You will never get anywhere near £500 for that as people would sooner buy a FMIC or a new wrx/sti tmic ? I guess £200 tops if your lucky ??

Yip, never get £500 for it. I just got out bid on ebay for one, end price was £160 and i just missed out due to internet connection loss.

If it came with the car then I'd ****** someones arm off at anything over £150..!

By the sounds of it there's a few people on this thread who'd be willing to pay something like that for it. Why miss a boat that may never return..? Also, there's an old saying "the value of a thing is the money that it will bring"..

Sell it now if you can, that's a good wedge towards a decent FMIC..!

I bought that one sometime ago for about £100 on eBay (2nd hand) and sold it on for similar money (never fitted it) as I want to go front mount.

Just a word of caution...

If you look closely, then those ARC ones do not have the four raised sides to it, so may not create a proper seal with the bonnet's undertray! I feel that these IC's could be a step backward, as the air always wants to take the path of least resistance and I'm sure a fair proportion of it will flow around and past the four edges (instead of being funnelled through the core)...
