only the late model STIs made that as standard but at least it's easy to get it to 300bhp and relatively cheap :)

Ive lost count of scoobys advertised with so called "huge power" and most owners dont even know what model they are selling anyway...the lastest being one advertised with 380bhp with standard airbox(with resonator),pre '96 slanty intercooler and a TD04...of which he said he changed to get a quicker spool up.. :lol:

But the sad reality is someone will buy it believing everything that is fed to them because they havent done any research.

It's quite odd in this day an age of the internet that people just don't use it.

'A fool and their money are soon parted' comes too mind.

i knew for definate it was not 300hp. i think its just funny that the chap i brought it from was sold it, claiming to be 300hp :D

i always thought it was about 250, i had a beemer. 195 (when new) and had a race with my mate driving it...on his private airfield.....hmm

and it didnt fly by like 300 should!

just seen a 98 uk turbo same as mine with 300bhp didn't state mods so i sent a email asking what he had done to it he said "exhaust system, induction kit, think it was about 280bhp, thats what i was told when i bought it. :lol:

[ *  *  *  *  * ]
if only it was that simple. thing is people take standard bhp then start adding other parts and do their own maths on what the manufactures claim these part give. If that was the case my wagon would be...about 284bhp! i know for sure its nowt like that. Sometimes we just get robbed!
1995 wrx wagon the cleanest around!!!
