Struggling to read with the lack of punctuation but to answer your question on getting more power, it's very expensive!

Yea i see what u mean was pretty hard to read.
It is a fair bit but less than getting my type r subaru to 380bhp. When u think a ecu is £1200, £1000 8 pot brakes,turbo £1300,list goes on forever ,fmic,injectors,fpr,manifold ,up pipes, 3 inch exhaust it costs alot more than 4k.

Getting an STi to those power levels does take a lot of work. I preferred to go to the max of the injectors and cooling, and just have a nice safe 320-340 bhp from an Ecutek map (plus pump and down pipe)

Getting power from the S2000 won't happen from an exhaust and intake. You might get 5 bhp.

Different buzz you get from the s2000. It's much more 'race car' like and the feeling of redlining at 9k is so much fun.

Had an impreza WR1 years ago and it was seriously addictive with that level of grip and turbo rush but I could never drive it smoothly everyday and it would get up to silly speeds. I genuinely found it too quick for British roads and required no skill to drive hard unlike the s2000.

Don't be fooled though, the s2000 will feel like its going backwards compared with a tuned impreza.

Hi Rob,

I've highlighted all the text speak parts for you, mostly the "u" instead of "you".

As MB says, please make an effort with your posts - you'll get more help if you do so. You could even bother to copy and paste my nickname rather than spell it incorrectly

I'm in Herts (Rickmansworth) if you want a passenger ride, or pop along to a Herts meet https://www.s2ki.com/...hursday-3rd-may where I'm sure someone will oblige.

Mostly in the wet/cold with low tread tyres. Have a read of this thread for loads of driving tips. https://www.s2ki.com/...neral-handling/

Trying your best is all we ask, but I do have limited patience as the "nasty" moderator...

Have you had an insurance quote yet?
