Modified Chimaera Club (MCC)

[swanny71]

May I humbly suggest that a minimum horse power figure should not be the main criteria for entry into this exclusive club?

Partly because there are plenty of other ways to 'modify' your Chim but mainly because (even with my planned winter upgrades) I'll probably never get to much more than 300 and I want to join in

There are other ways to get in than brute HP Richard. A host of other mods could qualify. Alternatively bribery could be useful. Getting me into a decent job might do the trick

from an outsiders point of view if this is to be an elite club, then the number of memebrs should be limited, that is what make it elite.

6 years ago when I first had a griff anything north of 300bhp was considered a monster, so to get a naturally aspirated rv8 with 330 to 350 bhp was quite an achievement, nowadays with more people being interested in modifying their engines these outputs are quite commonplace, so an elite club should be for engines with 360+??




sorry Daz

[dbv8]

If it's fixed then try and break it

[ChimpofDarkness]

I'm getting some new tyres, does that get me in?

[GasMunkey]

There's a similar thing with the vw camper guys

Certain rules but they all must run the quarter in less than 18seconds

A few mods are in the pipeline so fingers crossed the membership committe find them acceptable.
Unfortunately working here isn't half as good as it used to be, but I'll be in touch if anything comes up.
