98 bhp standard I think.

Manifold, Exhaust and filter added over 30bhp? That figure must be at the fly.

That's what I thought. I've been offered a manifold and decat for a good price. I'd be interested in a sound clip of this car if possible

The figure will be at the fly, Hi-Tec's rollers are notorious for over reading so its better to take there ATW figures as ATF!

Car loos really nice now, seen it about a couple of times

Very nice, silver and black looks good

Noticed it's an old thread, can you still get away with little number plates like that these days?
