Probably not - but it would make for one fast car if it could

not a chance in hell 
width is the issue and the space underneath regards to exhausts manifolds.
i have already weighed all this up regards to the impreza/legacy flat four.

Auction says Brand new, but if you look at the pics you can see bits of oil that the pressure washer missed. Lying B$^&ards

are you sure - look how shiny the sump is and how free of any rusts the sump bolts are.

I think that it looks a bit too good to be just cleaned up, so it's either a hell of a clean up job or is new.
I've emailed to ask if they have any paperwork for it that would prove newness for DVLA. I'm sure my Dad wouldn't mind one
more piece of equipment at his place for a few months.... (hmmm maybe I ought to phone though, just in case)

LOL s'ok mate, you can buy it off me in 6 months time once my dream has been completely destroyed
If you are seriously after it let me know and I'll lose all interest (which would probably be wise anyway...)

TBH I can't even afford to THINK about it at the moment - swmbo will do dastardly things to various bits of my anatomy 
I can dream though

I have a feeling SWMBO is likely to be doing that anyway the rate I'm going, so I doubt another purchase would make much difference
Not heard back from them yet about any paperwork for validity...

well, just received confirmation that they can supply confirmation that it's brand new in the invoice...
Hmmmmm this really is one of those opportunities... just to phone Dad now and ask about storage...

went for just a tad outside my budget for a bargain chance in the end! £1600 - not a bad price, but more than I wanted to spend on a gamble.

First dibs if you decide to sell it on later?
Who know, I might have won the lottery by then

LOL sorry - should have been clearer, it went for just over my budget so I didn't win it - I maxed at £1300. You can of course have first dibs
but I'll have to find the winner and nick it first :p
