Oh and getting this off the same seller

I am going to get bufty on the shell this week, Fit a new diff gasket as mine is leaking, Get my torch key cut ready for ews and get everything ready for the lump coming home.

The amount of rain that's falling up here I am glad my turd is at work. No more engine conversions on gravel for me I am fooking sick off them!

[B7]

It's the little things that keep the enthusiasm up. Make the shell pretty, stand back and think "you know? all the blood sweat and tears ARE worth it after all".

[Dezzy]

I love the shell and even liked smoking the M10 around last winter. It won't be getting much action this winter though. Not with that donk in.

I can't decide to keep the 4 pots or fit the M3 5 stud and some bling wheels.
Also been having thought of S50/54 conversions but we will see what the M52B30's like first.

[Jozi]

Where are you getting the cams Dezzy? I'm after some as well, contacted a guy in the states and he never got back to me

Fair play for steaming ahead with the project

[Dezzy]

Just put a wanted add on E36coupe. I may know of another two sets for those who are looking.

I must get posting on there, seems a good resource! Could you pm me about the other sets you know of, depending on the damage to my wallet I might be interested. The lad I found in the us won't reply to my pm's, 150 dollars is all he wanted to

[Dezzy]

Your looking at £300 over here mate all day long.

[Jozi]

If the Sterling to Euro rates keep dropping then I don't mind, to much.

[Dezzy]

I have paid £340 for the S52 cams and a large bore throttle body including postage.

When they turn up at Dan's a week Wednesday I will send out the info to this guy. I don't want to send on info unless I know the guy to be sound.

No more engine conversions on gravey for me I am fooking sick off them!

Bloody northerners, thought you just put gravy on your chips

We do mate. Northern boys love gravy. Not sure what happened there.

[Dezzy]

The car was looking a bit grubby after 4 months of messing about with engine and running gear etc. Got busy with clay, G3, top glaze and bufty polish. I can't look at it. It's soooooo bright.



Happy with that.

[Royalratch]

Can't tell dude - one lame pic of the bonnet!?

[Dezzy]

It's a clean bonnet though isn't it. Nearly finish the car now I will put better pics up once it's done.

[Dezzy]

She does scrub up well







Ride height is a bit poo but that's down to no donk.

[Dezzy]

I have been buying goodies from Cotswolds no pics though. I got a new injector cover, top rad hoses, torch key for ews chip storage and new diff seal.

Also finished and painted the custom exhaust system I made.

Balance pipe connects to the manifolds






It's made from an E36 system kindly donated by E30beemerlad. Obviously I only used the box and balance pipe. The pipe work is 54mm straight through. The tail pipe trims are from an e46.

I think I will be getting a full stainless made once the car is up and running. Doesn't look that bad now though

[magpie]

handy to know


good work there m8

[Rav335uk]

What did you use to coat the exhaust??
If you want a stainless custom system let me know.

[magpie]

your zaust modifying skills are better than your bonnet alignment ones!

[Dezzy]

It is a bit of a lash up to be honest but it's a better size and flow than a E30 one.

Rav I have a local company that have a really good name in mind. I want it to be quiet until I open her up.

It's just high temp exhaust paint, nothing fancy.

Oh and 2 separate customers have asked me if it's just had a re spray this week. "how old is it?" "fooking he'll that mint!"

Put a smile on my face anyway.

[Dezzy]

Got some pic's off Yoda tonight.
As we are doing it properly this time, a complete strip down and acid clean to start with was in order. Then it was a light bore hone and a bit of paint. Now that is sexy!











Time to put it back together.

Phat Zaust Dez

I have blown the stuffing out of my new scorpion

[Jhonno]

Chop chop..

[Dezzy]

That doesn't surprise me Steve.

I have a funny feeling this dink is going to be epic.

[E30BeemerLad]

this is going to be mighty fine

Steve, that scorpion will be sounding fruity now then

it makes small children in the street cry at about 4k ,

Due to the fruity exhaust tone my good lady refuses to go out in it,

Dez this chariot will be awesome when done, whens the next meet up your way ?

[spook]

A scorpion exhaust is a handy thing indeed, i used to let my missus take my car, then i would know when she was coming home and know she would never catch me wanking

[Dezzy]

There is a meet around the 17th of this month Steve but they are out for a blast.

I won't be at that one.

At spook and the ginger one

[Jozi]

M3 Scorpion system? I just got one the other day for mine, not stainless though.

I'd love to rebuild my engine but it just aint gonna happen!

Not taking a chance on this going bad by the look of it!
