Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 06-05-2014
right so after completely writing off my black dt, i was left with nothing. after a search i found a decent peugeot partner van for £300 needing an engine change. well after a week decided it wasnt going to happen as the multiplex was a pita.
so started looking again, and found this on ebay listed within the last 5 mins and only in guildford! so messaged the seller and picked myself up another bargain!!
so got this beauty. 5 door diablo family editon. an actual dturbo spec. when i paid £200 with half tank of diesel, a brand new jvc unit (worth £100) and 5 1/2 months tax!
so got a lift up to guildford from ed doe (massive thanks) and me a curt drove it back. it was advertised a tatty and dented and advised id probably breakdown on the way home, and it about 6 weeks fault free so...
right so few pics
heres what she looks like

Just don't wash it, the lacquer will drop off faster than Brooklyn Blue's knickers!

Never had a problem with mine
Every time I wash everyone thinks I've been round with wax polish anything to get it to shine just naturally shiney
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Grant - 06-05-2014
Lucky sod. I think mine has more lacquer missing that what is left.
The force of mild flatulence near mine will probably do some damage
RE: Matts diablo family edition - 7057sam - 06-05-2014
Loking good matt can't wait to see it slamed on them wheels
What seat mounts did you use?
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 07-05-2014
I made my own. Angle grinder and a drill ftw. But they have been taken out and sold now
Can't wait to get it slammed, only problem is the beam and me being a complete noob, been putting it off for 3 weeks lol

Mine doesnt have lacquer peel either which I was really suprised about. But I think there is a few bubbles on the bonnet.
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 09-05-2014
New parts arrived
So I have 80mm studs and some new nuts for the rear.
![[Image: B7603673-C63E-4943-A812-E1ECBF6D5ECD.jpg]](http://s35.photobucket.com/user/mattbush/media/Diablo%20family%20wagon/B7603673-C63E-4943-A812-E1ECBF6D5ECD.jpg.html)
And also had a package from piggy arrive of some standard steel wheel bolts so all that's sorted.
Will be picking up some 20mm and 17mm spacers off Pompey mark tomorrow if all goes well.
20mm will be fitted on the rear and 17s on the front when I can afford another set of stud and nuts haha
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Grant - 09-05-2014
How much were the studs and where did you get them from petal?
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 09-05-2014
Egay paid £1 per stud and same for the nuts
Nuts are from Jjc race and rallye and the studs are Grayston (which I know aren't recommended, but it's only temporary and they are high tensile)
RE: Matts diablo family edition - C.A.R. - 09-05-2014
Holy crap the camber on that beam looks pretty bad! Has it rubbed away your rear arch liner (like mine did!)?
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 09-05-2014
Not yet haha it's crazy! Hopefully disc beam on next week
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Pompey306mark - 09-05-2014
Mine are grayston and have been fine for years. Again I got them both from JJC.
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 09-05-2014
That's good to know! Iirc someone said they strip thread pretty easy
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Dum-Dum - 09-05-2014
She's looking good babe
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 11-05-2014
Went and saw pompeymark306 yesterday and picked up some 17mm and 20mm spacers
Got the on the rear coupled with my stud and nut conversion, and well, 80mm studs are a tad too long! But I'll angle grind the off so they sit flush

I have a really mixed opinion on the car, everytime I do something I'm not sure wether I really like the car again, there isn't much love for it haha
Anyway, 17mm spacers will be on as soon as I an afford the stud and nuts for the front

RE: Matts diablo family edition - Piggy - 11-05-2014

Tyres are huge, but they are comfy as f*ck! I hate low profiles

No running due to the fact my beam is cambered more than any dub
And I'm standard hight atm
Once it's lowered I will be rolling the arches, it does look like it will be pretty tight
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Eeyore - 11-05-2014
Looks like a lot is happening here. yellow fogs and black masks for the win!
Are you just using standard seat belts?
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 11-05-2014
The buckets have come back out, as they were sold unfortunatly
skint as f*ck and desperate times.Some more will be purchased in future now I have a job and pulling insane hours
RE: Matts diablo family edition - Matt - 12-05-2014
Caliper bolts turned up today, so hopefully can make a start on the rear beam, just got to figure out which brake lines to disconnect and from where lol
