        @CYBER-NINJA Better clutch feel, easier to use and the better ones are self adjusting. No more fettling the clutch perch.

        If you have ever driven a Japanese car then you will understand. Most Jap cars from the 60's up come standard with hydraulic clutch. It's only now that the VW crew catching up.

              @Calum Yeah built like tanks and super robust, but the added weight affected the performance. I had 2 ST185's, with the second being a Carlos Sainz model. I had the engine rebuilt being fully forged with a ported head and later ST205 cams. And with a larger turbo and some better cooling she pumped out 350BHP, which meant that she past everything except the petrol station!

              But just like a DT the brakes were woeful until I upgraded them.

                        @andrewj1680 Yeah quality mate. Mine's pretty standard, but it's had a hard life and I have just been restoring it for the last few years.

                          even as standard im sure they are still pretty lively im far too impatient to have something sat around like that but could do with a little project like that myself, cracking engines my never missed a beat I madethe mistake of trading it in for a fresh import impretza sti at the Bristol import centre, I knew as soon as I drove out id made a big mistake, think you made a good choice project there

                            @andrewj1680 Imprezas a quality car. My mate has a Type R Limited. Stunning car.

                            His girlfriend has a spec c which absolutely blows me away.

                            Amazing cars.

                              @Calum the type R are stunning and only going up in value by the day mine was running 289bhp had the bigger turbo the td05 a blitz nurspec exhaust and a simtek ecu it rightly and felt like a roller coaster ride on boost but still think around town my little starlet would of run rings round it

                                  I have a evo 6 running 376.6 bhp for weekends and a Mondeo st tdci as a every day car 2 totally different cars lol the evo is hard basic but fast and the Mondeo comfy and smooth, toying with the idea of rebuilding the evo through the winter just as apparently for anymore power I have to forge it as they tend to throw rods so im told

                                        Mines the middle one, fully forged front mount and exhaust. Other than that it's bone stock.
