Aggressive... nah, could be in a Subaru Showroom back in 2003 mate, looks standard as hell. Apart from the brakes, and the exhaust, and the bonnet, oh and the front mount and the etc etc etc...
You're going to need tyres with a bit more grip than that though, they'll light up pretty easily on full power I'd have thought!!

I think it looks toss, seems to be mostly little chav idiots that have that sort of thing done round our way.

Could you not sell the car private as is? Would seem a better option rather than strip it back to standard
It would be the easier option to sell as a package, but thus far all I've had is dreamers and hopeless part exchange offers. Had forgotten how irritating it can be to sell a car privately, hence why I'm considering selling the good bits for a few grand and accepting a decent trade in price for a 'standard' UK Turbo with 51k miles.
Some things will be easier to sell and easier to remove than others.The defi'sand nur spec would be the first on my list. Both are sought after and both are easy to source the replacement parts (I might even have a dash top for you).
The gearbox stands out as the biggest financial gain but also the biggest PITA to remove and replace.
On the other hand you could just grow a pair and keep it like a real man.
LOL @ growing a pair...
To be honest, was thinking about trading the car in the other day and had to pull myself away because I couldn't justify throwing all those mods away in trade price... not too fussed about taking the car off the road and removing the 6 speed set-up to replace it with a 5-speed set-up, although I realise it won't be the easiest job around, its a fair old chunk of cash sitting there that a garage won't give a toss if its there or not.
Do it. You will get circa 4k for a mint bog standard car. Also I have a whole uk turbo set up and want a 6 speed.You would make the asking price between selling the car and just the box alone.
Hmmm... that could be the way forward then, thought you were going PPG though mate?
None Grant keep it as is and enjoy, all you will do replace it with some thing else then decide its shat, and buy another scoob. Dig'in Lad
!!agree
lol, thanks lads... but I need to get something more practical for daily use while I tip toe onto the property ladder, once I know where I am financially after that... there is a large chance I'll return to the fold, for the 7th time.

Its had a new rear bumper at some point... thats a pre-facelift design.

Ah right ok mate, I wasn't interested in the car.. more just to be nosey and use it as a rough yardstick to see how well/badly I've priced my car.

Out of interest, whats the mileage on that car??

Part of me is thinking about stripping my car and selling it as a low mileage 'standard' UK Turbo rather than in the state of tune that it sits currently.. do you guys think thats a sensible approach or not??
Its got a JDM 6-speed conversion, Defis, APS TMIC, Blitz NUR Spec R Exhaust, Sports CAT, Prodrive Spoiler, OEM Leather, P1 Splitter, VF34, etc which could all be removed.. sold/part exchanged for standard bits + cash. That way, I could be free enough to sell the base car for cheap enough or even trade it in without feeling like I've given away something quite as special as it is just now.

Geoff, why a P1... surely a nice 4dr UK Turbo with 51k miles and a whole load of expensive bits fitted and a folder of history is a better bet??

Very sad news Callum, I'm sure you realise the main thing is that you and your passenger are safe, but it won't make you feel any better about losing the car.

Grant this is my mate's CSL. It's an absolute beauty of a car. Plus as close to a non-depreciating car as you are likely to get these days..
That sounds epic and they are both two essential mods to a CSL too.
Incorrect JW, he should be looking at going back to his Classic roots withs omething like this: http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=146256

yep with petrol prices so high its difficult to sell a car that does less than 25-30 to the gallon i tried to sell my hawkeye 06 sti for £9500 only offer i had was for £8500 so i,m keepin it
best of luck though
Christ almighty... thats a ridiculously low price for such a capable car, unless its got about 150k miles on it?!

Tempting Grant, just looked at the pics in the for sale section for this, looks rather tasty esp in that colour with that spec and mileage. You wouldnt happen to have some alternate alloys for it?
Have pinged you a PM about it buddy.

I've got a mint classic for sale, locally too.. would save you quite a bit of cash for a monster engine spec once you get bored of the 340bhp, the transmission is already in there to take north of 500bhp, so its just the engine spec that needs to be upgraded to whatever level you choose.
Its even got a P1 front splitter.

Whats the mileage on the car mate??

btw what times should a standard ppp,d sti run iv got 315,5bhp 330lft when it was rollers a few months ago
When I ran my standard STi Spec D at Crail, the best time I managed was a 13.0... forget the terminal speed. That was without being mapped/PPP'd or anything. IIRC it made 303bhp @ Wallace Performance Dyno Day as standard.

I'm so glad I was part of the de-lexus'ing and de-spoilering process... I even saved you some more weight when I lost a nut from the light cluster, every little helps.

Could of at least de-tango'd the lights Pedro...

Christ almighty dogs are expensive down your way... a highly pedigreed Labrador puppy around these parts costs c350.
Labradors are brilliant dogs though. Wouldn't be without mine now.

Show me a b7 rs4 for 25k? Been keeping an eye on these for a while now and they are still in the 30k+ range for a decent one.
Need to look again mate, you can get quite a few decent looking examples with reasonably low miles for 27/28k pre-haggle price... which is what I'd call the correct ballpark for someone looking to spend c£25k on something special. I know that if I was wanting to spunk that level of cash, stretching an extra grand or two to get something I really wanted wouldn't be an issue.

75k... lol.

Matt Black looks a bit council on older cars... newer cars get away with it, Focus RS500, 997 Porsche etc.

I'm keen to see a photoshop, but it sounds a bit max power to me buddy... possible re-think required IMO.

Should I?

No, not at all... just wish you'd been more up front about your budget to start with and I could have re-directed you to alternative cars at a level you'd be more comfortable with rather than showing you round/letting you drive my car; when there was little or no chance of you going through with the purchase.
