Epic! I had a 190bhp 205 and that seriously shifted, but this must be mental.

You're looking at the torque curve, that's the turbo coming on full blow at 4k.
This looks like a proper sly monster, hope it's kind to you lol!

ouch. thats about the price of a decent box mind.
I meant a proper rally car by the way, not a 205rallye.
the old 205 rally cars are getting a bit old now so you can find some nice shiney parts from them kicking around if you do some searching

So i wanted a dimma, so much that i bought one that needed a new shell, so i currently have lots of dimma parts including 4 rear wheels and two front
the question is, so i send the car to St Performance and get them to supply, fit and paint the car and also register the car with dimma/get a plaque, turning the car into a genuine Dimma, or do i spend about half what it would cost and restore it myself then get a 3rd car to send to ST performance and cost far more

I would cost me about 10k, from buying the car, the engine mods i have done and the dimma kit fitted, i would need to do it now while im still is this part of my life
Also means that i could get rid of 90% of the scrap i have at my house, and go down to two cars and just buy a ~£200 scrapper every year for winter
