Fantasy Land - 400 bhp!

[novarally]

Clearly Swindon Racing Engines had no idea what they were doing to only find 300bhp..............

[Royston]

It really looks like a fully prepped race enginelol

sammyjobo, what a name it really inspires confidencelol

[Connor]

I know who's this is, it is definitely a typo

[Bubba]

the extra 100bhp comes from the Mk1'ness ;)

[bmw156]

do you think it would be closer to 200bhp?

what a joker.

i was thinking the MS qould add the extra 200 lol

[General Baxter]

the lad is on here

[Connor]

He isnt on here, i tried selling his engine on his behalf and it was prov sold.
Its meant to say 200, not 400

[General Baxter]

aha its your engine then

your a joker lol

ill make an offer of £500 :)

[Bubba]

maybe he should edit the listing then "/

[General Baxter]

its because its a redtop bro!

does the £1200 include the car?

[Connor]

Its not my engine lol,
its just someone i know.
I have messaged to let him know

[bmw156]

1200 is abit steep IMO.

[General Baxter]

tell him ill buy it in kit form

£200 for the engine and box,
£200 for the TB's
and £100 for the ecu lol

[Connor]

lol no

[Stuart]

it wont be that near 200bhp unless its got some good cams and some headwork imho... 180 if its a really nice day.


Great Leighs isnt far from where I work, perhaps I should go have a giggle at it

[John]

pmsl at the oversized hubs and shafts lol

[General Baxter]

performance shafts,adds 50bhp a side

[Novasport]

Engine porn, proper reverse head XE...

Bit steep tho :S

[wwmnw]

Well I certainly wont be buying another engine off Swindon if they can only produce 300 BHP, I think I'll ask the seller on ebay to make me a couple of them engines and put one in the front and one in the back, 800BHP N/A Nova ftw lol

[Will F]

I would put my mortgage on the '1 offer' being from Colin too

Finally....lol

[Calamity Josh]

Connors m8's aint that expensive, my dad just sold a Rebuilt C20XE with Jenveys, emerald M3D, Verniers For £2,250 He had offers of 1k for the bodies alone so how's that expensive, fair enough bout the bhp but everyone makes mistakes, Right...??:confused: :confused:

[Connor]

heres the spec i found dont know if its still like this:
1200 is not overpriced (IMO!!) and im not just saying that because its a mate
jenvey direct to head throttle bodies,
megasquirt ecu,
qed re-profiled cams,
ashley 421 manifold,

[phazer]

Given second hand prices that isn't bad for a Janvey set-up, though would be better with a 'proper' ECU (yeah I know, just talking from a re-sale point of view).

You're getting a fair bit effectively thrown in for free at that price assuming the desirable parts are in good condition.

about 14k cheaper than swindon charged iirc...

[Paul]

Trouble is para tbs are ****.

[phazer]

Really? Why?

[Stuart]

they arent as good as tapers, but they arent **** lol

[philip]

**** all wrong with direct to head bodies, my mates xe had them with usual rods, pistons, headwork, solid lifters etc made 228@wheels in his mk2 scort and won the awncc and the rallyX 3 or 4 years back beating the 'mega money' engined cars. i dont think you gain that much for the extra cost with going itbs imho

[novarally]

I would put my mortgage on the '1 offer' being from Colin too

Will, please forward your cheque to my usual address. Thank-you.

ps - I do hope it's a decent sized mortgage that's outstanding....

Good point, I hadn't considered that possibility.

[Will F]

Good point, I hadn't considered that possibility.

Both wrong - I paid cash for my house, so its a moot point.;)

[Stuart]

so no mortgage... tripple bluff lol

[db_1.2]

Megasquirts not really worth a great deal anyway, although being very functional.

I dont think its overpriced, id certainly buy it if i was still a vauxhall chav :D

[Andy]

I know who's this is, it is definitely a typo
:wtf: fat fingers or what?!!

[Spudly]

:wtf: fat fingers or what?!!



Must be bloody fat, look at the typo on the price aswell:eek:
