if things go bad.

 

Thanks, keep seeing a few blob wrx's in white pop up, quite tempted by one just wondering if I could live with around 330ish bhp that all.

Noticed one on ebay that had a respray, with blue wheels, its a Cat D which seller hasn't mentioned, and seen another which is almost an STi rep which doesn't look too bad, second one has been owned by a member on here briefly I think, but never wrote much about it

 

This one ???

yeh that's the one that's a Cat D, if it was up for around 3500 id probably take it

 

I've messaged him as a potential buyer, lets see if he comes clean.

 

Well he states he purchased it in 2009, was also registered the same year so chances are he purchased it and repaired it, probably reason for respray

 

My standard internal 2.5 running 377bhp 412lb/ft and all fine, Even run it on Normal Unleaded and put the cheapest oil I can find when I service it every 20k miles, also running 1,7bar and pretty much give it death everytime I drive it!!

2.5 litres are bulletproof!!!!

 

He replied,
He reckons its hpi clear and never been damaged........ and certainly not on the register. ...

 

hmmm not too honest then, wonder if I say ive done hpi on it, and its cat d if he'd take 3.5k for it, very much doubt it

 

I've told him I know its a cat D, ask him yourself and see what he says now. Lets see how honest he is.

 

Post up the hpi report.

 

hopefully none of my info can be taken from this, can't see anything so will just post the link

Also which section am I best off posting in to see if a previous owner of a vehicle is on here??

Sounds like a bargain price

 

sold though but if I went wrx would have to be a white one

 

It says he purchased it in dec the damage was October he might not know it was cat d?

 

Good point

 

my blob wrx is over 100k and running 330bhp fine

the newage engine can run 400bhp proven, it's the clutch/gearbox that the problems start at about 340-350bhp, you need mechanical sympathy

i think jura is running 420+ bhp on std gearbox

 

I hope you don't warm it up - 2.5s hate that.

 

The newage STI engine can run 400bhp happily, pushing a wrx motor to that is asking for trouble.

Regards to gearbox, ran mine at circa 420 with no probs. The early 752 box didn't last long but the later 754 one was fine.

 

Think I'd stick at 330ish too be honest, if my budget allowed I'd get an STi and run 400

 

I wouldn't advise running more than 350bhp, just stating the wrx engine is capable of

That was my thinking too, I'm happy with my 330bhp wrx.

 

theres a white one on ebay at the mo I quite like the look of, its actually from around your way Dave.
Wheres the best place for me to put a thread up to see if any previous owners have had it on here??

 

slightly off topic now, but any reason I can't post up a wanted add??
