With good reason, it's not just the material in the parts, it's making all the jigs and having them reversable so you can make sure they're spot on match side to side. There's as much work in a set of jigs as there is in the parts for a one-off.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Twangy your a legend Dave Brilliant base car  Sadly ....I wouldn't change anything & would do it again if I had the chance as I've enjoyed every minute of upgrading my car ...I'm hoping next year to really enjoy it by visiting Other tracks & having some great fun with people I've met & haven't on here It's still makes me smile when I'm flying past some tasty toys (I'm mad I know ) but I don't think £20k in 3years is that bad seeing as my daily is a (dirty derv that cost me £450 ) & has cost me £127 in 6 years in repairs & does 55mpg |

why shouldn't they cost more than a few hundred quid?you're not looking at direct replacement standard fit stuff, its a full setup with a subframe and hubs. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

comparing the cost of building something to an used modified car is foolish, its very obvious that car will have had significant amounts spent on it.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Youtube Vid theres a vid somewhere of a lad on here that did the hubs just cant find it right now! new bearings £80? that sub frame,.. would looks good but I don't think it's something that most of us with an angle grinder and a mig welder couldn't do? and few scraps of steel? that setup looks to be fully adjustable so i'm right in saying that you could dial it in to exactly where you wanted it yeah? ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

I thought I was on a forum with a bunch of likeminded built not bought people so why is there even talk of paying 2k for a couple of cleaned up re-worked parts some tubing and some rose joints,.. granted i'm no Colin Furze but I bet i'll get to where I want to be for much cheaper with the same or better quality for a lot less than your talking!  i'm not going to all the effort of trying to get the panels sorted getting them right and try keep the budget down so that people can try push it back up the costs to eye watering levels! between us all if we worked together I know there are some bloody talented people here we could knock this out of the park! without the need for bragging rights of who went where! lets get this f**ker sorted! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

To be fair yes you could get them done cheaper but why skimp, Colin in my eyes has justified the cost to me you look at his 205 it runs essentially the same setup other than a tubular subframe. £2k is a lot but when you look at what the peugout sport bits cost it's not bad value. If I had the time expertise to make them I would mine are in the midst of being fitted along with a six pot Ap racing brake setup. Price doesn't really matter to me but the quality of the parts do?and as you say fully adjustable to suit my setup.________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

The Krs kit doesn't include hubs because it uses proper Maxi hubs that I own a pair of the trouble is you need all the maxi front end to use it all and you won't get any change from £10k!________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

I don't think skimping is whats meant by my posts simply More bang for buck! without paying for the name!I believe we know people on this forum or have links to others that could do just as good a job I've always been about trying to do new and different things it's not rocket science it's pushing a set of wheels out a few inch and increasing the strength ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

I wasn't being a Rude saying skimping mate . I'm sure they can be knocked out for cheaper and yes I'm paying for the Satchell name. To be fair if you buy the Dimma kit it's £1200 so that's £800 cheaper straight away? I bought the kit as it was available I'm not for a moment saying everyone should buy it as you say strength and geometry have been looked at here hence why we changed to 406 hubs but that adds expense as the usual brake kits don't fit!________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |
