Default 650bhp Type R

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...508069749&rd=1

And it's still using the standard TMIC

And it has a 'Dump valve guage'

It's amazing how much power you can get through standard induction hose, standard little TMIC etc these days . . . You do have to admire the neat guage pack too, you'd never tell they weren't original

Come to think of it, since the last rollling road day I fitted a Samco hose, so I think my car may have gone from 280 to 800bhp. But it's not been tested.

We should keep an eye on the bidding, when a buyer puts a bid in we should email him and let him know this guy is full of ****

what u reckon ?

With that engine as it looks,it would need Noz to get anywhere near that after it blows up within minutes

The scary thing is there are probably lots of muppets out ther who will just lap that lot up and believe every word because they don't know any better.

Where can I get some gauges fitted like that I love the plastic tubing effect, they probably lead to the nuclear reactor in the glove box? and my WR1 pumps out 651bhp now (not tested) but believe me it's TRUE!



Honest......



OK 649 bummer!... his is more powerful......****,****,****

I want a dump valve gauge... does anyone know what the not-tested bhp figures are guessed at for such a mod and will it make my car faster than an Enzo 8 MR400? Sorry, but I havent a clue...

I live very local to this garage ( I recognise it from the pictures) and had noticed he had begun to do 'performance imports', but will not be going to see this car, if I want to waste my time I go see Leeds try to win a game of football.

I shall not expand on why so as not to offend the mods and get thread deleted,

I bought the wife's POLO of this guy , advertised as a 39000 miles R plate example , had it checked over last Sunday by a mate in the trade , and he couldn't find a thing wrong with it , he would put money on the mileage being genuine.

I think the guy who owns the garage is totally honest , just a bit ignorant of the facts

Ignorance is still not an excuse for a load of cobblers, and hes in the car game as well.

if I were interested in the car (which I am not ) I would sort " the wheat from the chaff " , ignore the advert , and see the car for what it really is
might be a good un

Wow what a car!

0 previous owners and 39,000 miles. Now that's magic.

Would make an ideal car for David Blaine

Well thats about as far from honest as you can get...

Amusing things:
world rally championship car in japan in 1997...
dump valve gauge
4 boost gauges
  1. approx 650 bhp (but not been tested) :-)
Now that is seriously funny!

Talk about miss described...

Unless the guy who's selling it really believes what he's been told...
Now that would be even funnier...
