Hi
Given it's go no adjustable centre diff, do you what the (fixed) front to rear power bias is? (ie same as STI R with rear bias or same as a normal WRX which is I beleive front bias).
Cheers

I was led to beleive that the bias was 35/65 front/rear. But I'll have to check the facts/source as that fact came to light over a year ago. Previously I thought it was 50/50.
Maybe someone else khows, and can answer this please.

So if any one in West Of London - Reading area wants to see it, I'll bring the car to their work/home.

Hi Airhead, how's it going?
All, I have test driven this car and checked it over thoroughly. It is a clean and genuine car in excellent condition inside and out. Also very rare - think UK turbo handling (nice and supple), 280BHP Jap power and Type-r 3dr looks.
Bit of a winner really, just not quite what I was looking for at the time.
Good luck selling!!

Buy this and spend £1000 on it, and you have looks and performance of a P1 (including handling!)
All it takes is the big wing, different front bumper and and P1 shocks and there it is.
Same colour looks handling, power output, abs, torque split, brakes.
Extra bonus is roof vent.
If you want a car to play around with with P1 ability in the uk, for much less than half price, then this is without question the car to buy.
If I didnt have mine this woud be it for me.
PS. torque split is likely to be same 50:50 of all non adjystable diff jap cars. Less understeery than Uk cars which are front biased. As stated above, the drivetrain in this will be same as P1, although I have yet to be told which gearbox and final drive the P1 runs.
