brillomaster Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 ahh, always good when sellers wildly overestimate the power of the cars they're selling and £11,500 is a bit steep, i'd give him maybe £7.5k tops for that! Quote
Southernspeed Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah for 400hp the HKS induction system is missing something quite critical just behind the filter! Quote
dave1221 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 i have emailed him asking how he's made 400bhp, i'll let you know the reply! Quote

daveparkin Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 New clutch/flywheel before 29k....ouch! Yes, and the seats look a bit saggy for the mileage..... Quote
spursmaddave Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Nismo twin exhaust cost £2,300..... should have Quote
spursmaddave Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 New clutch/flywheel before 29k....ouch! That is not surprising pushing 400bhp Quote
KyleR Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 What are you guys on about? Clearly the Nismo gear knob, oil and rad caps, modified OEM aerial and snazzy rear strut brace sticker plaque thing add ATLEAST 150bhp. He's being quite modest witht he HP claims I recon Quote
sparky370z Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 pre facelift car, but imported in 2008. he does say later in the ad its a '03 car. think he has had a bit of a shocker. plus how many Km's had id done before the trip here? probably loads. may have done 28K miles in this country over 4 years. best price £6.5k. shocker!!!

rothers2901 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 i have emailed him asking how he's made 400bhp, i'll let you know the reply! +1 will compare the responce Quote
4RE Leather Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 It's not a 2008 either. It's Pre facelift Well spotted that man:) Quote
Sarnie Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 And its actually on a 52 plate...................so it's possibly one of the oldest zeds in the world.........for MY07 money Quote
4RE Leather Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 It might have a full race lump in it. Either that or a bloody great big elastic band underneath! Quote
KyleR Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Nismo exhaust for £2300? Don't they cost about £1500 max? Quote
daveparkin Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 I like the fact his car has a name - he calls it Manuel in the advert... ...perhaps he knows nothing? Quote

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I hope this poor guy didn't fall for all this bull we when he bought it Quote
spursmaddave Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Que With 400hp, she go crazy... Si mister Fawlty.... eeeez mucho better than your Austin 1300...... Quote
coldel Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Technically, if you add up all the gains that the likes of HKS and Nismo sticker on their products he would be running not far off 400bhp Quote
daveparkin Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 Technically, if you add up all the gains that the likes of HKS and Nismo sticker on their products he would be running not far off 400bhp Does that mean that if you fit 2 HKS air filters, you'd be at 425hp? Quote
