Yes early ones were 210 then 225bhp.

That engine bay is a mess as well.

Agreed the power figure is unrealistic and the engine bay is a mess. The car has potential, just not at £2k+

I'm waiting for kells to come in saying his is better  :grin: :kiss:


This is the one my carbon mapped beast smoked

Side by side battle as I mentioned in my dub ride thread

The car is pretty rough and the conversion is scruffy.. The owner wanted 4.5k for it and it was him that did the conversion not dubsport lol

He was already selling it as he has a "400 BHP" 20vt mk 2 he just got. I have seen it an that looks tatty too
He also has 2 x S3's one of which is a MTM turbo version 330bhp and he is selling that also (5k) again pretty tatty
He breaks a lot of S3's. Has a sh!t load of parts but wants silly money and everything looks scruffy lol

As eny fule kno BHP figures are entirely based on how clean a car is.

While I'm not saying this particular example has 321bhp, assessing a car's power output on whether it is clean and pretty is a particularly facile view.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

TRUE DAT! :D That's why most people would first compare my car, in terms of bhp, to that of a lawnmower.

I don't think its that bad lol. Just cause he hasn't painted/cleaned any parts doesn't mean it don't work properly. I dont agree with the power output though; reading the ad, I'd wouldn't say it was over 300bhp.

Any fool knows I never said the cleanliness played a part in its BHP figure but I think it plays a part in how much money someone should command for a car

This car looks like rs been thrown together.. Iv had a very good look around it unlike anyone on here. Infact I'll be seeing the owner on the weekend do I can get more pics if you want LOL

What I do know tho is my car which has less than 300 BHP is a lot quicker than this particular example

It's all about the torque curve and mine is running a superb map

His car has a emerald ECU with he hybrid.. It was not as nice a drive as what mine is either ( yes I drove it)

Testiment to nick and Craig at carbon for the fantastic work they did on mine

Forgot to mention

He has print out confirming the BHP, granted I don't know how accurate the rolling road was that it was tested on..

I dont think it's 320 BHP personally
