Iv defected to the dark side!!
Gone and bought a brand new Evo8 FQ300!!,thought my scoob was quick(STI7PPP),but believe me this thing is another step up!,not as nice inside admitly,but the way it goes is just wicked!!,let the modding begin!!just a decent induction kit and a de-cat should give one hell of a power boost!!

I also tested one this weekend - very nice cars.
What colour did you go for?
I've seen some pics of the leather option - it certainly gives the interior a boost.
Didnt happen to buy it off Black Knight from MLR per chance?

You should be able to pay a couple of grand (maybe less) and get the FQ330 engine upgrade package shouldn't you? at least that way you preserve the warranty.
Nice cars, good choice.

I test drove a FQ 300 Too!
.....and then bought an MY03 Sti with PPP and haven't regretted my decision at all ;-)

Yep it will be from black knight on MLR,went for Palma Red,will probally go for the turinis rather than the leather though,went for the mitsi rather than the STI because they are a lot lot more exclusive,round the b roads at the weekend it was like glue,a lot better than my STI7,and next to the STI although nice,the evo8 has a lot more road presence,the FQ package is a different exhaust and free breathing panel air filter,which in most cases gives the car approx 320-330bhp,the FQ330 is a piggy back back chip,exhaust,filter,500 more revs and again in most cases 350ish bhp,obviously concerned about warrenty so not sure about de-cat or HKS induction,although the power returns for doing that are i believe very good!! still it was time for a change!and at the price i got it for well lets just say a good few grand less than a STI PPP! with 18" Turinis as well.
