That spec would seriously benefit from a upgraded cooler to see full potential

You need an intercooler mate. Mine was at 207bhp on the stock intercooler but my priority is to now sort this before the weather improves and I end up in deep poo.

If your running beige injectors you really need an uprated fuel pump and stage 2 '195' chip.
Certainly you will need an uprated cooler.
You should then see what the car is capable of

If you are running beige you will have a stage 2 chip as the chips are different and stage one will run a bag of sh!t with beige, i beleive you will already be running 195chip just because of your power figures

From a buyers point of view take everything with a pinch of salt, not all but most people will tell you anything to sell a car, and you just really never know. A rr is really the only way....

It sounds reasonable though

Sounds familier. I viewed a well known mint white FRST with 200bhp. Was gutted when I drove to Wales and was greated by a complete nail running a stock intercooler and 11psi

Then the cheeky fook had the gall to call me a messer. I had the Ł3500 asking price in cash in my glovebox and my posts on the subject mysteriously got deleted.

If anybody is unfortunate enough to come across H65 AAL run away very very quickly

Sad but true

daz_frst: personally, if the seller is quoting you that figure and its genuine he will be able to prove it, if he can't then i think its more than likely to be a bit fictional.

The fact hes blagging you on about the pump is because they are in tank and theres no way u can tell if its uprated or not, well not while its in his possession anyway.

Chopping/changing stories and tripping over his own lies is a sure sign your going to get a good skanking.

Leave it a while then wave a wad of cash under his nose based on what you are prepared to pay.......
