Yeh Ruan that is one of the problems and Ill just have to see for myself how expensive it is. At the worst ill have lost a few hundred and have experienced 6 ownership and gained some valuable experience.
Reason for getting a 6 is that I would be buying all the FMIC parts new, lowering, stage 2 remap and then a uprated clutch would be costing me probably the same or more than what it would cost to buy this 6 anyway. Also Jamma Mayhew wrote off his mint diablo 6 at christmas and ive still got the 1.8 so there is a wealth of P3 parts to make this mint! Everyone says about the colours being different but in my experience my P3 diablo doors and bumpers were a perfect colour match on decs P2 dturbo!
Also the estate is brilliant, it gets me everywhere but its just a bit boring and i miss the noise of a petrol. Also I really want to get a bit more stuck in with the track stuff which is why this will probably end up being stripped with buckets in it. Its already lowered which saves me some money. I would have put a 6 speed box in the 1.8 and have stripped and bucketed that but its a 5 door so i may as well start out with the right car instead of what ive got lying around!
i have thought about this tom! id need a 1.8 or 2.0 estate to begin with though and cba with the conversion. Plan is to track it so its pointless stripping it all and still having to put up with the extra weight and the extra doors!
Even if this car needs to be scrapped £80 for chyclones, £200 engine, £60 exhaust, £120 interior, selling all the other bits and weighing it in £200. Its probably about what i would pay for it anyway!
