Wouldn't be too far off if its a healthy engine with a good exhaust system, anything between 190 - 200bhp would be a safe guess.

There or there abouts IMO. Unless you need specifically 200, the few hp it may be lacking wont be noticeable anyway

If its pre1993 it won't need a cat test regardless of age of car!

Happy days, am I right in thinking you could buy a 52 plate corsa put a early ex in it and it would be virtually emissions free?
