Hmmm im not sure, i think the VX would be on par untill around 80 but i think the scoob would pull on it above those speeds. You wont belive this but the scoob feels a lot quicker, maybe its the noise or the fact the power comes in big shoves but it does. The VX was a bit boring, it sounded crap and didnt really feel fast evan tho if you watched the needle you could see the speed going up very quickly.

Lower and detango asap!
Very nice though, wait until you do some real power mods to it, then it'll feel fast

Excellent choice and the end of any concerns about grip.
One day I am sure I will return to an Impreza, bags of character, bags of ability, so many aspects put a smile on your face. Not perhaps drivers cars, but really, who gives a toss?

by product of the tuning.
Best performance of the Jap Turbos (impreza and evo) is with as little restriction back of the turbo.
This usually means about a 3 or 4 inch straight through system with no cats. Awesomely loud, and with the scoobys boxer burble, very vocal.

Both on the list, what lowering springs would you suggest ? After i come back from my next ring trip its going to played with a bit, what would you suggest to get it to say the 350 bhp mark ?
Your right i dont give a toss, the VX220 wouldent be able to get anywhere near this on a decent country road. Its all very well having these cars that handle so well but when you need a track to use it what the hell is the point ?? The smile this thing puts on my face is just
Some jap cars look crap without a big exhaust (well anything below a 4) and yes your right its loud but the sound is just mmmmmmm

I don't think you'll have near 300bhp at the moment you know mate. With only an exhaust, it's probably around the 280bhp mark. Unless it's PPP'd??? But it doesn't seem to be by it's selling description.
Springs, massive choice, what do you want, handling, stance, comfort ?
Mine is on Prodrive springs, which are very compliant and just the lower height makes it FEEL so much more capable around the corners. They're actually softer than standard.
350bhp mark.. me I'd go full 3" decat from turbo back, Harvey Smith Ported Headers and uppipe, fuel pump, and a TD05-18g turbo (rated to around 380bhp..) and of course the remap.
