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....
and here i go again settig this straight for the hundredth time the car is capable of 180 any car is if the mods are done thats what i said your just repeating what i said read the ****ing text

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.
so now your not calling me a liar about my car but also about being a doorman lol you all seem to know me more than i know myself your miles away to funny that eh

Right well if it's got a piggy back then it might be a unichip or something

But considering the mines tape is still intact I don't know how they got round this

Unless the mines part is the Ecu piggyback?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the version 2 heads yet

A Mines ECU was good back in it's day 10-15 years ago but it's old hat now and technology has moved on. Also because you were told it was fully forged that means nothing, you might have been lied to If it has receipts for the work that's all good but without receipts it could be anything in there.

Good luck with the sale

Yesterday we had the girlfriend thread in nsr, now this one, some entertaining reading going on lately.

To the OP, its not sensible to admit openly on a web forum about hitting 150 odd mph on the motorway. Could land yourself in trouble there.

maybe you should brush up on road law just because someone admits to something does not mean they can be charged you can only be charged if your caught on radar etc

Actually no they won't. It's a serious problem on classic impreza's. Do a search and you will see all the threads about how many members are looking for a decent rear quarter rust fix. It's more than just paint as it's all the metal underneath that needs to be cut out and welded in again.
