    Does anyone know which car im talking about? It was for sale from a pretty rough looking estate in london I think. Had a bonnet scoop/ vent and claimed to be around 500bhp yet had no spec or under bonnet pics

    I vaguely remember it, pretty sure you're thinking SWA - Stuart Williams Autos.

    POS is probably more apt...

    The reason I started this thread, a mate of mine who ended up with t5 tez's old red saloon (after dean had raped it lol ) has just bought a r33 gtr with 400bhp and the guy he bought it off reckoned he knew of an 850 with 480bhp in london area for sale so my mate is trying to get it off him. The only two i know near that power is rt's and the one that was for sale on gumtree about a year back so im guessing its that one.

    My mate spoke with the guy selling it and the engine was built by sw autos about 7 years ago. Looks like he might buy it. With 480bhp would he have the 2nd most powerful volvo in the uk?
    I still cant find the damn thread. Grrrr
