Hi Dave,

we still need to put the engine back together and get some nice new shiny parts to make it look the part.
will ad photos when its done.

 

[DaveDreads]

Cool, I bet it'll be a brutal work of art. :evil:

 

[Ray Gin]

Nice. Them Cosworth engines go in anything.

 

[Chapppers11]

I think I'm too young to understand the appeal.

Why no wing mirrors?

 

[.GAZ.]

WOW!!!

I mind Project Thunder and RS kicker!

 

[Jonny1*2]

Don't need to look back. This thing will be nippy takes me back, but the kit has lost appeal for me. Prefer standard looking willy

 

[Heez]

Why look at what you've just passed lol.

Looks and sounds mental!

Seriously? The yellow Lotus Carlton?

 

[Dimmashop.com]

[.GAZ.]

Gutted!!!! Wonder if there's any pics of it, post accident.

I remember seeing a dimma cosworth at brands hatch about 20 years ago- along side a 205 Dimma-

Was infact the 90's dream-

looks great- from what I remember most had gold wheels...

[Stefan.]

Is it bad that i really liked this

 

[Pete.]

That is just so cool, takes me back to the heyday of Max Power.

 

[DaveDreads]

That Pug's well nice, all the owners of horrific chav wagons should be shown that picture and told,
'LOOK, that is what a body kit is meant to look like, not a f*cking snow plough like yours you c*nt'!!!!

 

[Zmaster2k]

i need this in my life!

LOLCANO!!!!!

 

[sgtbash999]

Hate the rear spoiler but love the rest!! I remember seeing a red (similare to a flamer) Dimma years ago and it looked the nuts!

 

[Scutch]

I still have that magazine. Looked purple in some shots.

 

[Hixle]

Awesome!

FAO Gaz:

 

[497adam]

Awesome!

FAO Gaz:

was that the 8v carlton that they turbo'd?

 

[497adam]

12 valve i mean, chose it over the 24 valve version

 

[497adam]

I think i remember the project before it, wide bodied e30 325 in purple?

 

[Hixle]

Not sure Adam, I was only 6 when the Carlton was about

Thanks to this thread I'm now looking at RS Turbo's. Lol.

 

[497adam]

Ha ha some of us are little older, although even I wasn't that old when they were about. Would still love a lotus Carlton epic. Remember being at a track day about 12 years ago and a guy losing one big time. Luckily he only ended up in a very muddy area off the circuit and having to be dug out by the marshalls.

 

[Short Norman]

Don't think that extra DTM style spoiler was on the charlton when it left the magazine.

Anyway back on topic, the dimma kits were always far superior design and quality compared to anything else about in the 90's. Then again from memory wasn't the cilo kit about £5k?

 

[Paul172sport]

I had that Clio on a poster on my bedroom wall. Looks as great now as I remember.

Think the appeal is only for c certain generation tho

 

[plymcl172]

I am very mixed about this, on one hand its a teenagers dream and something I would have loved at 19. On the other hand its miles out of date and lost its appeal 10 years ago, sadly :dapprove:

 

[Clio172T]

Love it!! More. Photos!

 

[Cerrone]

Is it bad that i really liked this

If this is the one I'm thinking it is, it's for sale in Droitwich... Or was a couple of weeks back, was a shed inside tho!!
