22k? 
It is a nice car... No mileage quoted - which I find very reassuring and no guarantees that they guy who's modded it knew what he was doing...
Nah... If someone buys it fair enough but I think it way overpriced... Plus there's a hole in the roof

P.S. found a website the other day. It sell sports and performance cars only, has about 100 cars and 5 of them being uk 22b's. One owned by a Mr.Grist. 25k for 3 of them and 28k for his and another. When's the next lotto draw???

That is one dreamer asking 22k for that car. The mods do not increase the value of the car. Anyone modding their cars should know that. If anything, it's only an incentive for the buyers. That's why many people end up sticking the original parts back on.
A high performance car with internally modded engine with no guarantee, condition or mileage shown? And the footwork isn't even setup, by the sound of it. Standard shocks on 400hp + car? Understeer monster from hell!!! Also, Sti8 4 pots are OK, but doesn't specify disc or pads. I would want a little reassurance that the brakes are up to scratch when running such a high powered vehicle.
Sorry, to make a Scooby a straight line specialist isn't my idea of a great car, and certainly wouldn't spend that kinda money on that. (I say about half). Just my 2p worth.

This car looks sh*t IMHO why stick a new age bonnet scoop on a car with a front mounted intercooler and waterspray.
Not keen on the angled exit japanese style back box either...though like the idea of polished ports and ported heads.
Can't even spell Haywood right

)!Personally, I wouldnt pay that for it, but if I were looking at modding a car to similar spec, I would seriously then consider it - gotta be cheaper to buy one pre-modded and let the original owner take the hit on depreciation of parts?
Edited to add - although if I were spending that much, then Christian's car has to be better "value"!

I wouldnt pay over £15k for this car, and if I remember rightly it had around 30k miles on the clock.
