I would go for the for the first link

It looks really clean and good,with some nice mods in the engine, with a proven dyno print so you know its producing the power, ask the seller who done the rebuild of the engine?

yea i love the look of that one and ive just sent him a mail asking bout the rebuild... with the other one it was the fact that it had just had the rebuild and has bills for loads of new parts etc and the Warranty on it, shame it looks a bit like gay

yeah and ask him to send u a scanned image of the dyno print as well, gives you an idea on the power curve , a nice wide power band would make it very nice to drive.
