conrod 1 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Nice cam cover, but 300hp?!!!!! I think the part in the description "I take it out occasionally" (and play with it) is probably fitting.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rxsumo 33 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Surely this guys has it wrong....its a Genuine Racing Dynamics car, 'cos that what the tappet cover says. Or perhaps he thinks RD is the tuning division of Schnitzer :banghead: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30stz 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) no idea, but it is strongly suggested you steer clear of it. Mate is willing to bet its not close to 200hp let alone 300. he owns i think 4 E30's at the present time (thats where they've all gone. Hes owned many in his previous years and would know them inside out. Edited April 10, 2006 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
