How much power would you say this is running?

[MattM]

350 my bottom!
probably not even close to 300

is that Shrek's old car?

[MattM]

No idea, but 350 sounded a bit much for a Rica 304 and an exhaust.

[M-R-P]

Not Shreks car. No mention of a new turbo and it's an auto...

350bhp from a (correct me if I'm wrong) 15g? BZZZZT nope.

[Wobbly Dave]

No idea, but 350 sounded a bit much for a Rica 304 and an exhaust. 280 if he's lucky but the poster is 18 - oh the optimism of youth!

[Kingsford G]

280-285 tops.

[MattM]

Still pretty good power. Wonder how he's managed to insure that at 18. I was still playing over a £1k for a 1ltr corsa at 18.

[Wobbly Dave]

Perhaps some kind family member has - who knows. Seems a shame to shatter his illusions. Bragging rights is what counts? LOL.

its erm got free fifty mate, init

[T5frankie]

[V70 Graham]

red silicon turbo and coolant hoses

T5R Interior

[ajc106]

did not think the autos can handle 300 bhp let alone 350 ?????????

[merc85]

Yes it is shreks car, and id say around 265bhp.

[T5frankie]

ive seen mapped 850 t5's pushing only 245 bhp before now

Depends on turbo,actuator and engine etc. condition.

[T5RPete]

Jeez, if thats 350 then mine with it's 16t & whites should be about 400bhp? hahaha Put a 19t in there and you'll probably tip the scales at 1000bhp...

thanks for that kingsford lol

[theflyingbrick]

hes only 18 still a bit green behind the gills but i reckon if hes got the balls to drive a volvo at his age,whatever the bhp is i say hats off to him.....surely you can all remember the day when you didnt know naff all about motors and would listen to claims of high bhp and be impressed!! cut him a bit of slack a ;)

[T5RPete]

That's true, at 18 I was driving a 1.4 Corsa with about 80bhp lowered on white steels...

I certainly didn't think you'd told him that.

[shrekblackR]
