I'd love to see how this comes out, mine wont get underway for another few years yet. And an impreza engine is just one of the options i'm considering...

Standard BHP on a scoobie is 225bhp, with prodrive up to 265bhp,
How do you get hold of Prodrive products?? I went to the Prodrive factory itself and was speaking to the lads that build Petter Solbergs WRC car. One of them has even been in Minimag with his white clubman. They told me that there's not a single product that leaves the factory that the general public can get hold of. Only specially sponsored privatiers can get hold of the cars.

Good idea, but you will need a really good strengthened body shell. Standard BHP on a scoobie is 225bhp, with prodrive up to 265bhp, and then any thing up to around 400bhp is possible by removing the TMIC and replacing with a FMIC, replacing the 16g Turbo for a 18g or 20g, stainless steel headers, the list goes on. Power and torque might not suit a standard mini shell, but with the right one, oooeerrrrrr.
Good Luck

Where do you get your figures from? The Sti is 265bhp standard and 305 with the ppp (pro-drive performance package) a wrx is 225 as standard, the Sti engine has a stronger engine though and is capable of handling more power when modified
