Default Oh fellas, the very best yet !!!

I've seen some horse **** adverts on eBay but this one really takes some beating.

I actually can't believe it.....

Had to message him...
Heres what I wrote -

Hello, just got a couple of questions regarding your Impreza.
Where was the engine built and is the paperwork for the build available ?
Where was the car mapped, who mapped it and do you have the dyno print out ?
What gearbox is the car using ? I take it your running 6 speed with that power level.

Very interested in the car so look forward to your reply. As I'm sure you can appreciate, paperwork is very important as so many idiots try and sell imprezas with figures and specs plucked out of the air.*
Thank you and hopefully speak soon.*

If he can prove the figures he's quoted I'll buy the car. Would be very interested to see how he's managed to get 550bhp from a vf22.

Utterly mind boggling how some people can lie in an advert like this. Looking forward to his reply though, I'll see how long I can string him along,,lol.
What's the betting he comes out with, "well me mate said it was deffo around 550 cause his brother has got a 500bhp EVO and me Scoob is well faster "....

Oh dear, 550 of a vf22, that must be where we are all going wrong

since when did a 2.1 cost 12k, think i'll be starting a business building 2.1 strokers and i'll do a special price for the first 20 people off here of £10k

i asked
a few questions please.
are you sure this is a RA. it seems to be a four door.
what sort of paperwork have you got for the rebuild?
can you give me a breakdown of the 12K you spent?
do you have proof of 550hp? what boost level is used achieve this power?
i assume with this power you have fitted a 6 speed box. when was the 6 speed gear box fitted and does it have DCCD?
are you sure this car is priced correctly. with this sort of work done to the car should the price not be£19950? £2k seems really cheap for a 500bhp+car

sorry for the questions but i want to make sure the car is genuine as advertised?

Quite an impressive spec list to say the least, let's see:

SUBARU IMPREZA RA MODALE
X DEMMO CAR FOR JAP SPORT UK
LIGHTND AND BALANCED CRANK
LIGHT WAIGHT CLUCTH
FUEL PRESHER REGULATER
AUTO BAHARN INTER COOLER
GROUPE A EGSAURST
THE CAR HAS BEEN SET TO STANDARD BOOST CABLABLE OF 26PSI AROUND 550 BHP

Sounds like a gem to me...hmm.

Still no reply so messaged him again.


Dear 077jade123,

Please get back to me ASAP regarding the car. Very interested but am unable to call as I am deaf.
Really want to place a bid but need confirmation on engine/power/box etc etc.
Also, I'm a little confused on the title. It says RA but I notice it's silver, has rear wiper and electric aerial. Can you please elaborate further on the cars model please.
Thank you, look forward to your reply.

And here is my reply -


Dear 077jade123,

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I'm guessing the 5 speed must be completely uprated then to withstand 550bhp as the original Impreza boxes were very weak.
What do you have paperwork wise with regards to the engine build/power etc. Really don't want to come and view the car if it's not quite as described.
Thank you again and look forward to your reply.
