this is one nice motor.very stealthy and properly done.to someone who doesn't know much about cars,it just looks pretty much standered.which is how i like cars to look.but to someone who does know what there looking for and appreciate quality and top spec parts then this car is worth every penny of what the owner wants.sadly though when a car has had this much time and money spent on it and with the market as it is,its a bad time to sell.

Its just down to personal spec of what's required to do the job its put to, & vastly differs in price.

Mickey, how's it going mate? We met at Scoobyclinic about 4-5 months ago. You were having your car mapped. Mine was the blue hawk Sti on the Dyno with the ap brakes as yours.

All I am getting at is that a dyno print out and spec list dont make a proven car.
Where has the car been used, track or strip and how often.
I think this is the issue with Frayz car, it has not been used in anger anywhere to prove its ability. I am more than certain if Frayz did test his car it would pass with flying colours but I hope you see my point.

Micky, not having a go mate, I love the car and think it is worth what I said.

However, for those of us who haven't got our big builds on track/strip yet. And those that are built as fast road cars.
What more validation can you give other than spec, engine builder and dyno sheet?
With mickeys car, I think a reputable engine builder and reputable dyno centre is entirely valid as a proven power output.
The fact it hasn't been on track causes people to question the build integrity.
How much track time does a car require before its "proven"?
See what I mean?

Totally agree with you Pete and your 100% valid points.

everything to do with the engine was supplied by mark at lateral, engine was built by a company that mark uses (bearing in mind he doesnt just use any tom dick or harry).
car was mapped by pat herborne on scoobyclinics rollers
every thing was put in the car by myself and all pipe work was specialy made to suit
ie.
inter cooler pipe work
power steering pipe work
coolant pipe work
fuel lines
fire extinguisher
breather system
the car has done a track day and believe me those of you who may know me will tell you i know how to drive a car.
it was run at full power and didnt give a single problem hence the reason i used lateral perfromance for the engine build / and pat for the mapping
frayz you are correct matey it is finished perfectley.
