0.2 bar boost extra over standard to get that sort of power is a bit unrealistic.

I would go and look at it before it ends as this part makes me think he's possibly got something to hide: Your appointment to collect can only be agreed after the deposit has been paid

Pub talk bhp by the sound of it, if there are no graphs or printouts from a dyno/rolling road to back up the sellers claimed bhp i would doubt those figures are true.

He said I can go look next week if it isn't sold by then. I can handle it being slightly less powerful as I can tinker myself. Its the grade 4 that attracted my attention

Don't 4get to ask for the reg plate number to HPI it.

There's a company you can text for £3 to get a report. A google search will find it.

Sorry but it sounds like he needs his p1ss testing for crack!

IMHO I would leave it alone and find a Subaru well looked after by it's owner who's only selling for a genuine reason! (I know it's hard to find that sort of car but they do pop up with genuine people!)

All the best fella!
