Mine has 175 rwhp / 130 rwkw

Due to being track car never been hooned on streets I did try a big launch
in a Race at SMP and I just went sideways.

I think it could manage a sub 5 second 0-100

Getting the tune checked on a Hub Dyno will ask if that test can be done.
I only found this out from Fifth Gear tv show but legally manufacturer
0 - 100 times need to be performed on a dyno they never have to do
it on tarmac which is a bit naff.

Wow! you must have done a lot of work to get that number. What are your mods im interested as I eventually would like to do something similar.

Naturaly Aspirated at that power level will not come cheap, my guess over 10k (just for the engine). It is not just the engine that needs to be done there are brakes etc to handle the additional power so you ned the money for these sort of upgrades as well.

Charlie91 has a 1.6ltr turbo eninge for sale on here so if you want a package have a look at his thread and make an offer.
