Not sure about the front bumper, the OEM one looks better IMHO. I thought that MY Type R STi only came in a very limited colour range. White, silver and black ??

Suspiciously cheap

The ad shows a few mods that i wouldnt be happy with, as theres no mention of an aftermarket ecu, and he claims its 350bhp. If its 350, it wont be a safe 350hp..

 

Looks a decent type R.
Front bumper looks Tommi Kiara style...
Too cheap imo.....

 

I'd be worried about it coming through Ireland first, recognise the first picture from on here I think but it does seem very cheap but then they may need the cash

 

vehicle is still limited to 112mph, but he then goes on to say it is tuned to 350bhp???

i know the limiter is in the clocks but surely they would be changed to read in mph?

 

Why be worried about it coming from Ireland?
Some of the nicest cars advertised that i have seen originate from the emerald isle....
Still too cheap though...

 

Chances are it hasn't done 34k miles either. They are so frequently clocked on import

 

** GUYS BE AWARE MY MATE WENT TO SEE IT ** he said it looks like engine has been changed and he thinks the car has been clocked back and he has had the car for quite a while at it is not selling Hence Price thats what my mate told me so thought i will share

 

Changed to what??? Doesnt matter if engine been changed, as long as its not knocking and it drives o.k, and the car comes back clean on h.p.i, then its a cheap type R, not going to be the cleanest and the price reflects that.

Could be a cheap Type R, im guessing he would shift from that price if he has had it up for sale for a bit!!!

 

That's what he told me he was upset because he really liked it oh well

 

What else was wrong with it, Apart from maybe being clocked??? Was the gearbox smooth no crunches etc, paintwork in decent condition????

Does look a cheap car, wonder if a bit of TLC would sort it, and a new front bumper.

 

Why is it not safe to run 350hp? sorry i am learning about the Subarus. what power can you run the the standard ecu?

Have you h.p.i the car in question?? it is on my to do list, but if you have all ready done it it would be great could you post up or p/m me the result please thank you.

Thank you for everybody's input.

 

Pm'd

 

With the hpi he is still waiting for v5 to come that's what my said

 

That also depends on if the engine was changed like for like and not just replaced with any old ej20, with the heads being the main reason for what i say.

 

i didnt ask my mate about the engine he just looked under bonnett he said and straight no and he has worked with and for subaru garage as a mechanic for 15 years

 

Im sure Ive seen the first piccie on here or sidc ??
