Depends how much 'fun' someones already had in it. Doesn't say anything about ECU tuning ? Different to my 95 wagon as I can't see the A/c ?

Price seems fair-ish, mileage is high but could be hiding all sorts of nasties without knowing more about its history.

The Zohan

Described as a 'track car', subtle mods such as 'flamer kit' and 'swoosh dump valve'.

@90k so due another big service?!? unless it has already had it - belts and fluids every 45k from memory - ad mentions history, i wonder how much

320BHP (circa 220BHP std) uk car so an extra 100BHP with those 'subtle mods' really - suprised it does not have a Turbonator fitted to take it to 400+BHP it just does not add up for me. It obviously has a FMIC, so likely changes to the ECU to take advantage of this??? uprdated Turbo maybe????

It might be the advert is written by an idiot, might be worth a call but me, current market and cars avaliable - I would run a mile!

mileage a bit high the previous owner has probably been a boy racer i don't believe its 320 bhp run a mile!

I may be an idiot and at the risk of having apples thrown at me...... - I'm going to ask anyway............... why don't you beleive the bhp?
I have a UK scoob and thats running 315bhp running with fmic/de-cat/dumpvalve/fuel pump & VF28 turbo - maybe the red one is roughly the same.
I did call the guy to see if he'd take an offer on it (can't bear to pay asking price) but he wasn't overly "chatty" wouldn't budge on price either

Cause i quite like it. Not the end of the world though cause i've seen something better

I've looked at this one. Price wise I don't think its too bad IF and I mean IF its a straight car with no hidden nasties.

The blurb mentions an Apexi controller - I would check to see if its a PowerFC or the AVCR boost controller thingy.

The BHP of 320 would have to have a different turbo and as you say a VF28 would be probably be the likely choice.

The DVD and headphones could mean the previous owner liked to entertain the ladies with german **** or has children - being a wagon could suggest as much which could mean that previous owner didn't get to really hammer the car - I know I don't because I've got one (child not wagon )

If the guy wasn't too friendly and the feeback shows a dead car within a few miles I would be cautious.

LOL - i have kids and our scoob has taken quite a battering at times - more so when they're at my folks but could still be hammered with or without kids

Anyway - have my sights set on an evo (yes i know - i'm going to the dark side LOL)

Turbonator! Lol. Twin turbonator is the one to look out for,make sure its had an auxillary battery fitted to cope with the start up current of the second phase kicking in!

The Key Words, "Jap Scooby Subaru Turbo Track Car Fast Road" would make me run a mile!! Who wants some boy racer cast off? Get a UK Un-Modified example and sleep easy
