i dont have a budget as such, as i'll pay the right money for the right car, plus i find if u put a price down people just offer u everything at that price,

as for the 400+, ive had a few scooby's not an put a shed load of cash into each one, i would like one over 400 bhp,

so dont wanna get one at say 360 bhp an have to put a load of time money into to get it to 400,

where i can just buy one at that all ready.

We understand, you want 400 horses & want someone else to have spent £20k to get there

most are yes, i sold my last classic as pats as i spent so much on it,

but ive put up this post in case theres someone out there that wants theres to go to a good home rather then breaking it, (coz it broke my hart doing it to mine)

i wanna get one around 400 an like to have a bit of fun trying to get it to near 500 bhp.
thought it was a good place to start, didnt realise it would be such a problem to people.

Did you miss the Sense of humour failure on your part. Good luck with the search.

Dont forget its a CAT D, so make sure you check its been repaired properly before checking if its pushing 400bhp!!!!

Nothing wrong with wanting one thats already done, Spent close to £12k on mods to my blobeye scoob back in 2005-2006 and no way would I do it again. Bought a 400bhp Evo 6 RS after that which had £20k spent on mods and preferred it because the fact I didn't have to spend no money on mods at all!!!!

Good luck with your search!!!

does a vf22 not have the larger p20 housing on it it actaully flows more air than the other vf turbos are the not good for close to 400bhp think 420 maybe pushing it a we bit im sure someone will correct me if im wrong

just need to bide your time imo mate

they will pop up occassionally

prob later in year there be a few more after owners have a summer in them.

if really want one asap a fresh build probably best bet

ive not long had a 2.5 forged classic with sc46 running 420/430 and was immense, if some had offerem me monay idve sold it,

but as it happens i just swapped a load of bits onto my api buit 2.1

think its just your donald duck i think mate

good luck and let us know what you end up with

as nice as that one above looks

it just wouldnt be the one for me mate

its silly things like the hks muchroom filter and sh*te interior that put me off.

yes being picky, but thats just my opinion
