I don't, not if you get it serviced by Subaru. New discs/pads for the Brembo setup £1700 fitted.

Pretty much irrelevant how much Colin paid for his car, doesn't mean a thing.

You could go the non-dealer route with either and save obviously. Depends if warranties are involved.

Depending on what was available and what fitted the budget, eithera MK II RS2000 or a 2 door Sierra Cosworth or a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth.

Or perhaps a supercharger conversion and two grand in the bank.
