I also didnt believe the 400bhp claim on the Black and Yellow one...
But I thought that with the Mods on the silver one, the claim of 381bhp wasn`t too far fetched... And I liked the look of it and thought the engine bay was nice and tidy...... THAT`s all I have ever been on about....

I felt I never desreved the and for saying I liked that silver one and thinking the 381bhp could be met with the mods he listed.... And as replies got worse, ruder and more personal, I will not back down and be verbally bullied into silence.

I`m not a full on expert and I`m always open for someone to explain and put me right on things.....

Instead of & . How about starting with -

"Actually Phil, yellow injectors can`t give enough of a fuel flow and the ECU he`s using isn`t Re-mappable, so his claims of 381bhp just aren`t possible M8"
Again you seem to assume you have a god given right to tell people what and how to reply to you... That in itself is a form of bullying if you want to be pedantic. As long as replies are within the forum T&C's I don't particularly give a monkeys what you think of peoples replies, especially mine. If you carry on as you have started however picking pointless battles then your time on here won't be much fun and you'll just receive more of the same hostility. Look a little closer to home for the faults - genuine bit of advice from experience.

Pointless Battle? The only Pointless Battle is to expect Politeness and NOT to have the Smilies used in A Riducling Manner...

Just to remind You of All That it is I First Posted To Have The

Ref - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Modified-Subar...item3368435469 (The Silver One)

"Just looked at this Ad.......... TBH, it`s not a bad Spec and quite a nice looker.... 381bhp is quite acheivable on that car....

So many photos of every angle, I couldnt really find fault anywhere. I liked It
I wished under my bonnet looked like that....
"

I won`t put up with being Ridiculed for no reason in real life, I won`t either online.

You say I`ll Just have an unpleasant experience here... You`re right about one thing...

I never was, I didnt like that one either..... I clicked the link to the silver one that was added to page 2 of this thread...

And I actually did like the look of that one, it was a nice clean standard silver STi (It had a few too many Scooby Stickers on it for my liking) under the bonnet looked good...

Maybe you should have been a bit clearer then. A simple misunderstanding.

Ok, lets put the silver one to rest
381bhp (now that he has changed it to 281bhp) wouldnt be achievable on that spec, no upgraded engine parts, the turbo may make 350bhp if your lucky, the injectors would be useless long before that though (320-330BHP max), the brakes wouldnt suffice, the chipped ecu... dont even want to go there but he would need another ecu if he wanted that sort of power and for it to run safe (probably isnt with those mods and his "chip" )
So silver one done with first one is a heap, cant say better than that and I think we all agree there

Trouble is that lots of these cars are badly modified, stupid bhp claims on standard parts etc, we know they wont make that power (for long ) but some poor person who is suckered in wont until it goes bang
