Probably not but the main issue would be the out let for the charger being lower than the rad.... no point having longer boost pipes when I can just go round the sides

Is it still lower or totally wrong angle even when the outlet has been unbolted and turned a bit so it's not facing down?

Well my services are no longer required out here which is s**t for my bank balance but good for the dimma as I could be home in less than a week Sad

I can then get the dimma upto pro alloy, fingers crossed ill have it fully built by Christmas so then it can go to my mates body shop for some little touch ups and then mapped at the begging of next year

I would imagine that it would still be too low

God Pete why did you have to show me these Thumbs down

im now tempted to sell my gaz golds, carbon kevlar slam panel and sacrifice some other parts to buy these Crazy

would the fronts work with standard top mounts though?

To be honest I can't see me getting what I want for the coilovers even though they are brand new and only fitted to the car so I doubt ill get the ohlins, they would be nice and complement the rest of the car but iv decided to hold back on the dimma now and save money for a bigger house etc

The carbon kevlar slam panel would probably bring more money in than the coilovers

Ohlins

They look short though, you'd need some custom top mounts to get them in I reckon Ollie

They would be nice to have but its not going to happen Sad

the price has gone up to 3k now so totally out of my budget plus with all the extra bits like top mounts and rear shock spacers I would probably be looking at an extra £500

A few years ago I spoke to aurok who were ohlins dealers and they quoted around 4k for a set up!
if I was to buy top of the range suspension I would have to get tubular wishbones and a colin satchell-engineering rear suspension set up but im not made of money

hopefully the gaz golds will do what I want them to do Wink

The Gaz golds are good shocks, they are short body too. I ran them for a while on my old track car and they did the job well so wouldn't worry about that.

You don't need Satchell bits and wishbones to run the Ohlins, you can do that as and when, just if you plan to put proper shocks on it one day, you may as well buy them while they are cheaper! At least that's my theory anyway. Bit weird hes put the price up?! I reckon he'd still take £2k...!

Ohlins, Penske, Proflex etc will all charge you very real money for a shock so when they come up on ebay they are definitely worth a look...

Sorry I worded that wrong, I know I wouldnt "need" the tubular wishbones or satchell rear conversion but if I was to have the money for the ohlins I would probably go all out with the rest of the bits too!

my priorities have changed alot lately and I no longer want to chuck money into a car anymore Sad

Yep, Penskes, fronts came on the car but I paid nearly £1500 for 2 rear shocks! Not quite sure why I did that now but there you go. Just hope I never have to replace a front shock as there something silly like £2500 each, they cost me £800 to have them serviced but they were in a pretty sorry state after the car had been sat in a barn for several years.

I've looked and I see what you mean the outlet would have to face upwards and then curve around the rad into the cooler and the rad would need to be a lot shorter.
