STi TYPE R V4 EJ257 - AFP20g
A painful sale! I have put a lot of work (and money!) into this car and it pains me to put it up for sale but I just cant justify having 2. Its a real head turning car and the paintwork is in excellent condition. Car will come with 10 months MOT and Tax.
It has never wanted for anything and has always had regular servicing. The engine was built by Zen performance and has covered about 12k since then, some of these were running in miles. When built no expense was spared, I used a brand new EJ257 and some top parts as listed below. Its always been looked after by Zen and I have a lot of receipts for all the work. Surprisingly for a 2.5 it uses no oil what so ever, it has an oil change every 3k and during that time I have never had to top up. Not sure if this was my excellent running in or Zen’s excellent build! Comes with all the receipts to prove work.
The Car has done 62,000 which is irrelevant really as the engine is only 12,000 miles old.
Last time it was on a rolling road it made 380/380 (Zen’s old Dyno which reads lower than most others) with the boost coming in nice and early. It has since had an FPR fitted and the map tweaked to suit and it felt much quicker. I would guess now its 390/390 – 400/400.

I keep going back to this on the for sale sites as it's a great spec and decent mileage. Unfortunately I don't have the spare cash for it 
Still not a fan of the front bumper but can't fault the rest of the car at all.

Lovely to me you today Dave and a huge thank you for being patient and explaining things to a newbie 
Got it home safely and now tucked away in the garage (just fits!)
Good luck with your new project and hope to chat with you in the future.
I hope nobody was badly hurt in the accident that closed the M25 J28-J29. If it was human error that caused thousands of us delays and frustration then I'm very !""££$$ off.

I took the family out for a quick spin and asked them what they thought of the car later.
Wife: If I go in it again, I'm sitting in the back with a crash helmut on
Daughter (who was in the back): It was scary, it made loud noises!
So, a successful introduction to the scooby then

Sorry, that made me chuckle, as did your description of the outing.
Welcome to the world of Scooby ownership, and at least the traffic jam gave you longer to enjoy being in it (he said, knowing what a pain it must have been).
The car looks a cracker.
