0-60 in 6 secs?! I can't see it personally but I would love to believe it cause I'll be needing a new car in the next few days and I want something fairly quick but insurable and affordable to buy lol.

If he could list the mods I'd be able to get excited lol

A number of people have asked what engine modds have been done so i am going to tell everyone what ive told them. I dont actually know what engine modds have been done as they where done prior to me owning the car and i only did the styling of the vehicle. Might be chipped or ECU altered but i really couldnt tell you. Car does have different jelly leads that adds more bhp. Garage told me engine sitting position and gear box had been altered but this was all put back to normal when car was resprayed. Did have a racing clutch but this was replaced with a standard clutch due to problems getting into reverse. I advise all interested parties to come view the car and clock 0-60 yourself and how unbelieveably quick the car is. My friends didnt believe me until they either drove the car or sat next to me with a stop watch and cloced it themselves

didnt see this

Q: Alright mate, nice looking car. Just wonderin if you could clear up a slight question I have about the car: how do you manage to get a 6 second 0-60, was it by adding the metal gear nob and custom grill?? Look forward to your reply, Cheers, Matt 11-Jul-05
A: right as i told a few people i dont know what modds have been done to the engine as they were done by the guy who owned the car before me i just did the styling. Garage did tell me however that the engine sitting position and gear box had been altered theses where put right when car was resprayed. Did have a racing clutch but removed due to problems getting into reverse. Car does have different spark plug leads that add more bhp but best bet would be to come view the car and clock 0 - 60 yourself. Alot of my friends didnt believe me until they either drove the car themselves or sat next to me with a stop watch. Unbelievable quick

LOL yeah I just wish it wasn't a load of old tosh as the car actually doesn't look too bad for a 5 door. I know better than to believe stuff that people say on eBay tho.....

only guessing but 6 seconds to 60 must be in the region of 200 to 250 bhp which I reckon is pretty damn good for a 1.8.
Good job it's not a 2 litre or it might be a right handful!!
