If it was a turbo diesel 1.9 then i'd well beleive it (that would be one really quick car with so little weight and all that torque) but a 1 litre, unless it a bike engine or Daihatsu charade turbo, would have a real problem making 150 without a turbo and nitrous. Wouldnt last long either

They will yes. It's terrible to think people know so little about their cars, and dont bother to check out details the seller tells them.
I remember when a girl i went to school with got a car years ago and drove the car for 3 weeks with the oil warning light on, then the engine siezed because of no oil. She said "oh, i thought that light was meant to be on all the time". People should find out all the lights and warnings for their car, and at least be able to fill oil, water, change wheels and fill fuel, as well as changing a battery and using the dipstick. It's amazing how many people i know who'd struggle with that

Atomic Pineapple

knifey_spoonie

I say it was put up as a joke.Those things are usualy done to see who will spot it first(in the company).

colm_mcm

just copped that you work there knife fighter!

SouperComputer

even if it was true the torque would be pathetic.

knifey_spoonie

Yeah did it to see if we would get any response to it.Try to see how many people use the net for researching used cars. We got no calls but its was picked up quick here.:D

Dont worry we wouldent have sold as 150BHP

colm_mcm

sounds a bit dubious to me!

were ye seriously retailing that yoke, or does it belong to one of your mechanics?

I see it's still un-sold!
