The spec looks more for a car that would be used in anger on regular trackdays/events, specially with the straight cut PPG 3rd/4th gears which i personally would use most on tracks and the quaife diffs. Not cheap!! :o
I bet the Turbo is an Andy Forrest hybrid.

Looks a cracking good spec and even though it's a 98 car i reckon

I reckon Trev's end of the estimate is more realistic. It's worth what someone will pay. Wagons are less desirable than Type R/RA saloons, even STi wagons. It'll probably fetch more in bits. :(

Nice spec. If it was owned or built by a 'name' it may find a buyer on S/net after 20+ pages of dross.

Less desirable but a seriously deadly secret weapon of choice for the descerning Scooby driver that doesn't need to shout about it.

I love my wagon because it looks so ordinary to mere mortals. With a bit of luck and a fair wind soon it will be back on the road as a semi STi sleeper wagon :evil:
and ready for some track action :stallone:

That car has got a seriously good spec and somebody that wants a serious bit of kit like that will pay decent money if it's in nice condition too. I don't think it matters that it's a 98 car as it would cost us many thousands to get that little lot together, and the time and labour that's gone into it won't be cheap either. I'm sure Gary can testify to that, and it wouldn't surprise me if a well known tuner has built that one.

Personally I like the Wagon, keep trying to get the wife to have one, good for dog shopping and her and it's an improvement on the Punto :o

Cars always make more money when split, We hate giving prices on cars which have had plenty of money put in them as they are not worth as much as expected.

Stick it on PistonHeads Classifieds as a personal advert, and it's free. See if it gets any interest. I'm surprised anyone would want to break a perfectly good 98 car as it's not even 9yrs old. Amazing!!

Is there something wrong with it??
