Default The BEST RB5 IN THE WORLD! Re-listed

I thought I'd start a new thread as the old one was littered with compliments!

The car currently has 39K miles on the clock and a full Subaru Service History.
The service book has 9 (yes, nine) main dealer stamps as this car has been pampered beyond belief. (60K service has been done - biggie! )

The previous owners are Elmer Fudpucker and before him, Scooby-Doo, so the car has been cherished by enthusiasts.

The car was MOT'd for a year last month. (failed on a number plate bulb! )

SPECIFICATION

Genuine WR Sport RB5 No378


Engine
PPP ECU and intercooler pipe
PPP exhaust swapped for -:
H+S downpipe + standard
Magnex centre section
TSL group N silencer
K+N induction + standard airbox with ITG air filter
Earth mod
New MAF
Power in region of 260bhp

Suspension
Pi -30mm lowering springs

Wheels/Tyres
18'' Silver Prodrive P1 wheels from Mark's GB (nearly new)
215 35 18 Toyo Proxes (nearly new)

Brakes
Godspeed 355 drilled/grooved fronts
Godspeed drilled/grooved std rears

Exterior
Crystal indicators + originals
Crystal repeaters + originals
Crystal sidelights + originals
Sti rear lights + originals
DR Motorsport front lip
Rally style mudflaps
22B style grille + original
22B bonnet vents + originals
Custom blue RB5 logo's
H/light protecters
Copious amounts of Swissol!

Interior
PSi3 SECS monitor in centre pod
3 Autometer gauges in custom A pillar pod
Boost
Oil Temp
Air Fuel Ratio
Momo race leather gearknob
Chrome gear surround
Custom blue mats with individual RB5 No378 logo

I.C.E.
Kenwood 6x9 rear speakers
Infinity front components with tweeters

Security
Factory CAT 1

Standard RB5 spec
Air-conditioning
Prodrive quickshift
Blue alcantara seats
PIAA's

Private plate T555 RBV included.

Price
I've checked the used RB5 situation and the prices can vary quite considerably.
Subaru.co.uk has 1 at present, a non-WR Sport version for £15k.
Some private higher mileage examples have sold for as little as £10k-£11k.

Offers in the region of £14k will secure the car, which I'm sure you'll agree is a well fair price considering the condition/history/mods etc etc.

I've thrown together a small website, detailing the car's spec with lots of pics....

I have stuck the car on ebay for 5 days, with a low starting bid (£5k) and a reserve well below my asking price, to gauge interest that way.

Dont do it
I change my mind on an almost daily basis......

Some days I say I am definitely keeping it.

Other days I fancy a P1.

All of the time my fiancee is encouraging me to sell as the wedding is looming!

Decisions decisions

No contest!

She's an older model, higher mileage, more previous owners and her bodywork is in nowhere near as good condition as the RB

Can't make it unfortunately jabbroni as I'm still "convalescing" from my recent operation, so I can't drive and the car is currently off the road anyway.

Sounds like it missed out on ebay by £400 so I'll give you £100 for the front lip delivered then you only have to sell £300 worth of stuff and you are done!
