Hmmm. Not sure about this description in the ad:

THE CAR DRIVES AND DELIVERS ITS POWER EXACTLY AS HONDA INTENDED.

Or maybe he knows something we don't?

mattyd

also its hard to ring any more thn 135 bhp out of these, so dont know how hes getting his 160 bhp

do all those pics have an effect on them???? or ami just really tired............

That must have cost more than just buying an STi and being done with it!!

Apart from going to town with a spray can, it's a pretty decent effort!

Spraying everything in the engine bay was unusual .....

mattyd

it is nice to be fair, although the painted bay and dash would have been better off left alone imo

Engine bay looks great

Cant beat the red off spray on the fan belt or was that supposed to be painted red aswell

I couldn't see the bay, altho if he gets 160bhp it isn't unreasonable so whats the big deal???

theyre 125 out the box and all he has is a decat and filter, surely thats not guna ad 35bhp lol , even with a rotax s/c the sport can just reach 185bhp, so doubt hes gettin 160 na'd...

That would be right if it were a MY99/00 but its an MY97/98 by the looks so its 115ps out of the box

The red paint must add the power Slightly out on a Red Top

Good effort though.

Look closely at the front end pic. It appears to have phase 1 lights on it.

If so this tends to suggest it's an earlier car than the '97 it's advertised as, or else it's had a front-ender at some point and been repaired with the wrong headlamp units.

Spends all that dough and does nothing with the wheels

Doesn't look too bad, except the engine bay & dash.

He's gonna have to try and squeeze at least £250 out of a seller to pay for all those picture insert costs.
Shame the ads aren't charged by the word either.

the lack of pictures puts me off...if im looking at a car i want to see what it looks like

gtijames

that looks like a phase 1 sport that was 115 bhp,i cant see how those mods could get him near 160 bhp,the most powerful sport that was rr tested on the imprezasport website was newport white scoobies phase 2 125 bhp car which recorded 140 bhp,you wont see 160 bhp unless it has forced induction or some massively expensive engine mods.make a aport look nice, make a sport sound good,make a sport handle and stop well just dont waste your money making them go faster.apart from the engine picture it looks nice but in this day and age 3 grand gets you a decent turbo,so unless you can only afford to run /insure a sport its going to be a tough sell.

Fuzz

Maybe it had a turbozet as well FPMSL

Gareth NWS car blew up not long after that, in real terms it's only going to be about 125bhp at the most... you just can't tune them.

its the red paint in the bay that gives it the extra power going to have to get some of that

Am I the only person viewing this post to think that was a really clean engine bay until someone got hold of the luminescent orange paint? Ruined in 20 seconds flat.

Haha, oh I know, but I really don't have anything better to do today than reading through old posts in the hopes of inspiration and knowledge!
