Decisions and in need of advice

[stedaley]

Hi guys,

I have been searching for a car for a while and had my heart set on a JDM Subaru Forester Sti2m for £6250

however trawling the classifieds ive seen a few DS3 2010 models with all the options i want Criuse control/parking sensors/6 gears
Id like to know how these cars are, living day to day, and modifying possibilities.

Id be looking for a remap and exhaust/Air intake upgrades to start just to give it a little bit more of punch so if you have any resources/companies that offer services and parts would be a good help.

What are the bits to look out for with these/parts to need replacing? I know they are completely different cars but id be using either as a daily!

Regards

Ste

Are you looking for a diesel or a petrol DS3 ? You can have a 1.6 petrol 120bhp Vti (no turbo) or 150/155bhp THP petrol models as well as a range of diesels (I have a remapped 115 eHDi which has 145bhp)

For the turbo DS3s (petrol or diesel) a lot of us have used SP Tuning - http://www.sptuning.co.uk for our remaps as well as various other mods including exhausts, coilovers etc...

Ahh completely forgot to say!

it would be the THP 150/155hp version, and id like to see 200hp in such a little car should be plenty of fun! Ive heard a few of the older 150hp are starting to suffer?

What problems are the 1st/2nd year cars experiencing?
