800 bhp, no chance, seen it in action a few times.
the first time i seen it at crail the thing was nic-named the Waverly, it was burning more oil than fuel.
seen it at knockhill last month, was running better but cars with proven 400+bhp engines were pulling a lot better out of the corners.
I've spoke to the owner a few times, what a Muppet, can talk the talk but you get the impression he is talking out his arse.
ace performance? its more like ace ventura

And as for his mega horsepower skyline, he claims 1000hp.... well my mates 500hp evo passed it by the pit wall at Knockhill on sunday and dereks skyline was a good few car lengths in front of him as they exited the hairpin.... 400 hp is probably much closer to the real figure.

cant see it being 800bhp+ just by looking at the fuel system, it has a standard regulator, i would of thought that would have to be changed to hit that sort of power.
but i may be wrong Anybody?

He told me it revved to 10500rpm.... then said and i quote "but someones stolen the apexi power fc commander when it left japan, so it now only revs to 8400rpm and my T88 turbo doesnt spool properly to 7000rpm so i'm not getting the benefit of the big turbo" It ran with a miss half the day on sunday and never looked remotely quick.

that derek needs a smack in the face....
so do the people that wrote the article....they should be able to tell the fooking difference between 800hp engine and stage 3
standard fuel reg
this is why you get all this knob ends in their corsas going on about how a guy from quick fit looked at it in a special way when he changed the tyres and now it a billion hp...
they will have read somewhere in a mag that this corsa with a billion hp has a filter exhaust and some rust, and as their car has the same, then it must be a billion hp aswel.....
people believe what they read...
it shopuld not be fooking printed....
which mag was it?

G.B torbo solutions, i completely agree with you, i cant stand all the nob heads in the small corsas, novas, clios and peugeots. if theyre not millions of HP why say it?
my cars got a little baby engine in it, going at 118.6 bhp at wheels but atleast i can tell the fooking truth!
RETARDS is all i can say!
but if you click this link, this a a really powerful toyota supra, running at 1600BHP (no lies) on this particualr run, and its fully road legal. (i been researching)!! click below to find out.
