I sold mine for half that & it was pretty decent 
You'll get a RB5 with WR pack for £8k

Thanks Jade/Col, RB5's are stunning, just a shame they dont do them in 2dr, how much do 2dr models go for.
I dont know nothing about Scooby's really so not sure which models are 2dr ones, except the 22b's (Drools)

only 2 doors (never made a 3 door) are STi Type R imports, P1's & 22B.
Latter 2 you wont get for £8k & the STi will hump you for insurance!!
The UK 2000 ones are still good & pretty brisk with a few engine tweeks

UK has no rear wiper and has head light washers.
Standard RB5 has 215bhp unless it has WR Sport/Prodrive Perfomance Pack then it will have 237bhp on 95 unleaded and 250bhp on SUL.

Import generally has WRX or STi name, has air con, rear windeh wiper & more power as standard. UK ones are UK 2000 & are a bit tame...still good though 
I think RB5 has PPP so 240bhp standard

240bhp still aint shy is it 
I know they are mega tunable but not sure on bhp per pound figures.
I think insurance would rape me tbh, got 4 years ncb but am only 21

Import insurance isn't much different if you phone the right places. I was 21 when I got mine

So for example if i got a UK spec RB5, how much would it cost to get it running import power?

UK Turbo bhp per ton = 177bhp
UK PPP bhp per ton = 195bhp

The RB5 is just a Turbo 2000 AWD with fancy paint. Both 215bhp standard and 250bhp with PPP which is about the same as some imports. The PPP map isn't good enough for going further as it isn't mappable.
