> 1. are all fq's uk cars

Yes, as is the EVO VIII 260.

> 3. whats is a reliable bhp, if possible.

Assuming you're looking for an VIII or above, 400.

If its a mr 8 then it will be better than the 7.. Expect for the gearbox. 5 speeds are stronger

whats better an fq300 e7 or a fq300 e8?

The 8 is marginally better, but the 7 just looks rank IMO.

If its a mr 8 then it will be better than the 7.. Expect for the gearbox. 5 speeds are stronger

The 6sp is faster though and better on track, and gives more mpg on the motorway. It's a win-win gearbox, and the 5sp might be stronger but unless you're aiming for 500BHP+ the 6sp is fine. I had no problems with mine at 380 and that's the normal experience, there are no more 6sp failures than 5sp failures.
