SOLD
Will consider a p/x if interesting & under £1500. Cheap way to almost 450hp + we all know that even standard classics p*ss on those lardy new age cars ;) Started as a standard classic of course, c215hp, back in 2007 (previous owner) - see attached pics. Car was modded over a couple of years to 350hp, then previous owner decided to take it to 450 :norty: When I got the car late 2009 it was running just shy of 400hp albeit now is at 447. I've attached a couple of images of the build + a few of how the car looks now. Rebuild happened at 88,500 miles ... I've only done 7k miles since then (late 2009) so car is now on 95,700. Most of the major components are new, see spec list below. Spec is pretty tidy imho & is as follows: Closed deck block New under piston oil squirters Wiseco 92.5mm forged pistons Manley forged H beam rods STI V3 heads polished and ported 3 angle valve seats Supertach valve stem oil seals Brand new API supplied genuine subaru V4 STi crankshaft ARP head bolts and rod bolts Cometic 1.3mm head gaskets ACL race spec big end and main bearings RCM modified oil pump 740cc injectors Parallel fuel rail conversion using stainless steel braided hoses Sard FPR Forge dump valve MD321T turbo with custom 3" intake and air filter RCM headers, heat wrapped Harveys special up-pipe, heat wrapped HKS 3" bell mouthed decat downpipe HKS silent hi power 3" exhaust system and backbox Autobahn88 FMIC with custom candy red pipework Magnecor 8.5mm HT Leads Mocom Racing oil catch can Underdrive pulleys Blue autobahn 88 silicone hose kit (coolant) PPG straight cut gearbox in a P1 housing with kazz plated front diff Exedy API clutch and API lightened flywheel P1 rear diff and drive shafts Redline shock proof gear oil whiteline drop links pink powder coated anti roll bar cusco front H brace STI carbon fibre strut brace Hard race uprated engine mounts and transmission mounts including the dog bone gearbox mount MAC 3 port boost solenoid NGK PFR7B with gap down to .65mm Silkolene Pro S 10w50 oil Bilstein prodrive suspension. Rota torque alloys with TOYO T1R tyres. Autronic SM4 ecu with antilag (off) and launch control (on) (removes the MAF) Car mapped by B Rawle D2 8 piston braked calipers and 330mm discs STI V6 carbon fibre rear spoiler PIAA wipers STi ally bonnet (much lighter than uk steel version) Jap spec water bottle RCM carbon bonnet vent Guages & pod - boost, water, oil Taxed until end Nov 2011. MOT to Jun 2012. Oil & filter changed every 6 months regardless of low miles - Fuchs Pro S 10w50. Car initially looked after by Zak @ Mocom Racing albeit now looked after by Rich @ FB Tuning / S4U. Insurance is no problem for me even with the mods - suggest you contact Gary @ Keith Michaels. Private plate is not for sale so I'll need a couple of weeks to transfer it off the car. Thanks for looking. TX. |

WOW John I can't believe this:(
Why are you selling mate?:( |
For some reason I always change cars between 18-24 months after I buy them :wonder: it's about that time ...
I never did get that chance to blast past you ;) TX. |
LOL,your right but it's bad timing on your part as I have mine rebuilt now with some new editions including some funky heads and cams/valves and more to be revealed and due for remap on the 23rd.
Oh and just put a deposit on some nice 6 pot Tarox brakes:luxhello: Still I have to say I love your ride for being a stealth beast with nothing much on the outside to say whats lurking beneath the bonnet. Good luck mate:thumb: |
People were certainly curious to see under the bonnet on the 30-130 days :lol1:

Really nice TX,looking very good:thumb:
Good luck with sale matey :thumb: Jura |
Cheers fella. Had a look at your build thread ... car's looking :cool:
TX. |
Beautiful car, worth much more than advertised. Todays market will make it very hard to sell at that price though, people are spending money on newer cars! Have you considered breaking it? I think you make much much more than your asking price!
|
Really nice car ,I almost had it bought over here at one point but you pipped me at the post.GLWS
|
So what you going to replace it with then TX? This will take some beating to replace...
|
Next car will be slower without doubt :cry: 300hp, rwd ;)
