roof is tacky as is the front bumper meshing

the spec is nice, but it just looks like its been cobbled together. if i wanted a 600hp machine id want to pop the bonnet and WOW people with what was under there, tidyness and clean is what id look for.

yeah i know what you mean about the union jack an the engine bay. however, union jack can be removed.
the chap who owns it used it to race. not sure what races he did but thats what he used it for. i did mention to Simon that it looked abit untidy, but he response was this is how the customer wants it.

but yes i have to agree with you wighty338. but the performance of this thing is epic!!

Yeah saw this when it was featured.

Looks awesome from some angles and not to my taste at others. But it has obviously been built to the owners tastes and wouldn't take much to get the little details changed.

I would paint the roof red and get rid of the big scoop and replace it with a little RA flap type one and lose the mesh in the foglights and replace it with covers and you;ve got an awesome car!

Looks a decent spec, But whats a WRC Spec 6 speed gearbox???

Is it a newage 6 speed box???

Think the advert on e-bay needs tidying up, if you was going to spend 13k on a 10 year old scoob, you want to know what your buying, some of the parts ive never heard of!!!!

According to the jap performance feature. He bought the gearbox direct from Prodrive so no not a standard newage 6 speed.


A very nicely spec'd car but the colour, roof and front bumper don't appeal to me. but these can all be changed.

Yes, like type 4 heads, not sure what type 4 stands for but I doubt they are version 4 heads.

Not sure I'd want to put any passengers in the back of that with that fuel tank and 'cage'.

No doubt a lot of time, effort and cash spent on that car

Mods with k.m my 97 sti was insureed for 30k with mods all stated £700 for me and wife 35 7yrsncb..

I would suggest this car would cost you to have built 30-35k and to build your'e self 25k thats my thoughts..
