LOL this engine comes with a whole other car.... Worked out cheaper than building an engine up.
Spec's pretty insane. 225bhp and 8700rpm!

Epic. That'll sound spastic.

Tap up Wayne on here if you need any info on the K series. He's pretty clued up on them. I know you had a brief chat at CSF.

Finally read all the way through this.
Proper transformation from how it started and it felt really good out on track, a credit to you mate, I'm guessing the post above means you've got another?!

Cheers.
Yeah I've bought a championship winning hill climb car..... will need a re tune for track work though. It's engine was over £12k, so buying the car was far cheaper than trying to build another engine to that spec.
I'll start a new thread once it's in my garage. Should be ready for next years track season.

That's brilliant then mate, it didn't especially feel like it was lacking power but more won't hurt
Half an hour drive to the MOT station tomorrow as my first drive... could be dead (from the cold). Wish me luck!
I took my bike for MOT last night in -2 and the snow, at least you cant fall off 
Failed. Hungover and a few bits hadn't arrived that I want for the drive over (gloves for a bloody start) so booked in this Friday.
Safe to say I’ve had immense fun in the two years I’ve owned this.
It’s just been in to have a fairly major overhaul as I don’t have the time or knowledge... (or garage!) that Stephen does.
New shocks, springs, bushes, powder coated most of the suspension, new fuel lines, repairs to parts such as the radiator, new seals on the gearbox and Speedo sender, new fuel filler cap, cage properly bolted in, full alignment and a proper clean up from oil misting due to the aforementioned.
It’s back as of Monday just in time for... storage [emoji2957]

Had a nightmare with this car and mechanics, so fell out of love. It's also really not usable 90% of the time I want to go for a blast. So it's travelling to Italy once the DVSA sort themselves out.

Oh that is lovely! Have always fancied one of those V8 bathtubs 
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
Wasn’t funny in the other thread either..
Not a fan either. In fact can’t stand private plates full stop as you know. £500-5000 - spend it on the car.

It pre dates spiders by year and years.
It’s a 99 car. Spiders were fitted on Cerberas at the same time, were they not?

They’re an option - you can buy BolaB7 wheels. But I’m not sure they suit the chimaera.
