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

[Dezzy]

It needs a fooking good clean. We are not called smoggys for nothinging you known.

The bonnet needs re fitting along with some other jobs. Then it's getting some hardcore buffty action. Then pics.

[Dezzy]

at last some progress ! well done fella it must be really nice to finally drive this turd

Steve it's fooking great mate. I seams like a lifetime ago when your jacket got covered in ATF trying to put oil in the M50 box I forgot to drain.

Again to everyone who gave up there time to help me, I really appreciate it. I will not forget the help I have had through the zone.

[spook]

Dezzy is the M52/M50 cam chain driven or a belt

[Dezzy]

Brand new chain mate.

[gareth]

[Dezzy]

Nar mate. I am proper gay this time.

No rev's, clutch up, max 2k, both wheels locked up.

She is a beast

[e30topless]

ace thread this,

take one solid E30 needing no paint, give it the big valvage donk/executive interior treatment, along with decent stopping gear and the cornering good stuff = massive win FTW !

epic Dez

[Dezzy]

Thanks Steve.

It's wanted for nothing

[e30topless]

[Kos]

nice one mate


i dont post too much on build threads but i have been watching yours through out the build.

[Dezzy]

@ Steve light weight B30 should be fine for the track slag

Kos,
Thanks mate. It will be at pod this year for certain

[Dezzy]

2.8 fuel rail fitted.

Covers on including M3 battery tray and loom.

Stopped short of trying it as it's got busy here. Hopefully it's going to run correctly now.

[Royalratch]

Dezzeh, the plastic sound deadening thing where the battery SHOULD be - is that an E30 part?

[E30BeemerLad]

Yeah, it's M3 specific, but fits straight up dude. Still available from BMW AFAIK.

I have a spare one as I can't be arsed relocating the battery.

[Duke137]

Can't wait to see your car on the flats of Northamptonshire in July

[DanThe]

You need a new wiring cover mate, that manky yellow stained thing just isnt on...

You would have thought he would have wiped away the man protein after getting excited

[Dezzy]

Oi you dirty b4stard.
If it won't clean it will be getting new

[DanThe]

Got a dishwasher at home?

[magpie]

great thread,great result,time for this me thinks no, and it's not even mine

[Dezzy]

Got a dishwasher at home?

That's a good shout that mate.

Cheers Mick. Nearly there now.

Ratch as Lee said, M3 part fits straight in and I think it was £23 through Cotswolds.

[Jhonno]

Fooking hell Desmond.. I lose t'internet for a few days and come back to this. About bloody time! Obviously make sure you run her in properly, last thing you want is 'polished' bores..

Heroic.

[Dezzy]

Just got some odds and end to sort out Dan, then it's tax and test. Then bed the rings in and generally run her in. Then full custom stainless system and mapping.
Hopefully then I can just enjoy it without any worries for a while.

[Dezzy]

Well I sorted the rev counter, powersteering leak, fan and finished the 2.8 fuel rail today. Thought it would be rude not to take it up and down the road tonight. It's still back firing through the inlet manifold on low revs but up the revs say 2k and above it's great.
Started bedding the rings in 2k to 5k hardish acceleration then engine braking down to 2k repeat over and over.
Any lock at all while foot is planted and it's snaking all over the place. In the dry with 225 T1r's. It's a monster. I haven't even given it any really and I have been fish tailing already. Very very pleased with the way it pulls.

Dibs on this sir ?

nitromors will clean it up a treat ! I use it on plastics to remove the BMW wax, it works great

[Dezzy]

Cheers Steve I will hunt it out of my very tidy garage.

PM me your address Steve and I'll mail it to you. £15 fella, cash next time I see you.

Any Diffin today Dez?

[Dezzy]

No miss behaving today mate. Bled the powersteering, fitting p clips to high pressure line re fitted the bonnet. She is looking like a proper car again

[E30BeemerLad]

How long did it take you to sort the rev counter mate, I really should get mine working.

[Dezzy]

5 mins mate.

Don't tell Yoda but I used scotch locks

No room to solder it in the car IMO.

[daimlerman]

Got a dishwasher at home?

Yes,but she refuses to wash car parts,say's they may break her nails....

[Dezzy]

CR24vTM FTMFW

[E30BeemerLad]

Fuck yeah!

When's the Jimmy Hill going on mate?

[Dezzy]

Need to sort the Rad next week pack the rubber mount up on the bottom, then fit my new rad bracket. Then fit the jimmy hill. Should be going for MOT on Saturday.
