thanks for that.
my first impreza was a wrx and i had that 4 years ago, it was running 253bhp at the fly wheel.
my second impreza was an STi and was running 278bhp at the fly wheel untill i changed the equal length header for stock ones and then i am thinking it was hitting around 260bhp, i sold that last year.
the main reason we are thinking of getting a bug-eye over a classic is that my wife hates the interior of the classics and wants a newer feel.
i am still very stuck on this one, i am happy to throw a bit of cash at a bug-eye to get the bhp up to the same.
it is ultimatly the diffence in drivability that i am concerned about, like i said before i did like having a little lag and then lots of boost.
thanks david
