300bhp as we all know is more than enough, it's hard not to begin chasing the figures once you get started. It's quite addictive. May be a good idea not to get your car dyno'd, it may start you off down that road lol

Good luck on the job front! I was actually listening to Depeche Mode last night coincidently!

Cheers,

Mitch.
I think if I do ever go for big bhp at some point in future, it won't be with a Volvo and I'll buy the labours of someone else's work and money!!!

Mate had an older Skyline with stupid power and it was a hoot and I've seen MR2's at well over 500bhp for same money as a nearly new Mondeo. But being absolutely honest, the STI RA was probably best most useable I've had. Lightened, with the electronic centre diff, GEMS ECU and plated rear diff and as a point to point on B roads, not much would touch it. Could get std car and put to same spec or a good one similar for £5k. And despite the image, I DO like my Subarus!!!!

Cheers

Grant
