Ok me then, here we go:
Hi mate. i am interested in the car but there is not much description on the ad. Could you tell me what mods have been done to make it 380+ BHP? Forged engine, turbo, injectors etc. Who done the remap? Uprated gearbox?
Many Thanks Lee.

What annoys me about this is, i've had mine up for sale recently, completely standard 225bhp, and all ive had on ebay are complete numpties asking "how fazt iz it!?" and "cnt be jst 225 mate itz a scooby" - well yes, it is, because i arent lying about the power. Infact OP, if you want you can have mine for £3,500 - it's got 1652BHP with printout to prove (photoshopped of course) but its definately 1652BHP, no doubt about that, it has to be because im telling you it is.

The sooner these sh1te eBay trashy cars are burnt, crashed or broken the better. Then the rest of us can get on with life (and the fact we're no longer driving chav charriots)

Had a bit of communication with the seller:
Me to jeffshillito2009:
Hi, Please can you tell me a little more about the modifications? Also who mapped the car? Is the gearbox and engine standard? What turbo are you running to get 385bhp? Also, do you have receipts for the mods and a rolling road graph to prove the power please? If so, could be interested. Many thanks. Brian
jeffshillito2009 to me:
I've got loads of receipts but all the modifications done before I bought it, original gearbox, but I am not that up on mechanics, jeff
Me to jeffshillito2009:
Hi mate, Thanks for the reply. Am really hoping you have some receipts for the engine mods the car must have? 385bhp is not normally possible on a Subaru without some supporting mods so was hoping you have evidence of an engine rebuild showing forged pistons, forged rods, decent gaskets etc to support the power.? Also, if your running a standard 5 speed gearbox then this could also be on borrowed time as these can easily fail well under 300bhp. Do you have details who mapped the car? And possibly a rolling road print to prove the power? If so this would be great. Thanks again, car looks great by the way! Brian
jeffshillito2009 to me:
come have a look, I bought it is a spare car and not to up on the mechanic side, jeff
Me to jeffshillito2009:
Hi again, Thats kinda why i'm asking these questions really. Would like to make sure the car is what it says it is before I make the journey. If I do make the journey it will be to test drive and buy! Can't tell if the engine has uprated internals by looking when I visit so will need some paperwork to prove this if available? Also, do you have any info on the turbo fitted to achieve 385bhp? Many thanks. Brian
jeffshillito2009 to me:
where do you live, could drive to you its good fun drive in it, jeff
Me to jeffshillito2009:
Lol. How would you get home if I bought the car when you were at mine? No offense meant to you mate, but I personally wouldn't even look at a car until I could see some form of receipts or proof. Your car stands out from the croud because you have advertised it as 385bhp. But, you have not actually told me yet that you have evidence of the actual power its making, or the spec. So for all I know it could be a totally standard 200bhp subaru. If that's the case i'd rather not waste both our times and have you drive to mine. If the car is actually what you say it is, then it sounds like a top car. Thanks, Brian
jeffshillito2009 to me:
the car was a trade in against an r32 at my mates garage , I bought it because I loved it, I am not a mechanic but my mate is , so I thought why not buy, if it doesn't suit you don't buy it, no offence either, jeff
Me to jeffshillito2009:
Completely understand mate. No problems. Think on this occasion I will give it a miss. Am always too careful when buying cars. lol. Sure at that price someone will snap it up regardless of the actual spec of the car and regardless if you have proof of power or not. Just be careful there is no come back on you if your advertising it as 385bhp with no idea if it actually is or not. Thanks for the info, sorry if I have messed you around. Good luck with the sale.
