Wow, that must be some pretty hardcore vandalism if your car is totalled as a result.

Did they set your car on fire on something?

Why is it that when members of this esteemed forum request proof/confirmation of certain quotes the original poster, of heretofore posted previous statements, all of a sudden has an insurance/vandalism issue out of the blue?

I don't know. I thought EXACTLY this. BUT, I wanted to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. I have previous conversations with him, asking for specifics on his modificiations. I felt the answers to be evasive.

If you read this board regularly, you get a feel for who is on board, and who is full of ....

I'm still going to give him the benefit of the doubt. But the timing does seem fishy.

I'll even add to it, the 230hp number seemed hugely PIE in the SKY. Looking back at it now, even more so.

I don't believe he ever claimed it was too the wheels, did he? IIRC, he was using a Gtech to measure HP. I don't recall him ever saying he had roller dyno numbers of 230@the rear wheel.

230 at the crank is very believable. A pulley alone, with only a very conservative 30HP gain, gives you 222HP.

On an M111 engine yes, not on the M271 though!
