"Loudest dump valve on the road". What a pillock

And ESP on a 1996 Impreza? Surely not. Did ESP exist then?

Ok, but this is 280bhp, which is quite a lot less.

"subaru impreza wrx import 2lt turbo 290bhp dumpvalve"

This must be a special addition Impreza so perhaps its true, the "dumpvalve" models where only available in Japan

Muppet!

I must confess, I read things like this and truly wonder what the English language is coming to.

I've never really understood why people do that though. If you don’t know anything about a car then don't buy it!

The least you could do would be to come on here and ask

because it's an import alwong

think SHE got the 3 and the 4 the wrong way around

my 350 bhp uk my00 does 0-60 in 3.83, PROVEN.
the wrx is alot lighter so 290 bhp would be 4.3 ish

what makes me laugh is the way she descibes the P1 bodykit
then fails to show it in the pics

Reg Mar 2001 'N' reg Doh !!!!!!!!!
The only ESP you could get in the mid 90's was from Gipsy Rose Lee in the caravan, along with Lucky Heather and pegs. This type of thing really does annoy me. If a trader did this they would be prosecuted by Trading Standards. More a Crook than a Muppet !!!!!!!

It's been amended by the looks of things. It was definately 3.4 yesterday when I looked. So, your sanity's safe.

It said 3.4 this morning. Perhaps she meant if you pushed it off a cliff, then it would accelerate by 9.81 metres per second per second which is pretty quick if its a big cliff.
