Here's the spec of the car I'm getting

STi V Type RA V-Limited, No 0856/1000. 31k miles and mint. Featured in Jap Perfomance back in 2002.

As standard it comes with all the STi bits as follows:

STi / Group N 5 speed close ratio gearbox
STi pedals
STi short ratio steering rack
STi blue velour / suede bucket seats
STi Intercooler water sprayer, modified for front mount intercooler
STi short shifter
Adjustable centre differential (DCCD)

The car has some excellent and well thought out modifications on it, which include:

HKS Front mount intercooler
HKS Racing Suction Kit
HKS dials (oil temp, exhaust gas temps, fuel pressure, boost pressure) in carbon fibre fascia
HKS dump valve
Upgraded Turbo dynamics MD191 turbo
Uprated fuel system (apexi 550cc injectors, SX fuel pump, SX regulator and uprated fuel lines)
Uprated clutch and lightweight flywheel
Spec-R header tank
Spec-R battery cover
Spec R windscreen washer bottle
Hayward and Scott Exhaust System
Group N down pipe
Group N mid pipe
18" P1 Alloys with 215/35/18 ZR Toyo Proxies all round
Adjustable Leda Coilovers
Powerstation bump steer modification
Powerstation geometry setup
AP Racing 4 pot callipers up front
AP Racing grooved and drilled brake discs up front and Ferodo DS2500 pads
Standard rear brakes and Ferodo DS2500 pads
STi Carbon Fibre front strutbrace
STi anti roll bars
STi anti lift bars
Polyurethane bushes all round
Tinted windows (very very lightly)
Clear headlights
JVC component and rear speakers
Alpine headunit and disc changer

To top it off the cars engine management system runs on a Gems ECU mapped by Steve Simpson.

Currently running 363BHP and 352LB-FT of torque, although after a nice set of equal length headers and remap I think it should see some more :D:D:D The car used to have HKS equal length headers but were removed.

Cheers
