Sooty mate why would I be jealous the ZS is as I said just a runaround mainly driven by wor lass and if you want I'll show you my significantly quicker RB5. Jealous don't make me laugh.
The point I was trying to make is that I once owned a 1.4 16v Sport for more than 3 Yrs and can safely say that there is no way it was quicker than my ZS

Nice cars the Cerberas did look into them very briefly when looking for my new car, but the decent ones were abit out of my price range and I had heard they had reliability issues, that why I chose the RB5

If you read my previous post you will see that I used to own a Corsa Sport and found this site then, I have always found that a majority of people on this board are friendly & very knowledgeable of other cars. In fact you and a couple of the regulars posted in a thread when I was trying to decide what to buy I believe you recommended i go for the Leon Cupra R just chose the RB5 instead although I did test drive one of these on your recommendation

I'm sorry can't remember the price of the LCR but I paid 15K for the RB5 it is a 99T Prodrive edition and had 42K on the clock when I bought it

Was actually told by the guy who I bought it off that the Prodrive RB5's were 295bhp but if I'm honest I know very little about that sort of thing. Maybe I should get it on the Rollers and find out. It is extremely quick though

There a good set of lads though a family friend works there.

sport16v you're a bit like me then didn't have a clue when I bought the RB5 but I've just found a company called Revolution Motorsport not far from me who aparently specialise in Subaru's might take it down there and see what the crack is.

6-13psi? Is it a rev 1 or 2? The Rev 3's run 13psi as standard.
