What are these 5 speed classics geared for?
I worked out my 6 speed @ 7000rpm is geared for 183.4 mph, although i would probably need monster power to pull that

You also freely admit to driving "flat out" and doing 160mph on a public highway, as well as using your car to make deliveries.
As you cannot answer many of the simple questions put to you i'd say you aren't THAT clued up and its perfectly possible your engine isn't forged at all. You are now arguing on a forum of maybe not experts but people with a better knowledge than yourself about Subaru's but simply cannot take in the simple advice.
In my opinion you do not want to change your advert because you'd rather someone (like yourself) without much experience fell for the outlandish claims.
In the same breath of saying you hate people being mouthy on the internet you then swear and threaten people.

Personally if you were honest then you'd link this thread on your ebay advert and allow any potential buyers to read this and make their own mind up. The fact you won't means you are intending to rip someone off by "pulling the wool over their eyes".

Please don't swear or threaten me, i won't sleep tonight....

Right that's a mines ecu if this car hasn't been mapped for the uk that ecu will be mapped for over 100 Ron in Japan

So unless your using v power and octane booster your seriously damaging that car !!!!

Maybe you should open the ecu box up and check for a daughter board ? If not that cars on borrowed time I'm afraid

Just read all this and laughed my head off.
Especially the bit, " yea I'm a doorman, say it to my face".....LOL.

JOG ON MATE.



You now know a bit more about the car (hopefully). Best thing to do is delete the current eBay advert a re-write it with genuine and honest information.
And by coming on here swearing and using threatening behavior is just pathetic, you not scaring anybody but just making yourself look like a complete helmet.

wow , the issue i see it is whats in the advert isn't true, yet you claim you know performance cars. This maybe intentional, or may not be, but with ebay theres so many chancer making yourself look like one is a bad idea and will always get flak from people. I think what folks are getting at is you need to amend the add to make it more accurate. Just saying i was told when i bought it means nothing. Also comming on and opening up double barrels at people makes you look like even more of a muppet .

try this,

'UPRATED ECU FULLY PROGRAMMED TO TAKE ANY MOD IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNISE THE MOD AND ADJUST FOR IT COST ALOT OF MONEY AND WILL TAKE BIG BOOST'

This is rubish, no ecu will learn to cope with any mod you throw at it.

Uprated (add make, if not known say not known and how do you know its uprated?) of ECU, custom mapped. Ecu map can be altered to allow any mods.

'CLOSED DECK ENGINE WITH VERSION 2 HEADS ONE OF SUBARUS STRONGEST ENGINES HARD TO COME BY WILL TAKE UPTO 600 BHP WITHOUT HAVING TO UPGRADE ANYTHING IN THE ENGINE VERY STRONG'

Engine is as strong as the weakest component, if you don't know if the internals have been done why claim no upgrade required to get it to 600bhp?

Closed deck block, strongest around and good for 600bhp with right supporting mods.


'UPREATED FUEL PUMP WITH BIG INJECTORS RUNNING ON STANDARD BOOST ON A TD05 TURBO BUT THIS CAN TAKE HIGH BOOST DUE TO IT BEING A CLOSED DECK ENGINE AND HAVING THE PROGRAMMED ECU SO IT WONT OVER BOOST ETC'

Whats the fuel pump? how do you know its uprate? same with the injectors?


Uprated (add manufacturer) fuel pump and uprated (add size) injectors, running on stadard TD05 turbo and standard boos. Boost can be increased via a map adjustment increase power output.


'FULL STAINLESS STRAIGHT THROUGH BLITZ EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH STAINLESS CAT REPLACEMENT SOUNDS AWESOME PLUS MANY OTHER MODS THAT WHERE DONE TO THE CAR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT THE CAR PINS YOU INTO YOUR SEAT AND PULLS STRONG ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE GEARS NO KNOCKS OR RATTLES OR SMOKE THE SPEED LIMITER HAS BEEN REMOVED SO WILL DO 180 MPH NOW RATHER THAN BEING LIMITED TO 115 MPH'

Full stainless exhaust, car pulls well. Car has been destricted (standard limited electronicly to 115mph). All mods done prior to me purchasing the car.


'THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF RUST ON THE REAR ARCH VERY COMMON BUT THE REST OF THE CAR IS IMMACULATE AND ITS A LITTLE BIT HARD TO GET REVERSE COMMON SUBARU THING ITS EASY WHEN YOUR USED TO THE CAR GOING TO HAVE A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND FIX IT BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A LINKAGE EASY FIX JUST THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION THESE BECAUSE IM HONEST I WILL REVISE WHEN ITS FIXED'

Car is generaly in good condition for its age, minor rust on rear arch (common thing with subarus but easy fix by any decent body shop).
Slight problem with reverse being hard to select, been told by a mechanic its a linkage issue (will be repaired before cars sold)


Car is used daily by myself so milage will slightly increase. X months tax and MOT remaining.

Simply put dont make the car apear to be what it isn't.
