Default another ebay classic

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1997-SUBAR...item3f1620cea2

look at the 22b vents and the very strange simtek.

my mate was interested in it but no way is that engine spec right especially with a standard top mount.

yay standard slanty topmount, although he says he has bills to prove and a good explanation of engine work done rather than the usual made up superchip self modding ecu ebay lies.
if you peeled the stick on tat off and graphics it looks a nice car.

I would be delving in a fair bit deeper before bidding on it, something just doesn't seem right.

Also, the profile name looks like a car dealer and had no feedback.

369 bhp, doubtful with that top mount id have thought. but it has got an rcm 400 hybird turbo lol.
if it has got an rcm turbo i assume it would be something like a gt 30 and that alone is worth a few quid.

Was just flicking through eBay and came across this...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350545928040?redirect=mobile

Check the engine spec in my link and compare it to the spec in the OP's link. They are virtually identical and word for word.

It's the Apexi power FC controller inside the cabin that does it for me.

except he`s got 2 sets of rods in his, knew it was dodgy looking at the engine bay , no way does a getting on for 10k build look like that plus you couldnt use standard inlet with an rcm400 and i doubt the turbo cover would fit on either
