I honestly couldn't tell you how much iv spent do far, think I paid £2800 for the car, I stripped it all back to bare metal myself, the paint job didnt cost me alot as a mate of mine done it!Cost me £2000 for crap carbon that my mate has spent alot of time in and now looks the tits! Alot of the powdercoated parts I had done years ago and have just sat in my spare bedroom! I think in total it will have cost me 15-17k but that's including the super high boost, some new wheels and every single part coated, plated or anodised! That other one is stupid money but if its clean its got to be worth 6k ish! |

I thinking of maybe building a Dimma from scratch as can build it how I wanted. Can I ask what offset the wheels are front and rear? I guessing yours has got the wide track conversion up front? Is there any wheel spacers on it? ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

No spacers at all, longer wishbones, McPherson adaptors to push the strut tops outboard, track rod extensions and longer shafts up front, no spacers at the rear at all!The fronts are et0 and iirc rears are et-38! I'm probably going to get longer stub axles and space the rear hubs out 40mm so that I have a better option for wheels! Iv currently got the original comps and split rims for the current set up, I will be selling both sets of wheels if I decide to wide track the rear! Iv already got someone that wants the comps! |

Was like Christmas today...Got back all my bits from the coaters so I can now properly start to rebuild the Dimma  Unfortunately for those interested I can't post any pics on here due to photobucket not working on my phone and my laptop is in for repair.  Sorry guys the waiting continues..... |

Well I'm at work stop again atm due to the cage not being finished once the cage is done and the rear part is in the car I can carry on with the buildAlso need to send the hubs and trailing arms away to be machined then hopefully I can get the beam built up and put her back on the ground |

When you say you have no spacers at the rear does that mean the beam is a wider model or its standard rear beam and its completely down to the massive offset of the rear wheels that you don't need spacers? ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Yep totally standard rear beam atm just massive offset rear wheels, really contemplating getting the rear wide tracked but new wheels will cost a fortune and iv got to stop at some point before I spend 20k on the bloody thing!Keep thinking what am I doing and just sell everything and buy something a bit more special/modern/ hassle free but can't seem to find anything that I would replace it with! Thanks for the comments tho peeps |

Finally got the cage finished so I took that and a few more other bits to the powder coaters today, hopefully get it back tomorrow and get the rear fitted to the car but its a bloody tight fit so I will have to be very careful not to scratch anything :-/  |
