Yes, I'm running 300 and have done over 60,000km in past two years will minimal fuss really. Now that i've said that, I am wholly expecting to need a new clutch, gearbox and engine in the near future. :roll: :roll: :lol:

Yes.
Ran circa 300bhp for a year and not a word from the gearbox.
During the year of daily driving - approx 300miles per week, I went through:
- 1 wheel bearing
- 1 turbo manifold gasket
and that's it!
And I didn't buy one of these cars to drive like miss daisy either... They can take it.
Admittedly I did crack a piston then. but caused by poor boring of cylinder before by some cowboy... and possibly the shit fuel over here also.
They have been proven to take it. Some have weak gearboxes but probably due to being dogged whole life etc etc... Same as any car. Only a shìt load quicker...
