About 100 bhp, is more than enough for any Chim

I mean how much BHP do you need to pootle along to the local golf court, with a few sticks in the boot

The worrying thing is anything more than the output of a 998cc A-series will tear the hair off a Griff owners chest wig.

In a Chim/Griff chassis I'd wager you couldn't have more than about 350hp without uprating various bits and bobs.

I ran my car for 2 years on the dragstrip etc with 273 bhp and regular use of upto 250 bhp of nitrous. Most of the time i used a true 150bhp shot and the standard, gearbox, diff, suspension and shafts all held up fine. The only upgrade was a John Eales clutch.
The car is being fully rebuilt with forged pistons etc etc, raceproved driveshafts, Nitrons, and a few other tweeks. I hope to have over 300bhp NA and use 300bhp of nitrous. Lets see how long the std gearbox lasts.

By the looks of things (it's not my photo) a very well engineered driveshaft saved an engine having an out of body experiance when the tyres could grip more than the drive shaft could handle.

Many folks think the Griff is the sister car to the Chimaera. They're wrong.

I think clutch is catergorised under "bits and bobs"

Guess you Griff owners don't do much sport..?
