The car was built to be a sleeper, and has a standard appearance except for the wheels, brakes and exhaust.

Engine has covered under 2000 road only miles since having been rebuilt with the billet Arrow crank. It has been in dry storage for the last 18 months, and will be re-commissioned and MOT'd prior to sale.

The Hawkeye long ratio gearbox and upgraded diffs were fitted at the same time, along with the new Exedy D-Core Twin Plate Clutch.

No expense has been spared in the build of this car.

Very well put together spec!

Who built it?

Where in the world are you!:thumb:

YHPM

Hi
I have the money and would be tempted at a price. I do appreciate the money gone into this but I know what it's like to try and sell such a highly modified car with so much money invested. I've just sold an evo x 550 bhp. My number is 07980665545 Ashley

Tempted at a price, I assume this means no where near what he is asking? :thumb:

A car of this spec is never gonna sell instantly overnight...

I had one of very similar spec in 09' and only 1 person viewed it.... the same one who bought it👍

Good luck pal

You got it. Had £45000 invested in evo x got £15500 after 9 months

Still for sale.

Will be MOT'd this week :)

Think thread would benefit from who built this monster, when ect👍

I want.....👌

Built by Richard @ FBTuning

Engine was refreshed approx 1000 miles ago when the billet Arrow 79mm crank was fitted

Low mileage Hawkeye long ratio gearbox was installed with a new Quaife helical front differential and an R180 Kaaz 1.5 way LSD rear diff.

New Exedy D-Core Twin plate clutch installed at the same time.

:)

YHPM

All PMs replied to..

Close ups all round.

Any rust?

Panels straight?

Underneath clean?

Scott, (type r brad), you should be concentrating on spoiling ur missus in New York not on here chasing a car you're never gona buy pal ;-)

Hey Mr King stop being a control freak:lol1:

Just trying to help Op move his baby on.... even though I feel a bit nostalgic about the car...

You never know;)

Sorry mate I got all dates mixed up am in New York next week so may pop down Donno tomoz :luxhello:

how much for the rear diff mate

Wtf £17.5k I belive and the rest comes free

That is an absolute bargain, where can you get 650bhp for so little money.......270bhp in my classic scares me at times, heaven knows what this one is like!

Top - Still for sale :)

Any more pics?

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

Awesome car, seen it many times
Shame it has to go

Awesome spec needs nothing doing to it, Just looks like any normal Turbo 2000 from the outside, bet it surprises a few people!!!

Cracking car few people might ask why you bored the ej20 out to 97mm and never bought an ej22?

Steve

The block wasn't bored out to 97mm - It was re-linered, built and run to season it, then rebuilt to it's current spec :)

Still for sale

Very nice glwts

Just out of curiosity as im looking to do it what was involved in the 6speed hawkeye swap? Thanks
