Hi just in the process of selling my car , had a potential buyer but was put off or taking the pee a bit obviously wanting more money of the car . He says its on the limit and could blow the engine . My cars a 2006 sti type uk widetrack running approx 370bhp . supporting mods are VR43 turbo , 3 port boost solonoid , rcm uprated fuel pump , perrin intake with apollo k+n induction , equal length headers with full decat exhaust and remapped by FB tuning . I thought its about right 350 to 380bhp with a vf43 turbo . cheers

Assuming it's a 2.5 Hawk (and not a very late 2.0 Blob) on its original engine then I could understand him being wary, but even with a standard 2.5 I would be budgeting for a rebuild based upon all the reported failures. If it has been properly rebuilt (or it's a 2.0 Blob) then a correctly set up 370bhp should be safe as houses. Happy to be corrected!

Seems about right. Rich knows what he is doing. Buyers often feel they have to say something, may want more off, or may have just seen something else they preferred. There's alot of dreamers too....

Nothing wrong with that at all. I know it’s not what the potential buyer claimed but mileage and price could be a factor. Few people on here looking to buy again. May be worth updating this thread. After all it is not a “for sale” thread so you can’t get your wrists slapped! 👍🏼

cheers , cars up for 11k with 83000 miles least i would have taken is 10500 as its in really good condition and must have had around 4k spent on it .
