Im thinking i will probably keep it blue, then it wont need to be changed on the log book,
and yes originally it was sigma blue, although like you said it is a bit dull, I much prefer a brighter blue like it is now

Sigma ftw, it will look my like a real dimma then rather than a fake stick on kit thats been sprayed a random colour

I think brighter than them Smile

Re: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Connor - 29-05-2012

It is Miami blue, maybe some sort of custom mix though?

We went all though the colour charts and nothing matched exactly, so sent a piece of spoiler which was in the boot off to where the guy gets his paint from to see if they good match it, and thats what they came back with

Re: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Connor - 31-05-2012

Well when i had my dturbo sprayed, i was told there are 9 different shades

Re: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Poodle - 01-06-2012

Temp gauge might be more useful in the airflow from the cooler, rather than the water.

Yeah I have been doing a bit of research and have found an act (air charge temp) gauge which I'm going to get, and I can put the probe into the egr blank off as its on the side of the manifold, and is nice and accessible Smile

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Jimmer021 - 29-06-2012

Finished rebuilding the wishbones with new ball joints and front and rear polybushes:

The engine is now ready to come out and depending on weather it should be out tomorrow!

Then hopefully the car should be going tinot the bodyshop the begining of the week!

I have some GAZ coilovers with eccentric top mounts on order thanks to Springs

Whilst the engine is out I plan to do a cambelt and possibly waterpump as I have no history with the car so would make sense to do it whilst its accesible!
Also need to take the turbo aprt and clean out the nozzle ring to hopefully solve the sticking vanes!
The wiring loom is going to get a tidy up!
Going the replace the oil cooler sandwhich plate with a thermostatic one as it never seemed to have much oil temp!
Going to heat wrap the exhaust manifold and downpipe
If its the same I have a polybush lower engine mount

A Bit over 2K I bought it for, but will nearly be spending double that to get it sorted!

Also managed to get round to removing the engine today:

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Cezeli - 09-07-2012

Yeah but even for slightly over 2k you got an awesome car - really surprised the car didnt sell quicker tbh at the price it was up for.

There are so few of them, and alot of them have been messed with and changed. The likes of this one and Springs' vert look great. Keep up the good work dude!

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - C2K - 28-09-2012

No updates?

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Pugmarshall - 28-09-2012

Miami is the best colour! Never used on GTi6/XSi/S16 though, just Dturbo's and 1.4/1.6 etc and only ph1...

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Ruan - 29-09-2012

Didn't realise this had been converted to hydraulic clutch!

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - karl1989 - 29-09-2012

its had a full respray now

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Jimmer021 - 29-09-2012

Time for an update!!

The car has now finally been sprayed! there is no front end on it yet as that will get painted when I have the engine in and I am ready for it so that it doesnt get damaged!

Here are the latest pics:

And yes Ruan it is running the 2.2 Hdi box so has had the hydraulic clutch conversion.
I have a lot more pics of the work being done, i will upload them tomorrow

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - lewisdmz - 29-09-2012

This is becoming one of my favourite cars on the forum, the stance is just so damn rude and the spray job looks excellent! So great to see you are investing a good amount of money into it, Dimma's deserve it.

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Eeyore - 30-09-2012

Looks epic! Just noticed those back seats though. Never seen those before so im guessing they are some kind of Dimma spec?

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Niall - 30-09-2012

Wow that looks lovely!

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Tom - 30-09-2012

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Jimmer021 - 30-09-2012

Exhaust manifold ready for heat wrap:

[Image: IMG_0297.jpg]

[Image: IMG_0296.jpg]

Started to wrap the exhaust but having problems as the manifold is so tight together I cant actually get heat wrap through some of the gaps!!

2.2 Dimma Hdi - Jonny b - 30-09-2012

Jimmer it's not just standard s16 interior!!!! It's THE BEST interior pug ever put in a 306, looking awesome dude should revive a few ponies with the turbo work too

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Eeyore - 30-09-2012

get the exhaust manifold coated? Cant remember but there is a company that will coat it in special stuff but its quite expensive iirc!

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - C.A.R. - 30-09-2012

You mean ceramic coating I think mate? Yeah, that shit is expensive lol. For what it's worth I would just keep trying with the heat wrap...

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - Dum-Dum - 30-09-2012

That really is a beautiful colour

RE: 2.2 Dimma Hdi - jonny1.6 - 01-10-2012
