It does look the dogs twitch and a bit different with the wheels, not my personal taste, but if it has everything the ad says it's a snip at 23k
for a 500bhp car.
And if your going to that level of tune it makes sense to buy a wrx.

I also like the fact it's running 500bhp with a rebuilt gearbox but it doesn't state which gearbox it is, if it's the wrx 5 speed unit it'd be scrap in another 50 miles
probably not worth as much as he is expecting but looks to be a genuine good specced car engine wise.
not you usual 550 bhp with a backbox ebay special.
i dont understand why he started with a wrx in the first place?
dont get me wrong i like the wrx i had 2 but if your going to this power level and money spend it seems strange to start with the wrx.
also mentions no brake upgrades
it says fully built gearbox, as opposed to what? one in pieces??

To be fair I've just dropped a new engine into my classic and that should be running over 400bhp (aiming for 430+) and I'm running just 4 pots on the front and single pots on the rear with braided hoses all round

because it already has uprated 6 speed dccd box and brembos.
ok the brembos are not great, but what would you upgrade the box with?
its commom knowledge the 5 speed box is the weak point when running big power

got a point didnt think about the 5 speed box part and please dont remind me about how **** the box's are I KNOW i'm very good at smashing them

that was the main point really, thats why i dont get why he didnt start with an sti.
he obviously has the spare cash for the sti over the wrx judging by the mods he has done.
The brakes aren't too bad to be honest, they aren't great but I bet once we start mapping it I regret not doing the brakes first
I don't think there is anything wrong with Brembo's. I had them all round on my last classic and they were fantastic, I'll definitely get another set for mine once funds allow If I were modifying a new age I would personally start with an STI
try putting carbon pads and they recommend some disc's to go with thats what i'm running £75 for pads but i pull up quicker than my mate jonh in his 56 plate sti with brembo's
And in a couple of weeks it's going to be a single turbo running a VF34 (whilst i save for a 6 speed box, a ScoobyProjects rebuild and either a juicy RCM or a Scoobyclinic Billet turbo - need something to poke the prezza boys with )

Funny you should be doing that whilst I was considering how cool it'd be to have 2 turbos on mine to reduce the lag TBH that'll be a sweet setup and I don't know why other TT owners haven't done it.

The reason why many don't go single is possibly due to cost (especially when a prezza does all that and more out of the box)
