I think your friend will have a hard time selling as chy wright is known for building some utter ****e engines!!

Do some searches on here and you will see what I mean, I am surprised it hasn't let go already...

Nice Type R fella
360/390 on standard top mount are very good figures...
I would be proving with dyno sheets!
Brakes standard?
Suspension standard?
All the best anyway

He's got dyno printouts for the car and it is on standard brakes and suspension.

And where in your post does it contain any useful info to aid in the sale of the car. It p1sses me off when plebs make pointless posts like this, theres absolutely no reason for that post whatsoever but unfortunately it seems more and more common on the site and it seems theres now more mongs than descent lads on here recently.

I have read about chy and the poor engines hes built, but i have also read about the good ones hes built too. Maybe this is a good one, who knows?

That dosent mean you need to p1ss on the guys for sale thread does it?

Gaz
The guy is giving good advice,
I looked at this car, I would never buy any car where Chy has worked on the engine,
Ask the question why the garage has shut down and he is working from home,

I would start the thread again before too many people see it, don't mention Chy, Pennine

The car looks ace

That's the useful info

I am simply stating a fact! Chy is known for building **** engines.....I think people should know!!

LOL pleb....you go buy a car that chy has tampered with and see how long you stay on that high horse of yours!

Wouldn't you like to know before you went to buy the car that the engine had been worked on by someone with such a bad reputation??

Does look a nice car though to the seller.

Well I did do a search like what was suggested and all I came up with was people who had massive £££'s and big power builds complaining... Don't think I seen anyone complain about a 'normal' power sort of a build??

Big builds or normals builds shouldn't they all be of the same standard? Because in theory the principal is the same your building an engine, on big builds you are using more expensive components which dependent on build require more maching to suit, though the final quality should be of that the engine is fully functional, which clearly does not happen.

I agree though the bad reviews are more towards big builds that have had fundamental flaws, though it does show a general lack of competence.

In principal yes that's a fair shout, reading what they failed of does point to some basic errors in the building stage which could quite easily happen to any build.... But I'm fairly certain the engine that's in this particular car has been in it for a while now so I would of thought it'll be OK... Don't hold me to that tho Lol

Thanks for the CONSTRUCTIVE comment All I can say about the engine is that its been running this power for two years with no problems. As I don't own the car I can't elaborate on the engine build so anyone who is interested in the car please contact the owner via the link in the first post.
