Not sure if they are pulling a fast one, or just got conned by the person they bought it from.

What the hell is an 'active air scoop' - particularly on a car without an intercooler, and why do they think the 'active brake light' on the spoiler is rare ???

As for having 215bhp - havent they noticed that when they put their foot down not much happens ? And as for the insurance group 13 - bet if you declared all the mods, and tell your insurance its a Turbo lookalike they'll suddenly decide that it needs to go up 6 or 7 groups.

This is a 215 bph engine with no turbo. Its group 13 insurance instead of group 23
the uk turbo 2000 WITH turbo is 215bhp yes the insurance does only go to group 20 as we know, but with group 20 its split to several degrees... ie a subaru sti is group 20 but so a veyron and ferrari

Externally-genuine Subaru bonnet with active air scoop. Rear spoiler is 10 inch in height with active brake light (rare spoiler)
active air scoop and active brake light............ lol

All information is true to my knowledge of whom I purchased the car from.
think this person was conned.......

love steph xxx.

No, I can beat that. I advertised my old VW T25 camper with a buy it now price of £500,000. Yep, a cool half million I even got people asking if the buy-it-now price was serious (even though in the description I said that the buy-it-now price was for fools or the very rich)! Yes, of course it is, do you want to buy!!! It sold for £1,550 - well, the guy's paid £100 deposit via paypal and the rest when he collect on Saturday.

So, has anyone else had a higher buy-it-now price?

Default This is a 130 bph engine with no turbo.

I wonder if its faster than my current 107 - 68bhp 998cc of pure muscle car

£3900 for a 2000 turbo is taking the pish!!! never mind that pile of kak

it was me i corrected 'her', she changed listing.
now i just recieved mail via ebay saying 'he' would like to come and 'visit' me for slating his car.
was only trying to help the ill informed(although i suspect HE knew what to tell her to write)
wonder if screwing an air filter to the top of your air box makes it look like an i/c?

MY PPP is 345lbft on standard map with cats in place so 370 doesn't sound too unrealistic!
