CR24v Custom M52B30 FTW. New Exhaust, New gearbox and Fan.

[Dezzy]

Ha ha.

I am slow. This is mainly down to laziness but I will try harder.

[Dezzy]

Not much happening with this biatch this week.
The lad who is doing oil seals has just started an new business (fixing BMW) and is working 16 hour days. He has done exhaust but hasnt and wont get inlet done till monday/tuesday. This is annoying but nothing i can do..

I have fitted the M52 goodies to the motor today just to make me feel like i am making progress. I used M52 powersteering pump, oil filler housing and alternator because they are half the size and weight of M50 stuff









Oh and i got this back from the powdercoaters today should go nice with the rear beam







What do we think guys

Did I not say, positive comments only thank you Lee.

edit = and you mike.

[Jhonno]

I have been turned into a sicko who appreciates clean shiny bits.. Is niiiiice




















Tart

[Dezzy]

I have never been that bothered about cleaning everything before. The problem starts when you get the first thing coated or clean the first alloy casing. Once one bit is newly coated/cleaned everything has to be.
I am now officially now a tart. Fooking great. Motor's looking sexy though isn't it haterz.

[Jhonno]

Will look sexier when at full chat in the car..

It is a very slippery slope.. One I am on also.. The M3 will be very tartish. All the mechanicals on my 316i were cleaned and painted also..

[E30BeemerLad]

Mate, with a bit of Spandau Ballet pumping out you'll be the don

Can't wait for a ride in this

[RM2186]

Don't you mean Soft Cell Lee


Looking forward to seeing this beastie though Dez.

Wonder what that M50 I have would be like in the sexy Touring

[Dezzy]

@ Lee it's Mark Armond or Jim Somerville or nowt.

@ Jhonno that M3 better be propperly tarted or I will be upset.

@ Mike your touring would be 100% better M50/52'd and it's nice already.

You should have painted the diff Dezzy, it would have filled up the corrosion pitting better

I was thinking about painting it as well mate. Coating will protect and like you say paint will fill the pitting. I am a tart you see.

[Alex]

Looking good dez, will be awsome when fitted into this chromie

[billgatese30]

Dez, your becoming one of the clean/OEM homo's with the amount of cleanliness on show here. (Yes that means you Dan/Barry/Trev).

I promise that anything that I make for you will look the tits. , just to keep up the standard of course.

[Dezzy]

I have a powdercoated rear beam and the trailing arms are getting done too. I know, I know I'm a tart. Chris I am really looking farward to getting my freshly powdered wheels on it.

@ Alex cheers mate. It will be about when finish don't you worry about that. Maily on dry day though. I am using it daily at the minute and it's killing me.

[gareth]

mmmmm... shiiiny!

[Dezzy]

Its wrapped and in post tomorrow to you gareth

Should get there about the same time as cw/pinion.

Only reason my chromie 'looks' standard is because its so nice, if it wasnt it would be wearing a Tech 1 kit to hide the snot

I an NOT an "oem homo" I am a modder

[Dezzy]

That's a good point.
What he said.

You back then I see.

[Dezzy]

Right from Si's advice about the standard exhaust being too small I am making a custom system from M52 front pipes, ballance pipe middles and back box. My welding isn't the best looking but good penetration and most will be dressed

I am using 54mm pipe for all the pipes so should flow ok.
Shouldn't be too loud as using standard boxes.

Pics arnt great as I was loosing light.



















In the pics they can look a bit off but in real life they sit perfect. I am really please so far with my efforts. The hole thing will be painted mat black once finished. What do we think?

[Alex]

looks really good dez

[DanThe]

Whats it sound like with the M10 Dez

[Dezzy]

Thanks mate. It's hard cos we are really busy at work so it's only when I can grab the ramp. I am pleased with it though.

[Dezzy]

Whats it sound like with the M10 Dez

I haven't got that far yet mate. When I do one side of the twin pipe will be getting blanked off and the other side joining to the single front pipe. I reckon it will give me 10 bhp extra from the oil dripping beast.

[Dezzy]

Finished the exhaust for now (till the M50 is in)
Just a few pics of it fitted. What do you think?





And a few of it on my way home. Needs a wash like







Oh and I got the head back (finally) this afty so mo day it's going on

[Blitz]

Love the exhaust tips.

[Simon13]

[Dezzy]

Me too!
Thanks for the coms gents

Si when you look at them together it's obviously going to help. Looks cool to IMO

ZR


Can't really see but how it sits underneeth.
It will have to straight through boxes in the straight pipes once the M50 is fitted as I want it to be quiet. I am pleased with my efforts though.

As I am a tart it's all coming off Monday so I can waxoil and paint the system.

[Dezzy]

Waxoil the floor not the exhaust before someone says something!

[DanThe]

Looks good in satin Dez

[Dezzy]

Looks better painted matey doesn't it. Please withit I am

[E30BeemerLad]

stealthy mate, stealthy.

I'm sure the M10 oil mist system will take care of any anti-corrosion under there

She's nearly there dude.

2 projects getting right near the end
