Just wondering what effect higher miles, i.e 100k+ will have on the coops power output.

Basically only want a standard or minimally modded coop, so would like to get as near 2 the quoted 225bhp as possible. I know that over time engines can loose some of the power, is this general, or just where servicing has been overlooked etc etc??

all engines vary tbh, but as long as the cams and rings / bores aren't excessively worn then the higher mileage cars still make good power, maybe more with a nicely loosened engine.

Regular oil chaanges & keeing the oil topped-up are most important in keeping your engine in good health as the miles roll by...

btw.....its 220bhp

my first Coupe was giving 241bhp when I crashed and killed it at 123,000 miles (only mods were a K&N panel filter and a Supersprint cat-back exhaust)

When i first brought my coop it had 244bhp with no mods. I remember this being talked about on the old forum about people with higher than 220bhp standard.

cheers guys, sounds re-assuring.

What kind of check list should i have then 2 reduce chances of a below power engine if i go to see high(er) mileage coops?

Cheers

I would get compression test done on the engine at the very least, you can also have 'leak down' test performed, though I am not sure what this entails.
