If you want that sort of power just buy an Evo they are built to take it.
I'm guessing this car was suffering from rot around the front chassis legs as ive never heard of that with 160bhp... Like Karlos says, people are well into 280-300+bhp and they arent cracking! Altho Stu saying 330bhp cracking his is perhaps an eye opener, but then again thats only 2 examples out of 100s and im not going anywhere near 300bhp so i won't worry too much
