Hoorah.

I got the WRX (not STi) but it does have 340 bhp.



I want a 1958 Corvette.

05 mustang gts are nice

Well, Assuming that I had enough money to buy 2 cars (within reason). I would get one sedan, and one sport coupe.

I would probably go with a:

- 2004 Dodge SRT-4
- 2001 Vtec Prelude

 

[ToopackShaker]

a car that is actually possible to one day get:

infiniti g35 coupe

 

[Soldier like me]

Being realistic on what I can get, and will get: VW Golf GTi mk4

Since when do WRX's come with 340 HP?? Last time i checked they ran a 100 lower.

It isn't standard. A PPP STI only has 315. A WR1 has 340 standard. And can be easily raised to 360 with a coulpe of cheap add ons. An exhaust change and a new breathing unit.

But I only have a WRX, so it cost me 6k in US dollars to get that extra 120 bhp. Cos when I got mine on the rolling road it was 220bhp standard.

What's been done to it then???

I take it you don't believe me then!!!

No too much really. You'd be suprised how easy it is to get 340 bhp.

New ECU, which increases the boost. would take the car to 300 bhp alone.
Then I changed the up pipe and the down pipe, removed both the catalytic convertors and replaced with sports cats. Changed the back box, and the breathing unit. Replaced various piping in the engine bay to cope with the extra power. Changed the Intercooler for a larger one and added water spray. Then I got a slightly bigger turbo, but not too big, so it still starts spining up early, at about 2000 revs. A new fuel pump was also needed at this stage. Then I needed to think about safety so I added a DECs unit and a knocklink, so I can check on boost levels and oil temps, power ratings. etc. But in all I only spent about 6,000 US dollars, or £3k.

I was gonna buy a 2.5 US Sti engine and work on that, to get about 600BHP, but it'd cost a few thousand, and it'd be wasted money. So I'll probably buy a different car, not sure what yet. I want an old American classic, but I'm looking for a good importer.
