Back in January I bought a Chimaera. I wanted a 4 litre so I could have TVR Power's turbo fitted. After speaking to Dom he suggested a maximum mileage of 50k. This had 49K.
The car was delivered direct to TVR Power and we agreed the turbo upgrade, a new cam and a 500 clutch. I also wanted a new radiator as it looked a bit tired.
The engine was removed and Dom sent some pics. Not good cry

The cam bearings are shot:


The crank shells are black:


The radiator out of the car:



Dom will give 3 years warranty with this rebuild and turbo so pleased that I should have a good reliable engine woohoo
I've owned the car for 2 months, never driven it and its cost me a fortune. I must be bonkers. And its still in pieces being worked on so I am no nearer driving it....frown
