Haha yea I lied to impress people online I don't even know.

I'm going on the information provided to me after I had already bought the car. there was no incentive for the seller to lie to me, nor do I think he was.

The motor was built by him, as his project for a year or so and then I bought the car.

Why would I lie? I would make a better claim than 225 if I was going to make any false claims.
