"Sti Scooby 280 bhp+ £2k ish", + a couple K for the conversion. Sti engines arent cheap.

A pro built 200 bhp type 1 motor with Porsche fan conversion and fuel injection is going to cost £6-7k.

I've seen several sti motors on UK ebay in the last few months all go for around the £2k mark.

To make a scooby / type one cost comparison fair, you'd need to compare to the cost of maybe an EJ20T or similar - many of these go for under £1k.

I like the idea of a Porsche box because of the 5 speed, and I also feel they would stand up to the duty cycle better tyhan a built type one?

I welcome any and all your feed back and comments?
