In this country, you gotta make the money first.
Then when you get the money, you get the power.
Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

Was looking at B4's around the country today and was curious to know if they are all the same spec engines (2.0L)?
Yes.
Some were turbo yet others were twin turbo - is that a model difference or simply owners prerogative?
As far as I know, all Aus delivered B4's were twin turbo.
Don't know about the blue leather
It grows on you, trust me
For 6-9 years old most are priced between $15K-$20K....
Sounds about right. I wouldnt pay much more. Expect about 100,000 -> 150,000km's on the clock too.
Does the Kw output differ between model/01-02-03 or relative to single/twin turbo???
No. 195kw standard, down-tuned from the JDM version of about 206kw.
What's the best pick for style/luxury/performance from those of you in the know???
B4's (in my opinion) are a good mix of luxury and performance, without being a WRX.
I'm not looking to buy but would like to know for future reference.
Thanks for any info...
Take one for a drive if you can. The twin turbo CAN be a pain in the ass, but is very driveable and you get used to it very quickly.
I may be biased, because I own a B4 - but I tell you what, i'm sure glad I didnt buy a WRX or an RS/GT lib.
Ugh i could ramble on for forking days about this stuff.

Ahh, only read advertisements, some said turbo, others said twin turbo....i suggest you do some more reading from ACCURATE sources as all B4's were twin turbo.
My mistake.

I've never driven a turbo before but would be interested to take one out... How different are they to drive? Can you point me to somewhere that describes what to expect... rules of thumb??
Thanks again.

You can expect that it will go faster, stop harder and go through corners better.

Is that seriously the difference a 2xturbo makes? My stock Gen3 is around 105 or 115kw from memory...
They don't just slap two turbo's on.
There's STi bits under that sexy front end.

Found a blue 2003 MY03 manual (private).... 80,000Km - $20,500
Little pricey for me, will have to pay this one off and save for a bit....

Man, that's nice!
So my stock Gen3 goes slower because it's white?
What a conundrum, I can't afford a B4 and I can't afford a smaller penis!
Ill take you for a drive in my beast Merlin!
Then you will want one
although it is a good 60kw over stock, you will get the idea

...but isn't yours silver? Blue adds 60kw right there.
If you agree to the ride, don't let him do doughies...

Merlin, you are going to have to come to the cruise in September where you will (hopefully) have a few B4's to look through and go for a spin in. They are a completely different beast to an RX.
If you want a good detailed view on the B4 then read this- its got 90% of the info you need, and the rest is on liberty forums!

If you want to read about the donk thats in a B4 then read this- its the only way I have been able to understand how the noisy thing under my bonnet works.
B4 Tech Overload
That Blue B4 thats for sale in Adelaide has gotten CHEAP. That was for sale when I was getting mine back in April- The guy wanted 24K FIRM for it....and he's still trying to sell it
A re-tune really transforms the B4, I was a bit sceptical at reading all the posts on forums saying that its like a different car after a re-tune- but its TRUE!! A 40KW gain just with a re-tune is nothing to be sneezed at, and the driveability across the rev range is dramatically improved. Have a drive of one of ours at the cruise and you will want one sooner rather than later!

Question: Do you race or something? I don't know where the hell you could use 250+KW....
Great..... more B4 Lust sensations!!!!Merlin, you are going to have to come to the cruise in September where you will (hopefully) have a few B4's to look through and go for a spin in. They are a completely different beast to an RX.

Thanks for the links..... That blue beast has the lowest Km's Ive seen nation wide for a MY03... I guess he thinks that's worth something...If you want a good detailed view on the B4 then read this- its got 90% of the info you need, and the rest is on liberty forums!

Did you have a look at it? Is it Modded?

lender doesnt care as long as they get their money. if you didnt check theres a good possiblity of a early exit fee from the contract.
