geoffvalenti Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I hope I don't offend anyone on here if its your car but; 400 bhp with just an air filter and aftermarket exhaust, and 0-60 in 4.2 seconds takes a bit of believing Apart from that, it looks a nice car, nice price ATM as well http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18290&item=4528175844&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Did say in 0-60 in about 4.2 seconds. Mine can do 0-60 in about 3 seconds and I have a SZ with Induction kit and go faster stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 400 bhp with just an air filter and aftermarket exhaust, and 0-60 in 4.2 seconds takes a bit of believing Hi Geoff. If the 'Exhaust' includes decatting I would think 400bhp is very possible. I mean, 400bhp minus 25% Auto trans losses is only 300bhp at the wheels. Lots of decatted Supras seem to manage that figure OK (with a FCD of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 I must admit I hadn't taken decatting into consideration, so maybe it's not so optpmistic after all. I've still got to fiit my decat pipe, soon as I have I'll publish the results obtained on the "Butt" dyno You going to Boxhill tomorrow, Jake?

Markie Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Does anyone really buy cars off e-bay? I cant bring myself to trust the site myself.. Always people trying to rip you off on there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safe enough if you can see the car before paying the money. Well, it's no more risky than any other private sale. Did you see the car that Alex bought on eBay? It was a bargain.
