Default Finally made the decision

The scoob is going up for sale this weekend after I finish some jobs and valet the car.

It wasn't an easy decision, and have pondered over it for quite a while now but I think it's time to go.

If anyone is interested in a car that seriously has a lot of potential, let me know, my mobile is 07709 434865.

By potential, I mean it has a 2.5 American STI block and Apexi Power FC ECU with commander. I do have a set of yellow injectors (440) with collets so they can go straight in. I rebuilt the engine with reliability in mind rather than out right power (hence 440's due to professional advice), so the mods are sensible and still runs a TD05 turbo.

Looking around £5500
