Just wandered if anyone knew any history about this car or had any general thoughts

Cheers, Steve

Seems to chat ****e in the advert. No mention of what turbo, and what's the Sti in white scrap yard pen on the manifold. And the mentioning of being "cammed up" just reminds me of a nova boy racer ! Spec b? Only spec b I know about is a legacy !

However the car does look ok, and is local to me. If you want I could take a look if he brought it to our garage !!

Don't know it, looks OK, but a little concerned about the sellers claims of it being a 500bhp engine with cams, not knowing what turbo it has and also that it has a 'Welbro' fuel pump fitted, doesn't strike me that the owner is all that knowledgeable about the car, Oh and it's got a 4" exhaust system apparently?!?

Also it looks like it has STI-8 marked on the inlet which is slightly odd, I've only seen this on breakers parts?

Worth seeing in the flesh I'd have thought.

Also if you look on the t/belt cover it has a jdm sticker. So it stacks up that it's had a engine transplant!! But why ? Car could have had a very hard life being thrashed around or a bad map which could lead to engine failure again. But on the upside the jdm engine is a little better than a uk version.

That was quite reserved by your standards Paddy.

I wouldn't touch that car on the basis that the advert chats such a load of utter shyte.

Don't be daft lad, the op has asked for advise it's good that's he's getting the same info of a few folk to help back up his decision.

Dealers are utter ***** from chorley, I went to see an x5 and the guy was a proper **** I actually walked away because of that, I'm not giving my money to some arsehole, in the end went to Nottingham and found one better loaded by a decent seller too.

Have they removed the EJ20 and replaced it with an XE?
