Just browsing the 'bay as you do and came across this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/98-S-SUBARU-IM...item41559a58e2

Quite cheerful and eccentric dealer who's very proud of his 450bhp aquisition (nothing unusual there), but when I saw that to reach 880bhp (YES 880bhp) is a stand alone ECU it screamed 'classic pub talk'.

Nice car, but no mention of brakes or drivetrain upgrades to cope with 880bhp

 

this has been posted before but still a very fuuny read about his 880bhp "scubby"

 

wow that's a lot of horses i wonder if the insurance would quote me happy

 

Indeed, this £5k car has a £21k WRC engine

TX.

 

hmmm...i smell s**t.

 

Wow, I hope the guy that wrote that ad isn't the same guy that built the engine!

 

Think this site needs a forum "look what ****e's up for sale now".

 

 

At 880BHP will lead Scoobynet BHP leaderboard.
I think this dealer need this forum for advice....

I think the SCUBBY looks okay.

And it has been OWNED AND BUILT BY SPECIALITS CLOSE TO WEAR HE LIVES.

 

WHY ARE ALL THESE ADS MIS-SPELT AND IN BLOCK CAPITALS?

FIRST AND FORMOST I MUST OPEN UP BY SAYING IT HOW IT IS......IVE OWNED AND DRIVEN OVER 40 SCUBBYS (though I've no idea that the nickname is really "Scooby" even though I've had 40 of them), ALL THE DIFFERENT VARIENTS TURBO 2000~ WRX~WRX STI~ 22B~ R5~ PRODRIVE~IVE HAD EVO 4 AND 6 U NAME IT.SOME OF THEM APPARENTLY RUNNING@ 350+BHP.WHEN I WAS TAKEN OUT IN THIS ONLY SUNDAY JUST GONE I WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH ITS BRUTALITY AND AM STILL TELLING FOLK ABOUT THIS NOW....INFACT THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK ARE STILL STANDING UP!!

ILL ADMIT IVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE FOR THE SCUBBYS WITH GRAPHICS WITH BODYKITS (because I'm a chav),SO THE LOOKS EQUAL THE POWER.AFTER THIS SUNDAY THE SIMPLE ORIGINAL LOOK OF A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING IS MUCH MORE FUN!! ALL U NEED TO KNOW IS NOTHING OUT THERE CAN TOUCH U!! ITS A NICE FEELING!!

OWNED AND BUILT BY SPECIALITS CLOSE TO WEAR I LIVE (Sorry for my really poor spelling... the cars I provide are also this poor). I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A RUN DOWN ON THIS CARS ENGINE AND INTERNALS.THEY HAVE SIMPLY SAID TO ME THEY WANT THIS CAR AIMED AT REAL PEOPLE IN THE KNOW WHO WILL READ ON AND LOOK AT THE ENGINE PICS AND APPRECIATE THIS CAR FOR WHAT IT IS!!

THIS IS AS FAR AS WE KNOW (disclaimer...) THE QUICKEST SCUBBY ON MASS AIR FLOW!

IM TOLD IF RUNNING ON SHELL OPTIMAX IT WILL BE EVEN QUICKER THAN 450BHP (And I say "I'm told" because then when someone challenges me and says I'm full of ****e, I can say "yeah but no but yeah but someone told me tho so it must be true"). (Surely 450BHP is a measure of power, not speed? How can it be quicker than 450BHP!)

ALL IT NEEDS TO BE 880BHP IS A STAND ALONE MANAGMENT SYSTEM! (The biggest lie ever told on the internet)

It doesn't encourage you to go and look at it lol

 

very good

 

Park cars in coventry.. Hahaha. Says it all. They're thick as pig **** there. He blatently ripped someone off and got it in px for a cavalier Ls he has in the back that was a 340bhp redtop superbusa turbo plus with nitrous dioxide.... Lmfao

Idiots. I gaurantee you now, that car will fall to bits 5 mile down the road and is running 240 bhp

 

If you went to view it, you would be to watch where you stand cos of all the bullsh*t!!!

 

I just fed my ipad imodium to flush the **** out the screen

 

well he must of ripped people off before, have you seen his rateings, 83.3 % cant be very good at selling stuff, someone should ring him or go see it and just waste his time, and see what he has to say.

 

They did this on the GT4OC once with something similar, messaging the seller and he actually posted the questions on ebay until one of them totally ripped the sh*t and he twigged what was going on then he removed the item from sale.

It was rather ammusing to say the least

 

i like the part about the car will be sold with group n engine parts, isnt that a standard production car for rallying with no engine mods etc???

 

WOULD LOVE A BMW M5 AS PART EXCHANGE

I bet you ****in' would!!!!!

I'd love to get noshed off by Nigella but it ain't happening!

 

yeah bet he would

 

Some GPN engine parts are different to standard subaru bits. Yes alot of stuff on a GPN car are the same as a standard road car but not all.

 

Hasnt that pile of dog poo sold yet?maybe no one can tame all that power,i mean bullsh*t.

 

Wow what an ad!!! Was really tempted to buy that and blow everything off the road and to sit next to my 1000 bhp bike in the garage

 

****!ng brilliant. Hahaha

 

It's gone down since you posted that
