"Fully chromed on all internal moving parts."

wow that must look good.

245bhp at the wheels........ thats mighty good seeing as its only been bored out, air filter and some kind of superchip. :o

[peester]

a good example to prove to valver lads the capabilities of the 8v. :roll:
as u say sutton no mention of turbo or induction of any kind to believe this 2 million bhp quote.

[Dpnova]

The whole thing could be a lie, i may be wrong but there were no pictures of the engine

[dan_mk1]

0-60 in 4.1 seconds?? is that even possible for fwd??

[NovaNeil]

[Phil GTE]

It must be true, otherwise he would have cooling vents for the rear brakes

[RJM25R]

it's gotta be a pisstake...

why's it got a german plate?

I'm not aware of any 2.2 overbore for the 8v engine. Unless he's fitted the frontera one!!LOL

245bhp???

[lightweight racer]

245bhp, at the wheels?
thats about 260-270 bhp at the flywhel :roll: . who this guy trying to kid??

Not sure about the plate either.
Tell you wot, u'm in ashford, i'll pop down to the engine services place and ask the guy who did the engine the exact spec and i'll put all ur (understandable) sceptical minds to rest...
