Perhaps someone can explain why the new STI (Ugly looking car) has been brought out with only 265BHP whereas older models have 280BHP ?

 

i guess no one can then...

 

LOL we all know, just not telling you

D

 

Andy A few factors

Jap(JDM) Sti runs 100 RON fuel
UK is mapped to 97(can use 95 at a push and if not driven hard)
UK Sti has to comply with more stringent emissions regs
UK Sti redlines at 7500 not 8000 Rpm(see above)

 

Its down to an exhaust system strangled by cats.

Oh and beauty is in the eye of the beholder muppet!

 

Whats a beholder muppet?

 

...imagine Kermit with a handful of wasps

 

James I guess you got one of them hideous looking mistakenly designed cars then ?

 

Neil Smalley : I have a STi 7 UK version and can most definately say that the redline is a little over 8000rpm not 7500.

 

At least we are old enough to drive!

 

but drive what though ???!!!

 

Dave

So have I, The limiter may cut in a 8K, but the start of the redline is 7500 on mine.

Jap redline starts at 8k http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/sti_prodrive/c00_f.htm

I want my 500Rpm back

Maybe your previous interests before you edited your profile were more appropriate

Yes, the STi7 is underpowered compared to a P1

Yes, the P1 is a far better car

Yes, the STi7 is ugly.

There, happy now?

BTW, the STi7 is 261 bhp, 265PS; and the earlier cars were 276 bhp not 280

Thanks dave yes much happier now - as long as you really accept defeat. Oh and may I suggest changing YOUR profile ? nothing to be proud of there

Andy,

Are you implying that Dave should not be proud of his occupation?

Matt

In case you didn't see it, Andy's profile before he edited it listed interests as "w4nking". By default, then, I guess he is saying he is a w4nker.....

Please note before we get into a slander/defamation situation I am most certainly NOT saying this, merely repeating what he typed in his own profile

 

Andy
Sorry, what were you saying?

 

LOL@Dave T-S

Of course it would be rude not to agree with what Andy first wrote!

 

Of course dave that wouldnt lead to liebel would it ?

 

Is Andy the new Dave TS. A year or so back every thread Dave replied to got muppetised. Or maybe Dave never lost his nack.

 

ps nice to know that you check everyones profile b4 forming an opinion

 

Neil,

No comparrison between the two a year ago Dave was helpful, polite, informative and humourous and Andy... well nevermind!

 

I wasnt born a year ago !

 

Can someone please remind me of the difference betweem slander and libel?

Cheers,

Matt

 

slander is speech and libel is in writing

 

Don't you?

You're just upset because I saw it before you changed it LOL

PS - it's spelt libel......

 

im not upset, i wrote it, coz i'm entitled to write things about myself...you on the onther hand.....are not

 

Andy
The spelling correction to libel was to the earlier post BTW.

Golden rule of suing someone is to make sure they have assets in case you get a judgement against them - at present we have two houses, two mortgages and a bridging loan so anyone that sues me is welcome to a share of my net deficit

 

Andy
I was merely quoting your own words.......
