I'm actually quite surprised at the reliability of the car so far. Only the immobiliser and the thermostat have had to be replaced. It also runs at 330 Brake Horse which is pretty cool as seeing as I am only 20 years old!
Although the insurance is £3660.
I would say that as long as the engine is thoroughly warmed up and annihilations of other cars are done in short bursts, the engine is fairly solid.
I think going above green injectors is stupid as the engine is not designed to handle this sort of strain, and the pistons will soon melt.
Although Subaru's and Mitsubishi's are now considered to be a lot faster than Cossies, mine would waste Subaru's when it wasn't chipped and when it was chipped, Evo 6's can't keep up even though they claim that they are as fast as Ferrari's.
When you get one of these you won't be sorry, people treat you like you own a Ferrari!
"I think going above green injectors is stupid as the engine is not designed to handle this sort of strain, and the pistons will soon melt".
Just get some forged pistons and get some greys or blues on you're car.
£3660 each year for Insurance???!!! Ha, ha, ha, the insurance company must be rubbing their hands!
I've got a 330 bhp on greens and hybrid and I love it, scoobies don't. just had the head rebuilt and a new chip and greys going in soon (400 bhp) do that on a japanese rice rocket for less than a few grand. cossies rule.

Evos and Scoobys cannot overtake a Cossie. Do you know how rubbish these cars are? I've had a 2001 Scooby and a 2002 Evo, and they are nowhere near as fast as my Escossie on a K reg, which is slightly tuned at 295 bhp. My Cossie is quicker than my old Scooby and Evo.
Of coarse your Cossie is going to be faster than a standard STI or EVO, it's tuned. But then again, you can buy faster from Subaru and Mitsubishi like the WR1, STI PPP, P1, FQ300-360. Bet even your tuned Cossie ain't faster than any of those.
A standard cossie, escort or sapphire ain't gonna be as quick as an STI.
