Blob Eye STI UK PPP
Hello there guys
Im looking at getting a (black) Blob Eye STI UK PPP when my insurance runs on my BMW
Ive had a 4wd impreza sport before and love 4wd, i then moved upto a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 6 speed which was massive fun
Im now in a 2001 BMW 530i Sport. Lovely car, but i want some Oomph again now
And I love 4wd, nice big power, and lovely flat four engine noise so the Blob STI is the one for me!
What shall i look out for.
Anyone got any thought and opinions on this particular model (and the non PPP)
Regards
Danny

Don't worry if it's not got PPP as a ECUTEK and decent exhaust will serve you better. As per the usual ie Accident damage, Service history and general wear on tyres and brakes. Apart from that rear shocks noisy over speed humps. Thats it I guess.

£20 will get you 80 miles on average. If you do long journeys you might get a bit more and shorter ones a bit less.
I know this is stating the bleedin' obvious but the difference between 20 mpg and 30mpg is not just 10mpg - it is also 50%. You beemer must give 30mpg so you are currently enjoying 50% better fuel economy than you will if you give the Scoob some welly. You have owned cars like this before so you know all about crap mpg. Just remember that when you owned your Supra superunleaded was not £1.20/litre - and it's going to hit £1.50 by the end of the year. It makes a big difference.

BlueBlaster thats great, i edited my post before i saw your response, and i get around 80 to £20 in the BMW too, so thats me sold! Great news, the Supra was around the same too tbh, not much either way, the BMW gets a bit of abuse and its an Auto aswell so even harsher on fuel.
Im not phased by crap MPG tbh its what ive been getting since ive been driving so i dont know any different, yet!

Thanks Dean
What is reliabilty like on these models. Too many classics going pop around me!
Allthough it does depend how well cared they are, but is there anythig i really need to look out for
And am i right in thinking this model has DCCD as such?
Would i need a restrictor ring and boost controller to limit boost with a new exhaust (essential on a Supra)

What would be better to get aswell
Opions on the Uk and the JDM
UK is prefered for me, as insurance would be a little cheaper (im only 20!) But ive been paying through my **** since ive passed so i dont mind that it will cost a fair whack. ill be 21 when i get it too.

jgm is mapping my car in a couple of weeks with a group buy discount and its costing £580, now i'm not saying he's the cheapest but he's one of the best and this one off cost includes the license for the ecutek map. if you want further mapping at a later date its more £300 mark iirc

I thought the original Mapper did it a lot cheaper than another mapper having to redo it? I'd double check that mate as I've had quotes of £150-£200 off the original mapper but upto £375 of other ECUTEK mappers.

Id imagine my budget would rest at around 12k, but that is after selling my BM, so theres no point teasing myself just yet, ill get to that phase when i ring insurance and see how much more theyll charge me to amend my policy for one of them.
