in light of the recent 'whos ordered a Wr1' type threads..
I'm curious (not to mention jealous) of who has ordered the 'daddy' (Type25) ?

go on.. its ok .. I promise not to stalk you

 

How much do they cost?thinking of ordering WR1 but just wondered how much type 25 was

 

£34k OTR

 

Cheers mate,last time went on site ther was no price.

 

Im gonna wait for the intial depreceation hell.. then see if there any any floating about in a year or twos time

 

Must be just me then !!!

 

I was going to until I got an insurance quote for it today. I am not paying £1,900 quid for it, that is just getting daft. lol!

 

ouch! LOL

what is you age Spen? NCB? Just curious not pushing for answers btw..

I'd love a T25, but just cant afford it..

DC911- "It is better to be envied than pitied"-herodotus

 

did you all see the review in jap performance, its one mean scoob

 

Hi Chrome, im in mansfield so could meet up when i get it and take you for a spin maybe.

 

Dc911- Ah sweet mate! Thanks!

mail/PM me when you get it .. cheers

 

mine shouldnt be too far off the T25 performance spec sheet, altho my car is 4 years old, and is still 2L..

its a lot of torque tho

when i get my new uprated clutch/Flywheel done I shall get it RR'd (maybe @ Powerstation just for comparison sake)

 

boy's your making me green with envy
when i'm a big boy thats what i want to get

 

Is this limited to 155mph as well??
Cheers
Colin

 

I'm tempted, will prbably place an order once I see other people with them...

Dont like them decals down the side though, abit to Fast & Furious for me.

 

They don't come with the decals !

 

Seen two being converted in Powerstation
No visible clues to what's lurking under the bonnet at all!
The guys at Powerstation cannot sing its praises high enough...
Fancied one when mine is due to be swapped but the insurance quote from Spen555 is a bit daunting....

 

Thats OK then!

 

Chrome,

I am 32, have 6/7 years ncb (forget off the top of my head) and three points on my license for an SP50. The car is garaged as well!

I am currently paying £1,500 for the JDM MY03 WRX STi !!

 

ditto Nevetas

 

flippin ek Spen,

Do you live on the Gazza Strip?

 

You won't believe the torque delivery of a 2.5 until you drive one Even for the same power and torque levels as a 2.0 engine it is incredible in its flexibility. There truly is no replacement for displacement.

The 2.5 can make what is arguably a bit too large a turbo on a 2.0 feel like a TD04

 

The guy's at powersation said the standard STI turbo was boosting at 1,500rpm, LOL
Must have felt like a diesel! all go then nothin past 3k

 

What John said

I drove it last week, and with the better low down torque along with the twin scroll turbo and the map they have done for it, there basically is no discernable lag. You can happily pull away in 2nd gear, and drive round town in 5th. Its just so completely effortless and, dare i say, relaxing compared with a highly tuned 2.0 with a TD04 or even TD05.

Relaxing that is until you gun it, at which point you less steer it and more hold on for dear life!!! The acceleration through 4th 5th and 6th is just completely linear, and completely surreal.

Oh, and the suspension ain't bad either

 

Do Litchfield have any plans for a Wagon version?

 

wouldnt mind a spin too? make my mind up wether to go for a 2.5 in my sti6 Type R, meet ya down Notts sometime?

 

No worries mate, hoping to pick it up this weekend so will have to meet up soon.

 

A wagon version would get my order -not that the boot is any more use than on the saloon

 

Hmmm

I m drooling over one of these they look friggin awesome, mind you 34K and then you gotta slap on another 1.8K for those must have prodrive rims.

Sorry Guys but at 34K its far cheaper to buy an import STi 9 like Bob Rawle, spend a few quid on it and get the same results for about 8k less, even the additional cost of a USDM 2.5 short motor would only increase the price another 1K ish. One year down the line it'll be worth under 20K secondhand just like any other STi would be. Not VFM IMHO.
