I'm aware modded things need to be done properly. I've heard of this Forrest chap and I'm aware the 5 spd box won't cope at the bhp so the 6 is good.
Apart from the silly stretched tyres it looks ok to me, so anyone?

I was looking at that ad just this morning. If the documentation is all there to back up the claims then it looks like a good buy. However, I would check out that arch to tyre clearance as it looks a little tight.

I agree.

He didn't build the engine though (RA Motorsport did) he merely mapped it. No mention either for who rebuilt in May after it let go.

I'd be keeping several grand back for another rebuild and for that reason, I'm oot.

Personally, too modified and too much money. Limited market come sale time. Standard is where the money is at the moment. You not fancy the older V5/6 STI wagon? Prices are strong at the moment and steadily rising.
