Hi everyone

I have been looking at this Hatch
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126509796023
Does anyone know anything about it? Anything I should be aware of?

Cheers

 

It was on ebay a couple of weeks ago with a diffrent seller with a buy it now of 8k .
The seller said he would take 6.5k for it.

 

Looks nice car ,6.5k bargain it was

 

Its done 100k on the forged build, which was built in 2016.

 

Fancy rebuild it again?
Not bad job of Yours than

 

Not a chance, retired now, not touched a spanner in the last 6 months.

 

The chap says he has an email from you saying it’s still good for 400bhp?

 

Yeah i know.
Over a years did You build subaru engine for Yourself ?

It's ticking time bomb with 100k miles on forged engine ,same for oem btw

 

He asked me what horse power it was when it left me, with the mods done, it was on a std VF48 when it left me in 2016.

 

I only built engines for customers, I did build a couple of engines to approve certain combinations worked & lent them out to race & rally customers, including the EG33 six pot.

Yes at 100k its past its best, but looked after, I have had a few do that sort of mileage.

 

That’s my old car! Paul built that engine for me. It had blown its gaskets again though by the time I sold it a good few years ago. Was running around 480/480 at the time at 1.7 bar when the gaskets went. Quite rusty underneath too. Doubt it’s any better now

 

No mention in the listing of having had a new clutch, so I'd think that'll soon need doing.

 

Thank you everyone.
It seems wiser to pass on this and keep looking for a different Hatch
