454BHP WRX
Hi, does anybody know of this car (which is for sale on this site)?
Also does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong with the car?...........don't want to get my fingers burnt!
Heres a copy of his add:-
'I'm sure most of you already know that this car was owned by a certain scoobynet member who did a fantastic job of building it.
I bought the car a couple of months ago for £8500 and have had some serious fun in it as it is completely crackers !!!
Sadly it developed a few oil leaks and a coolant leak and i bought another toy in the mean time and basically its sat for the past few weeks and i've just lost all interest and cant be bothered to do anything with it.
The oil leaks quite bad it drips on the headers and billows smoke out so i would'nt suggest driving it far. Car still starts and runs fine.
Mot till feb 06 and around 3 or 4 months tax.
A little about the car.
Custom 2.5 conversion with modified heads/block, Mitsubishi GT30 hybrid turbo, H & S downpipe, 3.5" Special HKS Hiper Exhaust system, race headers (only set in uk), lateral performance 5 paddle clutch, uprated gearset, autronic ecu with launch control and anti-lag,, racing 8 plugs with large denso coil packs, apexi front mount intercooler, greddy blow off valve, 850cc injectors, billet sx fuel regulator, motorsport pump.
Currently road mapped to 1.8 bar with optimax and octane booster, Dyno'd 454bhp/440ftlb @ 1.45 bar of boost, estimated 500bhp+/480ftlb @1.8 bar
Apexi boost controller, defi link system gauges, 6 point roll cage, cobra drivers seat and harness. Done around 6000 since build, car is plain white with black alloys, no fancy bodykit,spoilers etc
As i said above i've lost interest and it does'nt deserve to be just sat here.
THE FIRST PERSON TO SHOW ME £7000 can take it away.'

Sounds like Robs old car, it was sold for a lot less from memory, and from what i heard, the engine is supposedley knacked.
Dont hold me to the above, its only what i have heard via the grapevine.
