Doesn't matter, you're 650 miles away. Without information about the mods it's not worth the travel...

Question 300+bhp ???

[QUOTE=Mark480;430235]What has been done to make this 300 + BHP?


Maybe if you look at the 0/60 5.6 seconds and 0/100 12.4 seconds this might give you an indication as to the power behind the car, which may give an idea of what has been done to make this volvo 300+bhp.

How many ways are there to give a car 300+bhp ?

It is reasonable for members to ask what has been done to the car to make 300bhp, as the seller it would be assumed that you would know what modifications have been done to the car and what gains those modifications would make. Not many people would buy a car that has been modified and the spec or bhp cannot be verified, potential buyers will want to know what exactly has been done to the car to produce the claimed 300bhp.

What make of modified exhaust has been fitted?
Does it have a 3inch down pipe and sport cat?
What springs have been fitted to the car to get the claimed 30mm lowered?
Are the shocks adjustable? What type of Koni shocks?
Dump valve, whats the difference between boy racer and non boy racer? What make and model of dump valve is fitted.
What make and size of racing tyres are fitted also how much tread is left?
Have the brakes been modified to cope with the added performance?
Is the turbo standard, hybrid or other? If it has a non standard turbo has it been custom remapped?
Are the fuel injectors standard?
Do you have a print out of a rolling road test to back up 300bhp claim?

When was the vpc done?
When was the cam belt and tensioner last done?
