HI TO ALL YOU BIDDERS AND WATCHERS,
BEEN ASKED A QUESTION ON POWER OUTPUT,RAW ENGINEERING ARE STILL GOING STRONG AND CAN SUPPLY EVERY SINGLE PART FOR THIS CAR NEW,A NEW CAR WOULD COST CIRCA £15k,PLUS THE TIME TO BUILD,LOTS OF SWEARING,CUT FINGERS,POSSIBLE DIVORCE,ETC.
BACK WHEN THIS ENGINE WAS FIRST USED BY RAW ENGINEERING,YOU COULD HAVE A 160 BHP,WHICH HAD STANDARD CAM,MORE BASIC/CHEAPER EXHAUST MANIFOLD,AND THIS CONVERSION,WHICH HAD THE IMPROVEMENTS,AND QUOTED 175BHP,THEY ALSO DID A SUPERCHARGED VERSION,WHICH I THINK WAS EITHER 220 OR 240 BHP,THAT MUST OF BEEN SCARY QUICK,THIS CAR PUTS THE WIND UP WHEN YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR,I DO HAVE SOME OLD KIT CAR MAGS WITH THESE QUOTED FIGURES,AND I HAVE BEEN TO RAW ENGINEERING AS THEY ARE LOCAL,GOT LATEST PRICE LIST WITH EVERYTHING AVAILABLE FOR THE STRIKER,AND THEY CONFIRM DIFFERENT POWER OUTPUTS FOR THE CONVERSIONS,HOPE THIS HELPS.
GOOD LUCK ALL I GUARANTEE THIS STRIKER WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE.
