Gary, it is a STI Type R

If you are looking for an STi without having to worry about the problems of the usual unreliability problems then you can't ignore this ad! This car has a 2.5 Sti bottom end that has only covered around 3000 miles since being fitted and the spec speaks for itself!

Spec:

- 2.5 Sti 10 engine

- P1 heads that were crack tested and matched to cuit the 2.5

- Andy Forest TD06 20g turbo (rebuilt a few months ago and still under warranty)

- Front mount intercooler and hardpipe kit

- Apexi Power Fc and Commander management, mapped by JollyGreenMonster

- Apexi 3 port boost controller

- K&N induction kit

- Fuel pressure regulator

- Lateral Performance 800cc injectors with V pattern modification

Please ask any questions, but no test pilots or tyre kickers.

Cheers

Had a look at it fella, and even to Carl's admission the bodywork is showing a sign or two or being tracked. It I agree would be a cracking track car - but not sure it's an everyday stead.

This one is slightly over budget but has a great spec and you could try to meet him in the middle. The pictures arent the best on the ad as there are no side views of the car.

Hi Paul,

Now that does look the business - with all the right parts by the looks fo things too, just e-mailed him to see what his thoughts were price wise and also to see if he has any other pics of the inside and under the bonnet.

Many thanks

Just got a reply and he says he will not accept £7k, such a pity as it looks one hell of a beast.

Cheers for the link anyway, any others you find please let me know.

Thats the one I'd have. White is amazing for a classic. My ideal would be an STi Wagon in white. Lovely car mate.

There must be something about white classics and me, the first Scoob I had was one, the rally car was one - and this may just be the hat-trick!!!

If it hasnt already been i would spend the money you have left having it mapped for uk fuel.

That white type R looks a lovely car. Even standard and remapped will be a quick car. Wheels, coilovers and Recaro's are a big bonus! Didnt Fee and Adam get there Type R from that place. Perhaps message them to find out if they knock some money off the askng price. I would swap the P1 for that car.
