Krismuss Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Posted on behalf of a colleague (not on BC)... Very sorted 1400k 135BHP with nice bits on it (aero, dry sump, LSD, etc.). here Hardly used in the last two years (Ben & his friend had shared ownership of it), most of last year was in the garage stored! Maintained by Andy Belcher. Having chased Ben & Al in this car (on occasion) I can testify that it's pretty rapid (either that or it deals with the bumpy B roads far better than my old Blackbird or perish the thought - I'm not as brave as a couple of 20somethings!).

Gridgway Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I hope it's not rude to ask, but how does the 1.4 produce 135 bhp? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Russell Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 It shouldn't make 135bhp unless it is very heavily modified. I thought these had 115 tops. Must add though, the 1.4 is underrated... I love 'em. Edited by - James_Russell on 26 May 2012 13:44:05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 1400 Supersport kit. Was cams and (?) throttle body and raised rev limit. The first 7 I drove was a factory dev't car with this engine kit. It had a 5 speed box. For balls out blatting mode, it was effectively a 3 speed 'cos it would do 90mph in 3rd. IIRC it also had 16" wheels and pre anti-dive suspension. It had a mind of its own on uneven cambers. No matter - the bug bit me hard and (eventually) I bought my 7 This car for sale on Superlight suspension and smaller wheels should be one sweet handling car. I often fancy wringing out a 1400 could be the best 7ing.... Lovely car for someone, including my friend who will be shown this ad. Good luck Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezky Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 1.4 K-series engine made 130ish bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Standard 1400 was 105. Supersport was about 120, hence the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
