Call me mad but after the one above is finished (prob end this year), next project is either:-
1.) 4wd Mk1 Golf with 2 1.8 Turbo engines, one in rear, one in front, tuned to about 400bhp.
2.) Skyline GTR tuned to about 600bhp.
3.) MY99 Scooby tuned up to around 4-600bhp.
Decisions, decisions.
Only trouble is I don't have anywhere to store another car, and it's defo not going on the street.

can you tell me how you have planned to get 600 bhp out of a subaru |
There's a guy in Australia who's done this, I fancy having a go, ship it to Jun tuners in Japan, get them to play with it. There's a site with the most amazing videos on. E-mail me and I'll find the li8nk for you.

btw: the golf mk2 has too small wheels IMHO, and why only 180 bhp... if you start with a mk3 vr6 you START with 194 bhp and have plenty of room to modify it |
As for the wheels, haven't you ever head of the EURO look, they're 8x15" wheels, v.wide, and about £400 a corner. As for the VR6 couple of things
1. It's a 6 cylinder and weighs more, so your power to weight ratio goes down, I'm using a 4pot.
2. The VR6 in a mk2 absolutely screws up the handling, trust me I tried some.
3. 180bhp is at the wheels, you're quoting flywheel figures, and the standard VR6 only puts out 170bhp if that. Even with a s/charger you're only at 250bhp at the flywheel, and my flywheel figure is 220-230bhp (estimated), on an engine that weighs a third less.
4. It's a lot cheaper to do the VR6 conversion, it takes time and money to produce a true enhancement of the Mk2, anyone can chuck a big engine in a car and make it go fast in a straight line, but try taking it round a track, different kettle of fish entirely.
Just my 2p's.
Oh and yes we can modify cars at lot more in the UK than some of you guys, I've "only" just turned 25 and have got my insurance down to £900 now for this beauty.
