mpg round town i get 25 and on a run 33
thing to watch out for are
1. The inlet manifold dose it rattle on tick ova and gets louder as you increase speed as this can cost anything from ?500 for a new to ?150 second hand plus fitting. The other big one is,

2. has it had the cam belts and water pump change as these are done at 90k or six year what ever come round 1st and cost anywhere from ?450 to ?900

3. serive history what it like as will give you an idea how the car has been looked after

4. vis motor on the inlet can fail which will cause loss of power to the engine way to tell dose the car feel flat as it hit 3000 rpm or dose it has a kick of power

5. clucth slave cylinder can fail but a modified kit can be got which is easy to fit and cost around ?150
apart from that they are very good

best way to get the most power out of it is decat pipe full s/s exhaust system air filter and a remap by matt reidy give you around 200bhp
after that your talking big money i.e lsd in gear box lightend flywheel polished ported heads with cams
and will seen you around 220bhp

ps make sure to fit an oil catch tank to it seem to help the life of the inlet manifold
all the best dave
