bought it as is and was told that the engine was built by a professional race engine builder in Melbourne and it puts out 450 HP. I can't confirm this but have no reason to doubt it.
Love that line lol.

From the pics I can see massive radiator and a 9 inch. Maybe it does have some serious power, I can't see any reason you'd need to improve the diff or radiator for anything below 300HP.

The brakes are just drilled, not "big" as he claims. Depends on your definition of the word "big" I guess.

Interesting find none the less Shauno.

Oh, and that surge tank thingo in the boot.

I guess those things could be for race purposes as well.

I can see it going for 2 laps on a track, then the heat would kick in and kill it... PING PING PING...

More details needed on the turbo and supporting gear needed.

it looks like a good buy except for the fact that you'd either have to rewire it or buy a motec along with their stupid codes to unlock extra features.

i was actually thinking of using an EA as a race car but then decided the chassis and driveline are too ***** to use as a base.

All this one needs is a hydraulic handbrake and some good susp, it buy it if it was 2grand.

Though this would be interesting seems like it has some kinda serious setup to it. Not many of them getting around.

yer its obviously a serious car and imo a steal at the price. theres 10k worth of setup in the car.
Cage seat and harness would be at least 2.5k alone not including fuel system, motor, custom tanks, 9" etc etc
If i had 4k id buy it.

Exactly what I was thinking, a T5 would last all of 5 minutes behind 450hp.
