Rossco.....
Ye from Inverness. Work away from home so dont use it much anymore.
SandyRS16i.....
Mmm that the vid wi 2 bikes?
DRB5.....
Yes the EJ257 is fine to run that boost (1.45bar) safely. I've had it just over 2 years an she's never missed a beat. Sam (the dentist) mapped the car perfectly and he's assured me she'll run all day long at power. He's been spot on.

Very nice mate.! top specification in a type 'R'. If only this was a few months down the line.
I sooooo want this car, and miss my old 2.5, but funds just don't allow it at the moment.

- If you get it and you haven't tried a well sorted 2.5 before you will be pleased. One of the best combination JAP cars I have ever owned, lots of power, bags or torque and minimal lag, in a small light car.

Its would feel much faster than the EVO, but not to say it was much faster. Bit like a BMW E36 M3EVO feels very slow for a 320bhp car, but pitch it against something else quick and you realise the BMW isn't slow at all.
Its all about perception of speed, if you have ever tried say a 130TDI diesal you wil know they feel really quick for what they are due to the torque etc. The 2.5 classic scoob is like a 130TDI deisal on serious steriods. It won't dissapoint.
Only place to go after a 2.5 classic IMHO is a big BHP skyline or real exotica big budget car.
