seems to be something fishy with it! anyone notice on the last photo there's a grill in front of the fmic but it has no grill in the earlier photos? or is it just the light that's deceiving me.

When you see figures thrown about like 'I've spent 60K' or 'I've spent 100K', 9 times out of ten its complete BS.
Without detailed spec lists to back up where all the money had gone you should always take it with a pinch of salt. Remember fellas, £100,000 is a serious amount of money and I can assure you very very few Imprezas in the world have had that amount of money thrown at them. Also take into account that when you say 'I've spent X amount' you should not factor in purchase price and general service/maintenance.

I saw this ad on ebay too and email the guy about how he got 500bhp out of a SC400. This is what he had to say...
"Honestly don't know mate we were all suprised when it ran on the dyno we put it down to the car being a 3.0 instead of it being a 2.5"
I was under the impression that bigger displacement made less lag but bhp stayed the same, anyone know if this is true?

Well a bigger displacement can result in more power but you are still limited by the boost pressure. Unless his intake is really good or the mappers don't calculate the efficiency correctly or his engine has a ridiculously low amount of friction it's unlikely.

ring up tileys of bristol,,subaru main dealer and ask them how much steve davies (me) has spent with them and im sure they would be willing to give you a rough idea on the spot,,,,60k is just my receipts form them and ill post up a pic of one bill from them tomorrow just to show you one of the builds i had done and iv had a few,,,and as far as spending money on scoobs ,,,,one of my mates spent over 80k and didnt even finish the project and another mate that i know has spent more than me on his classic
You don't need to start posting pictures of bills etc chap to prove your spend..
Would love to see a spec list though fella, you must have one hell of a motor after 60 large....

I didn't say in my post that YOU have not spent a huge amount of money on your car fella. I actually said that 9 out of 10 people who quote huge figures are actually way off what they have actually spent.

Strange thread this.
I quite like the look of the original black car this was posted about. Am also intrigued to see a full spec list of the car and some proper rolling road graphs. Can see how a 3.0 litre would make a little more power over a 2.5 but it seems unlikely it would make 100 more than the turbo has been previously rated and tested to.
Be very interesting to see some more detail if the seller is reading this?
By the way. GLWTS. Lol
p.s. Nice Blob mate!

to be honest if i even thought id spend that on the scoob when i went to buy it i prob wouldnt have bothered but i love the car now and spending money on it feels like i buying my kid new things ( i havnt got a kid),,,,my mrs is very good with everything aswell and when i told her im prob looking at spending another 30-40k she didnt even blink so i got her a 1 carrat diamond ring and asked her to marry me (that was 4 weeks ago and im still chuffed about it)

Has that guy used the first camera ever invented to take those pics ?
What a shame its a smart looking car he should have spent £5 more on a throw away camera it would have done a better job...
