Hi
Hi lads yes the car in question is mine just want to list off a few point I have noticed a lot of you are talking about on here
1. Yes the pics are **** but what muppet by a car by looking at the pics
2. I have spent a 100000 on the car in the 3 years I have owned it but no where on the listing does it say there's a 100000 worth of parts on the car purely put that up to show the cars been lookd after
3. It has a cut gear box in it bought offline leas than a month ago
4. Heard someone said I have a cv joint gone no it was the rear diff has a LSD put in to today by pole position
5. I have all the receipts for all the things on the car and what's not on it anymore
6. The car is running 500 bhp with dyno to prove only way it's not is because I have been tricked and been given false results witch I don't think so because I use propper companies with reputations to up hold
7. The car has been stroked to 3.0 from what the engine builder told me
That's about it lads hope this answers alot of your questions

I agree completyely with damienP1 ..... bang on!
Writing out a spec sheet for my insurance company and then sticking prices next to all the bits gave a pretty shockin total at the bottom ......If when i bought my car for £4k, someone had told me id spend another £20k on it i wouldnt have believed them ..... and thats just the bits that were on it when it was finished, never mind the labour and bits that werent up to scratch and replaced as i figured stuff out during the build! In reality, if i had receipts for absolutely everything i spent and all the labour costs it would be nearer £40k.
Anyways, my build was done on the cheap with alot of work done by me and engine work done by a semi reputable garage with a fixed quote at the beginning. If id payed per hour labour for myself and the garage i used i could easily stick another 10 to 15k ontop of that! If id gone into shell modification there could potentially be another £10k on that again ..... it all adds up!
So my view on this thread is this-
Yes, its easy to spend ALOT of money on cars when theyre your hobby/interest/project/learning experience/track toy ..... all of the above!
Yes, costs can get slightly out of hand if you just give the responsibility to a garage who knows youve got fairly deep pockets and you tell them you want the best for that car!
No, this 100k hasnt been spent wisely .... sorry blackknight, but for more than 3 times the money ive spent id expect alot more bang for your buck. I think the least you can do is bang a complete spec sheet up here so people can see what youve done.... if you want to sell the car your going to need to do it anyway so why not! Ill PM you a template, just fill it in and copy and paste it into a post on this thread .... roberts your mothers brother!
The other wee problem i have is this statement ....
"The car has been stroked to 3.0 from what the engine builder told me"
Surely your interested in the car .... how do you not know exactly what youve payed him to do????? or did you just give him the car and say "heres a blank cheque and my scoob .... ping a bangin engine in it!"

2.Completely off topic but what do u do for a living u must be on a minimum of what 40 grand a year. R there any vacancies need a job.
3.Fair enough because a lot of people will be wondering whats going on with that important piece of the puzzle.
4.U got some backup there, using a reputable company. Any 1 on here could ask them 2 confirm. Thats a good thing
5.Makes sense when combined with 2.
6.Drop that on here 2 shut every 1 up.
7.That has already been mentioned so clear this up.
At the end of the day its for yr benifit not mine. I know I might be sounding a bit harsh but I'm not. If people were saying things about my car I would want 2 put the record straight.

1.Yr selling on ebay thats how u buy things. I know there r quite a few people on here including myself who have bought a car by looking at pictures and asking questions. When u go 2 pick up the car or have it delivered u check it 2 make sure it matches up. Don't forget yr selling a car so u have 2 go out of yr way 2 appeal 2 the widest market. So yes PHOTOS R IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!

It hurts a lot.
Unless I'm misunderstood but have you guys stopped to think. I could actually be dislexic and also suffer from ocd. So my spelling and English is off. I do struggle with it a lot and I did throughout school.
By trying to make this perfect has taken me over 10 minutes. Yes thats 10 minutes.
This is one of the reasons I use my IPHONE because it does a lot of autocorrecting and it all so finishes off the words.
(this actually isn't a joke)

I have 2 but 1s my Mun's I'm insured on it lol. It's a classic facelift STI with front mount, bigger turbo, pipercross induction kit, even headers and a 3.5" to 5" exhaust. Not sure on exact BHP but previous owner showed dyno print out of 340bhp. But like I said not sure.
My own car is a Blobeye wrx but with supporting sti upgrades. Bigger intercooler straight through de cat exhaust from the turbo etc. need 2 get it on a dyno and see what it's running lol just bought it last week.
It looks just like your car. your real car not yr pic looool.
Not sure where you live but do u come 2 the wmi meets. See u there if you do.
