Default £18k ..... really?
That price has got to be a wind up surely? its quite obviously not an sti, unless its had its 6spd and brembos removed ..... saving weight maybe?

Or maybe hes just a sandwich short of a picnic???? ..... might explain why he thinks 500bhp (assuming hes not full of ****) on less than standard brakes (EBC yellow gusset pads) isnt a bad idea.

If he finds a buyer for this at that price ill eat my own foot!

ebay number - 301008675476

sorry tubs, wouldnt want you missing the oppurtunity to sink your teeth into this one!

No roof scoop, but stickers and dump valves a plenty! And the inlet pipe looks particularly motorsport..... motorsport still uses gaffa right????

decent engine and turbo, 5 speed box and **** brakes and its a wrx.

not even worth half of the asking price.


engine is capable of 500bhp so maybe he knows a lot more than the poster of this thread

I just copied and pasted the URL .... usually works!

Without getting your usual rant on tubs, fancy taking a step back and calmly explaining what i did wrong?

Funny this one as it's the car that Alan and I had a huge argument about due to the fact that it made 499.7bhp on the dyno. He said that's not 500bhp, I said it fekking well was, lol !

What you picking up on that was way off enough for you to continue being such a c**t?

The eating of my own foot?

Read it again a bit slower and you might get your head round the context.

Is this the one he had a rant about in the Total Impreza magazine? I referred to it when chatting to Alan a few days ago, albeit in the wrong context!

Looks like a good car, but the fact it's covered in those awful stickers and is essentially a modified WRX does not make it worth £17k.

But it does make it an absolute bargain for whoever buys it at half the asking price!

impressive engine build but surely some of the budget should have been spent on brakes. brembos at least but ap 6 pots or similar at this power level.

Looking at the complete lack of attention to detail id be very concerned about trying out that nice engine too.

If hes happy to use halfords ducting as an inlet pipe, im guessing theres other little gems of bodge it and scarper in there too..... could be an accident waiting to happen.

And why do people add "Litchfield Type 25" to their descriptions when it clearly isn't one?
