My idea is

- Install Mambo or another CMS in my home PC
- Feed Mambo with content
- With some Website Extractor and download all my own website
- Upload the pages to my HTML cheap hosting (no database, no php, just plain html)

I may have to do some code to fix links and so...

When my mambo site is updated, I will look for the changed pages to upload...

Is this possible? Or should i forget about...?

It is not uncommon for large websites to use some CMS to generate static HTML, and then copy that HTML to the web server periodicly.

However, I don't think it is a good idea to use a dynamic CMS and then an extracter to exactract that to static pages, and then put that on your server. I would either look to see if the CMS has an option for generating and deploying static pages, or use something like that new Macromedia product (which I don't remember the name of right now). In general, it is a bad idea to force software to do things they were never designed to do.
