Does anyone know this RX (sales/131633.htm)?

[paradox]

I've been wanting an RX for years and the time has finally come!
I'm looking at this car on the forums and I'm wondering if anyone knows it (or would simply like to render an opinion )
www.pistonheads.com/sales/151647.htm

It seems to be posted here as well with a more comprehensive list of mods and more useful pics:

I think I've seen it come around before, with photos parked in a drive, sometime before xmas.

Are any of these mods liable to cause problems, anything specific I should look out for given particular mods, general value for money comments... any and all input welcome!

Thanks

Quick comment, I'm sure it's been done (Dragon are well respected), but make sure its got some form of aftermarket management system like an Apexi, otherwise it'll be running horribly lean

Is that going to entail upgraded injectors as well?

It'd have to have some for of aftermarket ECU to run the single turbo so it'll be most likely Apexi.

You need uprated fuelling and injectors for that power level too.

I have come across this car before - it was sold around 3 years ago through a dealer for around £12.5K (screen price). It was then in Dragon when my car was for a rebuild and was in a right old state having been shipped to him from Nemesis who I gather had just about given it up as a bad job. From what I gather the current owner spent a small fortune on it to get it running right.

If I were you I'd give Ross at Dragon a call to see what he did to it. I'm pretty sure it was a full rebuild and remap etc etc and I'd be suprised if it doesn't have some sort of upgraded engine management as I would think Ross would be less than inclined to warrenty any rebuild otherwise.

Hope this helps

Cheers
