Have you got this in the Cars for Sale section Chris?
Best of luck.

Edit - just looked at the pics - what a great looking car! 380bhp for £11k seems like a bargain to me ...

The car was horrible to drive so it's since been re-mapped to produce the 380 bhp and 340 lbs ft and car is now very smooth even from cold start.
Just wanted to clarify this as I don't want people to think that they're getting a 400+ bhp car. Probably with a decent front mount and another re-map over 400 bhp would be achievable but at the moment it's only running 380/340

Unfortunately, it was never running anywhere near that sort of power, the figures you quote are what I was told it was running when I bought it (don't know where the seller got that figure from!), guess I should have done a bit more research!! A reliable roling road showed that it was only running 370 ish bhp and only 300 lbs ft torque when I bought it !!!!!

Don't know how they work their figures out but the figure you quoted was over 30 bhp and 80 lbs ft torque out from what the car was actually running !!!
