Been looking at this for a while, claims to be running 370bhp on a GT28RS 0.64a/r .. has the DynoDynamics printout to prove, but that really does sound high fr a 0.64 rs on a stock engine?

Also, he claims the car has a history here on the FCCUK. Any one know the car?

Any information of it?

Looks great, spec is good, power almost too good to be true for the spec, apart from the slipping clutch. Looks very fast in the video, but....

It's being driven in a terrible fashion!

Who's this Diddy? The guy selling it claims to have owned it for a few months and is called Chris.

Very similar though.

But then he got through them at a rate of knots.

The video of it is taken by DJRMedia, who a search on here shows up as Didcoop...

He had the car not too long ago
So wondering why it's changing hands again
Won't hurt to check it out I guess.

Is the car known on here, or just the bloke?

Do you think that power is realistic for the spec? It's obviously a fast car, mine's 300bhp and that makes mine look slow.

Different number plate. The one on Gumtree has an S plate.

The one on the video was Didccops though.

If it is the same car it has been hammered. That was why he did not keep his cars long.

He obviously had 2 sprint blue coupes having seen both videos.

Sounds like one to avoid then? Could explain why the 6 paddle clutch is slipping already!

Its Didcoops old car, People hated his approach to driving his Coupe, like he stole it,and filming it.

Nice car, had he not owned it.

Bit harsh really - he is a complete knob but he looked after the car well, no expense spared from what i've read before, including new paint.....at £2k a decent buy for that level of power properly achieved

There are videos of him revving the nuts off of it, With the fuel on empty, Thats just one example.

Apart from that, its probably been very well cared for....

What does revving hard on low fuel damage? Genuine question, i have no idea. But these cars are made to be driven hard PROVIDED they're maintained properly and from what i remember reading he did maintain it...

I still find it very hard to believe this is making 370bhp at 1.4bar on a .64 gt28rs. It's a standard 120k engine with no head work etc.
