They dont look like STi calipers either?? they look like painted red 4-pots from the facelift classic?? If i was going to go for a brake setup that costs £3k i think i would go for something a little better than that...

£4k for wheels and he didn't even get centre caps surely even genuine PFF7s wouldn't cost that much!

What a tool

Clearly trying to recoup some of the silly money he has supposedly thrown at it. I especially like the part ex for an Aston Martin though, how is that for optimism

I like this quote
It was putting out 370+ bhp before the fmc and various other trick bits where added. so I estimate with correct tune, it will be well over 400+ BHP.
But at advert no mention the mappable ECU(Aftermarket ECU)......
Probably have again one off.......
