Hi all ive come a Clio Cosworth 4x4 Dimma absolutely mint conversion (not cozi floor pan) this is proper weapon, im wondering how to register the vehicles change of wheel plan and or model type as well as engine size. thanks, anyone interested i will post some pics and the spec thanks

 

Love to see that!
Presume you'd need an engineer's report or similar, like with kitcars etc.

 

I believe if you tell them now about the engine and conversion to 4x4 etc they are most likely to put it on a Q reg I'm afraid

I have the same issue with my 4x4 fiesta cosworth so will have to cross this bridge soon

 

Get some pictures up

 

Pics pls

 

I wouldnt bother mate, m,ore hasle than its worth, i would check along the lines of vosa / vic check ? I think if the check it and they are happy with it you might not need to register it on a q plate but dont hold me to that!

 

Pics coming up soon, having a big spec engine build at the moment, car was built by DJ motorsport over 20k spent on it, but not by me, i got it cheap as the chap ran out of patients and money i suppose, believe me what a car fantastic fabrication, bill for Ł6500 for conversion alone, running full 4x4 gear, 200 block, h-beam rods, wisecos, 91mm, ACL, greys , stage 4 l8 ecu ect ect.

Still got quite a bit to do!!!!!!!

 

Nice, ive got everything now just waiting for 200 block to come back from engineers bored to 91mm to accommodate the pistons, head been fully ported double valve springs, T60 - 1 stage 3 turbo bla, bla, bla, you get the picture, who built yours mate, have you got all the digital gauges, this was fitted with em, just cant believe how cheap i got it, i purchased it blind off ebay, no pics, when it was delivered i was gob smacked expecting a bag of shite, i was wrong.

 

Look's nice i like the colour

 

Looking good mate

 

Are the fans on the intecooler due to space in the engine bay?

 

I am liking that retro mate!!!!

 

Nice project! How much did u get it for?

 

Yes fan on cooler due to to the lack of space, but when engines back in will see what i can come up with, should cool ok though, fans are set to draw the hot air out. But well see

 

4K, cozy 4x4 engine 200 block alone is worth 3K all day long

 

yes was paint about 6 years ago bare metal paint job, costing 5k but dont know the paint code to get the bumper done, called the chap who painted it but he cant remember the paint code, and its not on the receipt, shame, i think its a ford colour though

Found this on Youtube, cant wait to see it run

 

I usually hate body kits but there's something about the Dimma kits I like. Back in the day There was a girl near me who had a dimma clio with mi16 on carbs, looked superb. Then she had a pearl white Dimma Clio, also looked amazing.

Lot of work gone into yours. The silver mesh lets it down big time though! Halfords sell the same thing in b,ack, looks a lot better.

 

very nice job, looks like a neat conversion cant wait to see it running.

 

Thats really nice mate bet it will be an animal

 

Very cool

 

Cool car that!

 

Thanks for all your comments rest of parts came today, firing her up sat will video it for all to see, hopefully no more snags, fitted new water pump and that has cured that problem, no more leaks. fingers crossed for the weekend.

 

Think that colour maybe dark aubergine?
Lovely conversion,there was a dimma Clio on retro rides recently for cheap money,crying out for a nice Volvo esque t5 type rwd conversion!!!
