Oh and where is best for insurance I have tried one company Adrian flux and given the age and model of body and the engine swap forging and said that all advised mods for 400bhp and all available mods to lower the weight of the car without altering the interior . 3k miles a year .£645 , but they said it could get cheaper after a more detailed phonecall , does this sound about right ?? Feel cheap as most company's would not entertain insuring it for me ?

Drivetrain gearbox and everything that Andy forrest advised for a 400bhp 2.5 WRX STI in the 1995 body and frame was completed before the engine forging . I appreciate all the warning and doubts given as it gave me pause to reassess each time , this is what has led to me reaching out to my brother in-law ( been within the same group and watched the car being built ) and he has confirmed everything is as the owner says about the car . As well as my other friends that race with the same group . Obviously I have a mechanic that is willing to check everything over before I pay for it an the owner is 100% confident and has agreed to allow the inspection before he receives payment . It is this willingness to allow a professional to inspect the car that gives me confidence . And the mechanic I am thinking of using is not a scooby expert but drops LS3's in miata's and maintains a half dozen that he has built for people .

Savage bulldog it's the 1995 m reg WRX body and frame under 60k miles total . With the 2008 2.5l WRX STI engine that is fully forged and running 400bhp but is not run in only done 300 miles since engine work so still needs to be broken in

This build is based off of Andy's personal build 9-7 (engine built 7.5-8 years ago) I believe from the time this friend used to know Andy from going to events and so on . Yes it's the current engine that was built by scooby clinic not seen the spec sheet but it was their blueprint for 2.5 400bhp . The engine forging was done at the end I believe after Andy had already advised my friend on what specs he had in his own personal scooby at the time

Savage bulldog . This car has had drivetrain , ECU , suspension , bracks , strut braces , wishbones , bonnet lightweight , boot lightweight , alloy wheels are the lightest ones available , he said something about having a upgraded radiator and cooling system done . Interior is in brand-new condition but driver has racing seat installed I think he said it has stupid amount of sensors that all feed into a display and also record readings for analysing the cars performance on a track . Basically the owner and a group of his friends including my brother in-law and a few extremely rich people at least twice a year ship 20 cars on a container ship to race tracks around the world that they rent out privately for at least 3 days at a time . They met Andy forrest at some race event and he advised my friend about building a 400bhp scooby that Forrest owned personally himself at the time . My friend did all the work needed to run a 2.5l WRX STI at 400bhp in the 1995 bodywork then got scooby clinic to forge the engine ( presume after reading this thread it was because they have more experience that Forrest ) He only drove 300 mile with the ECU set to breaking in mode before his life went sideways , he has refuse to sell the car for 7 years ( not been able to have it on the road as not been in the financial position to do so ) he has stored it and maintained it . He has agreed to allow a mechanic of my choice to have the car in to confirm everything he claims before I need to pay him , he also claims to have the receipts for all if not the vast majority of work , he said the engine forge , drivetrain and ECU receipts he has them on hand . I know he has spent £25-30k building this car which yes not seen all the receipts but I have family members and friends that race with this group of people and everyone confirms it .

Rust free and it's JDM not UK turbo . One owner since import . Racing seat for driver but fully functional interior in brand new condition . Fully adjustable coil overs , front and rear strut brace . As said earlier about everything is altered in some way light weight bonnet and boot , ally wishbones . He said it has been made as lightweight as possible without compromising on the interior ( as said it s track ready but capable of daily driving ) . Oh and not yet been used on the track since all the work it has done under 500 miles so it is still on the breaking in setting limited to 4k rpm . And all the mods mentioned for 330bhp upwards have been done to the spec of Andy Forrest's scooby .

Fully forged from scooby clinic with receipt . It was built from the specs of Andy Forrest's scooby . Does this mean someone can give me a price now ??

Thank you for all the advice will write up a list of things to ask before I next speak to him , also ask for a list all parts changed and work undergone . And also make sure the mechanic I send it to knows exactly what the owner has claimed . As before I pay I want a proper mechanic to make sure everything is as it should be .

Also he has agreed to let me have it in my friends ( runs his own car mechanics garage and also builds his own custom cars ) check it all over before he takes payment .

The friend in question I trust racing and rally has been his life and known him 15 years plus . The engine is 2008 he had the Dyno done and was pushing upto 400 bhp . Not sure what he has done but he says the engine is like brand new and will need running in ? . Not sure if getting engine forged would mean running in the engine again , I'm not an expert but after asking brother in law and his positive feed back and reasurance it didn't look like a too good to be true thing just a friend really down on his luck . I could give the story but it's tragic a couple of phsyco ex's . And he is skint and is desperate for money to pay off debt and bills . Even if I get help knowing what questions I should be asking . I already have the forged engine one wrote down 370+ bad unless forged , but also something about 1.3 bar boost pressure . If there is anything else I should check and ask him it would be appreciated. And also if it is as he claims the ball park value .

I do not currently own a Subaru but I am about to buy one ( gentleman's agreement between good friends with a handshake ) but was wanting advice on the ballpark value . Personally it seems like a good deal , I can view the car and have . It is a M reg body chassis 60k miles done with a 2008 2.5 WRX STI engine . All other components have been upgraded for track days but is road legal . I even know the other people that used to rent out tracks for weekends for 20 friends and some expensive toys that this car was built by . The only issues is bodywork damage from a scorned ex of his . I have access to a very good mechanic with his own garage and we estimate cost for body work will be max £1000-1100. He also says he has the Dyno results for just below 400bhp . Not seen but as said a good friend . What would a general ball park value be ??. If needed I can get more info on the brakes , fly wheel , gearbox , clutch . As said everything needed to be has been upgraded even stupidly lightweight wheels .
