In standard form the turbo 2000 will be around 220bhp, but depending on year of the wrx it will 240bhp or 260bhp.

Early turbo 2000's came with horrible tweed style seats, but after 96 I think all came with the bucket style seats, all wrx's have bucket style seats.
I'm sure both came with2 pots until around 97/98, then 4 pots were used.
But you can pick up a decent set of 4 pots for less than £300 normally with alrite disks and pads

Your probably better off with the 2000 turbo, you can safely run that on unleaded though you have not mentioned which model year the car is?

Japanese cars are far superior mate if you dont mind using v power all the time, much more power and alot more extras including climate control, air con, foldind mirrors racing steering wheel and gearknob, shorter gearing etc etc, and contrary to popular belief most parts are the same.

The guy is in ireland, and super unleaded is a little harder to get hold of over there (though their diesel is cheaper than their petrol, and its still cheaper than over here even though its pushing the 1+ euro per ltr).

Yeah, in Southern Ireland super unleaded is pretty hard to find.

Vpower is non existant either North or South.

Super is easily found in the North.
