Right, it's 130 hp, the 2.5 can run around 160. He's done a lot of work, but the paint job isn't my favorite.  Only Go Westy can justify a price like this, they fix everything.  His A/C is not working, though the early ones were poor anyway.

Go Westy should be putting in Subaru engine in my opinion. I've seen too many of their tricked out WBXs blow up around 50k miles.

But I thought the 2.2 was less than 160 HP  ?

He's obviously "shooting for the stars" in terms of ask price but it might well be a nice ride.
