Well I was happy up untill today, this morning i was stood under the car on the ramp, noticed it was a knocking a bit but thought nothing of it, then tonight driving home, it got worse...my uncle said, someone has done a cheap repair on the bottom end by putting in just bearings when it's happened before...that hid the problem for a few month...going to strip it and see what happens now...

Had it for 6 months with no problems, an engine change was done shortly before I bought it if you check the receipts bud.

Well anyways might aswell update this, basically bottom end knocking thats no problem, yet yesterday i decided to check the turbo, not being too clued on hybrid's myself, took a picture of the fins and its only got 8....turns out its just a normal ct9....

but adam(dizzydragon) has said to me he is going to give the money to me to buy a hybrid ct9 as thats he thought it had and had advertised it, hopefully he will but we will see :/

fair play 2 him for funding the money for the hybrid. id get it dyno checked again aswell when u got it all done as 213bhp seems very optimistic especially as its only a stock ct9 lol

well, i THINK it did have a hybrid on at one point, as ive noticed the dyno printout was from 2008, before adam owned the car, so either adam got it sold without him knowing it had a hybrid aswell, but i just hope he does give the money for a hybrid as tbh, ive given a lot of money for the engine to blow and have a gt justparked at home....

yeah, it is a very nice car, looks amazing, and yeah i did lash out a bit on the phone as ive got to get the engine done, but im not bothered about that, the only reason i bought this, was because of the "hybrid" ct9, the engine is no problem, we are rebuilding it at my workplace as thats what we do every single day, but i did apologize to adam and hopefully he will sort it out!
