Rob - That sound like crap to me! My mates is pushing out around 210bhp and that has Racing Cams, Throttle bodies, Orbisound Exhaust, ECU upgrade and possibly a different manifold...so I doubt that other one will have 200bhp! More of a guess would be 165-170bhp
Mike - Oh so it cant have been...
No his everyday car is a white transit! He also has a 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo LE but he says this isnt much slower and handles much better!
Think he paid £18000 for it but he doesnt need to do any work to get it to go quicker.
And it is sweet! Its a R-reg with 6000 miles on the clock and has been tweaked by Nick Hill. It is currently running 210bhp and unofficial timing says 0-62 in 5.5 secs and onto 100 in around 14 secs. Not to mention the fact it has an Orbisound racing zorst...sounds sweet! Havent been out in it...
Steve V6 (who has a MK1 V6) has got an order for a new V6 but he has been on the waiting list and I think was number 14 on it. He has a Silver one coming and has been told around September time for it.

Ive just bought a chip for my 330d from them (or the sole UK supplier in Ireland). Took me 5 minutes to fit it and I now have 220bhp and 325lbft!
Anymore info PM me
1) Not as far as I know but get in touch with Autoleads as they may have one planned
2) You will need to buy a Pioneer one as the OEM unit in the 172 is made by Alpine but I dont think the connector will even plug into Alpine head units!
3) They are 13cms speakers so you will have no trouble...
I went for the 330d becuase I do a lot of business miles and I wanted to get my huge insurance down! 330i is quick but not a lot quicker, in fact the in gear times of the 330d are better than a 330i!
I test drove the 330d and was so impressed by it that I just bought it. Plus chipping a diesel...
I have had mine chipped too so its got even more poke! Up from 184bhp and 285lbft to 220bhp and 325lbft.
Getting a new zorst fitted soon which will make the turbo spool up quicker and about another 5% on those figures.
I raced a Cooper S last night and beat him...I couldnt believe it :D
Had a play with a Saxo VTR the other night and he was nowhere to be seen after about 40mph. When I hit !20 he was a dot in the distance, so I slowed to 70mph and it took him over a mile to catch up and then I left him again...
