for this

any views on this?

 

Stick with your UK300

Shaun

 

I just skimmed through the add but I take it its on standard internals?

400bhp with the things listed (add pink injectors and fmic) not a bit optimistic?

I know nothing about the car at all but I think I would prefer your uk300 tbh and I prefer classics.

Mick

 

arent the v4 internals forged as standard mate?

 

no is the quick answer

 

from what i can tell from the ad, he`s talking ****.

power fc does have 4 boost settings but not switchable maps (which he implies)

doesnt mention what turbo it is to get 400 hp. and if he planned to he would be running alot of pressure through standard engine

i doubt very much its got a dog box, it may have an ra box but that isnt a dog box.

not enough real details there to convince me tbh. i`m running close to 400 hp if not 400hp and i could tell you exactly what i`m running and no i dont want to swap lol

 

Keep the Bugeye!

 

Stedee did the typing for me, my last post wa a bit late at night for me (post 2)........just not enough info on what has been done.

keep the 300 mate, its clean with a good spec so there

 

I agree with all that's been said.

A lot of that ad is 'it will do.....if you do....'.

I lost count of how many bhp figures were quoted.

IMO the seller's pitched it at a buyer with a boy racer mentality.

"Pops and bangs..... due to mapping".
Environmental Health might go knocking on JGM's door then ????

And for me the killer is that he's expanding his business therefore wants to release the capital in the car - yet he's prepared to accept swaps and p/x.

I'm not impressed at all, sorry.

You know your car but you don't know that one. I think therein lies your answer.

 

^^^ all of this, I noticed the crack about needing to expand buisness but he's wanting another thirsty motor in px

Mick

 

Apparently its a vf34 turbo..but he hasnt got back to me on the gearbox..I have spoken to jgm about the remap but simon cant recall the car but the seller has a receipt for the remap

 

Makes it good for the mid-high 300's from some articles I've seen - provided all the compatible bits are in place first, of course.

 

VF34 is the bearing version of the VF35.........great for spool but nowhere near 400 BHP.

Shaun

 

yeah midlife...i ve got one on my uk 300

 

do u think his motor is worth 4k ?

 

the plates and ecutek (psi3) monitor would be coming off mine

 

Dont understand people who do that, unless they just want to get rid of there car because its f6cked, But you see excuses like that all the time, Missus is pregnant, need a deposit for a house, expanding business, and then at the bottom of advert they are willing to swap for something thats just as expensive as the car there trying to get rid of!!!

Stay clear mate, seems like another bull****ter who thinks he can make up bhp claims and impress idiots who haven't got a clue like most on e-bay, which is probably the reason how he got the car in the first place!!!!

 

But if his isn't Ecutek the PSI would be surplus to requirements.

However, I gather the company is no more, so you'd have a rarity, possibly worth quite a few bob?

I'm not sure tbh.

 

NO!

 

Stay with the 300

 

Stay with the 300!

 

It seems my mind has been made up....
Im stopping with my car

 

glad to hear it matey,i remember looking at your car and thinking how clean it was plus didnt you say it had reciepts from engine tuner for the engine? doesnt get much better than that really

remember mate if something seems to good to be true then it generally is and the grass isnt always greener on the other side

 

I think you made the right decision. Andy

 

And so say all of us !

 

thank **** 4 that

 

Good man , good choice

 

Well got rid if the Scooby for ab offer I couldnt refuse
Im now a proud owner of an 06 saab 9-3 2.8 v6 turbo...
