Had this about 3 weeks now and i love it
Out the box according to Subaru & Prodrive this has around 260bhp with 260lbsft of torque... this is backed up with an RR printout with 261.7bhp/259.4lbsft.... and Is the quickest car i've driven since owning my stage 1 LCR 3 years ago. Its a bit of a change from the V5......... just as thirsty but packs more of a punch.
Pros
~ 260bhp
~ flat 4 sound
~ sporty bucket seats
~ handling is good, runs quite flat when cornering
~ has 4 doors
~ decent sized boot
Cons
~ 25mpg average over the last 2 tanks
~ has 'ditchfinders' fitted on all corners
~ smaller fuel tank than the V5
~ doesn't have the rumble of the 5 pot
~ not as refined as the V5, but more refined than i was expecting.
~ doesn't have cruise control
Haven't got any pics as i don't wanna get as the car has hideous 'scooby doo' decals fitted at the moment. Just haven't had time to get the better half's hairdryer out to work its magic and 'de-sticker' it, plus give it a good cleaning session inside, outside and under the bonnet.
here a quick run through of what the WRX 300 is about: http://www.subaru-impreza.org/downloads/impreza-wrx300.pdf/
Current Spec (As of 08/05/14 ) :
Prodrive Engine management system
Prodrive Intercooler 'Y' pipe
3" Decat Exhaust system with 4.5" exit
Cosworth Panel Filter
SWRD 255 fuel pump
Bailey DV10 BOV
MTEC drilled/grooved discs with Mintex fast road pads
STI front strut brace
HKS Type 0 turbo timer
Autogauge boost gauge
Avon ZZ3 tyres
To Do List :
~ ECU tweak by Chris Forbes of Dynatune
~ KYB shocks as one of the rears has started knocking
~ upper rear strut brace and lower 'H' brace
~ whiteline front & rear arbs
~ whiteline front & rear drop links
~ whiteline anti-lift kit
~ Lots of blue samco hosing under the bonnet
And then thrash the hell out of it at a few knockhill trackdays
Rate or slate people
