Start with a budget of many many monies. No. More than that. A bit more.. Yeah, a LOT.

[Niall]

You can build them easily. All the parts are available from Peugeot Sport France. Will cost you about 300k mind.

[cwspellowe]

Think of a number you consider reasonable for building a 9krpm NA S16 engine. Then quadruple it and you're about there.

[callumcull]

Oh, looks/sounds f*cking ace though!

[Birk]

75k would get you a maxi.

[callumcull]

Is it easy enough to at least make the bodywork look that good?

[Birk]

You mean like this

[callumcull]

YES!!

[silverzx]

What beam did they use on this?

[Grant]

Standard beam with BFO offset wheels.

[callumcull]

How can I get those body panels? I want mine to look this good

[Midnightclub]

Providing it looked like this:



and not this:



It'd look good

[Scott]

well said Danny

Either buy a Dimma 306, or buy the panels from Dimma.

Im assuming you know nothing about dimmas so....

BIRKs one (the astor grey one above) lef the factory like looking likr that, ph1 only with a s16 engine . And are quite rare. They demand a high price tag even a taty one in need of a resto. A minter ...... Well ALOT of money.


Now dimma (who made the factory road spec'd ones i.e birks) reproduced a fibre glass replica kit (the orginals being metal) they still supplie these along with the wide tracking kit for around 4k odd IIRC < some one will correct me. Plus you need it fittin and sprayed. If your going to do it dimma is the only way dont be tempted by other cheaper fake dimma kits. They are not the same . I.E like the blue one above and you will just be laughed off the forum like waynerz.


Hope that helps

[Birk]

8k fully fitted with wide track kit and paint

Plus what ever the original price tag of the car, which iirc was around 18k

Hahahaha oh god...

[Midnightclub]

The worst part.. is that it's only a 1.8 and was slower than connors broken HDi which RR'd at 92hp lol

[Ed Doe]

Man, his 'exaulsts' just make me froth at the gash...

[callumcull]

Hahaha

Was that guy on or still is on this forum?

[Midnightclub]

Still here i believe just hasn't been on a lot since the last rinsing lol

[callumcull]

I wonder what he was thinking when he put that many exhausts on it. I wonder about some people's tastes in stuff, but everyone to their own I guess.... Within reason

[Piggy]

anyone tried retro fitting a dimma on a five door?!

[Midnightclub]

I doubt it.. it'd look wrong!

Wayy to much money to buy it and just have a go at cutting it up to try and fit it to a 5 dr

[Blandy]

Standard beam with BFO offset wheels.

Always thought The maxis ran a different beam

not sure if the rally cars did but the dimmas dont the use the same beam as the rest

[Grant]

Springs' cabby had mahoooosive offset wheels. When I say mahoooosive i mean you could stash a family of badgers in the things!

Springs car wasnt a proper dimma though. It had about 3 genuine dimma panels on it and thats it. A proper dimma does have a different rear beam.
