My mate has a ecosse 306, he gets upset if you call it a dimma :lol:
Has a hefty 3.0 v6 in it too
Stunning motor
ye ive been looking at the gti-6...looks like a lot of potential there..and like lots of the stuff ecosse do for them..
i meant in real life...a dimma 306..cos ive seen a couple of clios..couple of 205..but no 306..
look nice in pics..

try split rims or big ofset wheels?!
yes i think you can but would prob be better with four to five stud adapters giving you a greater choice of wheels

Must be an old ad though
And another, shame no pics:

it may be sold by ecosse but it is actually an equisse kit :wink:
Yep, I'm currently helping build a new engine for this one. (220BHP 2L TB's lump :twisted: )
Although on a mild techniquality (sp??) this isn't a dimma, the old shell was a factory dimma, but after a slide mega drift vs tree and bridge it was new shell time :P
This is a full GRP A rally shell, then dimma'd. The front wings sit higher than the bonnet at the shut line if it's a Dimma.

That car is Bonos's mate of a mate... was at fcs...ben 306 can enlighten us further
yeah, bonos. basically an s16 running standalone management, bike carbs btcc head, then lot, sure its good for about 250bhp, altho hes aiming to get it up to the original s16 maxi spec of 308 bhp.
straight cut box, all the extras.
it is actually a ex works shell aswell

i'd definitley have one... only the wide arch one though.. and of course the slag
nothing wrong with mine Ill let you know haha

19-01-2007, 20:14
oh and of course yours.. any rallye 306or gti6
haha, whatever, only cos you couldnt keep up the other week :wink: :wink:
My mates got a gti-6 running TB's. Built by Pug1off. Go's well. Should do for what he's spent on engine/

haha, whatever, only cos you couldnt keep up the other week :wink: :wink:
lol the first thing i knew of you was when you had over taken me and were some distance ahead... that 106 gti wouldnt over take me.. i pulled over to let him pass..who was it?
i can remember the trip to the fcs lol...that damm 6th gear of yours.
lol
another question then
are the gti-6 s any good
because it looks lke i might get one of them or a golf mk4 1.8 gti or the 2.0 gti?
any help would be good
cheers
jules
dont bother with the golf. They are well underpowered.

leave the 2.0 golf well alone,a chipped 1.8t will put a smile on your face,
i had a do with one on a627m and we both were pullin silly speeds.
i have a 2.8 4-mo as a daily drive and he did alright once up and running!
fo-mo all the way 8)
am i just being silly but what is a 4 mo??
so a chipped 1.8 gti turbo golf..is better than a gti-6??
He means Golf v6 4-motion (vw name for four wheel drive) and is haldex contolled but i doubt you want to know about that lol
As lee says steer clear of 2.0 gti, has even less power than the 1.8 20v (non turbo) which only has 125 bhp! 1.8t would be very quick if chipped but i dont think itd handle quite as well as a gti 6 but is a better built car and if serviced properly can be very reliable. It depends what you want really but i dont think either is better than the other, just good in different ways!

^^absolutely :)
im after somthing that i can modify a bit thats still going to have a good poke when you put your foot down...insurance would be murder on a williams..and fancy somthing different from a clio anyway
seen quite a few nice eurod golfs...so was kind of thinking that route
i dont know much about the golfs mk4 but i guess they do a 1.8 non turbo and a 1.8 turbo..the non turbo would be better?? with a chip?
and then i look at the gti-6 and see all the mods i can do..
i just cant decide!

Not sure where you got that info, but the spec is
GRP A shell, with dimma retro fitted,
Bilstein GRP A coilovers (tarmac)
s16 engine, mildly flowed head and Lotus turbo bodies on MS making 180ish at a stab, cause it's f**ked hence new engine being built.
Gearbox is std, with a 40% plate diff
Std s16 rear beam
Rest is just seats harness's etc...
It looks stupidly high, but it's just the arches, it's lowered around 100mm which has caused no end of sus issues we're trying to sort out, it's getting bare shell rebuilt in about a month's time once my 205 is finished, so hopefully this summer it will be out attacking innocent pedestrians :twisted:

The one Lee is referring to that he had a do against on the A627 was a 1.8 turbo model, that was chipped and the owner said he'd just had it on the rollers at 217bhp. There wasnt much in it tbh, but the 4wd of our golf got the jump on him from the start. It was wet and he stuck with us round most corners. :lol:

if you like to REV a car dont go for ANY diesel car,they're arent many turbo cars that you'll enjoy either if thats your game.
buy a 306 rallye for thrills,buy a 1.8t golf for easy of power gains or splash out on a 4-motion for both 8)
a rallye anytime!!
raw as fook lol!!
proper car, lol.

170 + bhp,
6speedbox,
his has been lowered,and is immaculate..
very quick , certainly hybrid/williams pace, would surpass beyond 100mphi would go with the rallye.
I could pull from it lower down in the rev range, but at faster speeds the pug reeled me in .
iwant one with the wide arch kit ..class!!!
nice
just had a look on the ebay and theres a nice red rallye selling
looks nice:)

its not a proper dimma tho, the original maxi's where only phase 1's so I believe, prop a dimma replica
You dont want a red one, white is the only colour a rallye should be! That looks very nice ben, ive seen those pics before cant remember where though, possibly bttos?
One of the only cars i would deviate from clios to own, handling is supposed to be top class!
lol noo i dont want a red one
have decided now..
doesnt havvvve to be a dimma...
raylle have taken my fancy!
what wheels you got on ben?

forget dimma go maxi...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270081904426&fromMakeTrack=true
8) 8) 8) 8)
now thats the shizzle! lol
:lol:
thats not a proper maxi!!
thats a dimma rep, hence why its a phase 2 and on tvr hubs/rims/brakes.
Proper maxis are only phase 1's and based around the s16 engine, full metal arches, the lot.
That car use to be a lads from stockport, had marlboro stickers and that on it, what him that had the kit put on, it isnt one of 5 like stated.
how we supposed to know, this is a clio forum???
LOL
