Looks like a very nice example to me and well looked after . You'd be looking at £7k+ for a rust-free Type r in that kind of condition, so all depends on what budget you have.

If i was looking for a classic on a budget of around £4k i'd be taking a good look at that one.

As above, I talked to Scoobyjam74 tonight about the very same car. Doesnt have 350 bhp, no uprated clutch or a forged engine, its just a wrx in drag that was sold for £2400 about 3 weeks ago and someones trying to pull a fast one. Its also a bit of a shed and no "show car" thats for sure. Steer clear.

i know this car quite well the guy has only had it just under a week he payed 2500 off a mate of mine and now its up for 4600 ish and funny coz now it has a painted red manifold belt cover and fuse box cover and the guy is full of poooo as he is claming it has a forged engine uprated clutch and running 350bhp thats all pooo aswell the paint looks good in the photo but its quite orange peeled so is far from mint and show the car is a joke to be far for that money i would price it as a 2.5k car tops

i can vouch it has a mines ecu and vf22 turbo and 3 inch system but im running 360/360 proven bhpin my classic and this car was left in my dust
i would stay well clear of it has half the bits this guy is saying is on it just aint

Check out the car that Neil from Eclipse has for sale his user is E_M_B, White type-R with a full newage twinscroll engine/turbo and Coilovers, Top guy and really knows his stuff,

This was his previous project before the Type-R, He does things properly.

It's now sold so someone made a fast buck! I just hope the new owner knew what they were looking at!
