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

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

If you had an M30, you could do what Rav did and fit an early 316 cluster with a clock in place of a rev counter. Could turn the odometer into a calandar for those pod runs..........

That actually made me chuckle Andy

[Dezzy]

As I was leaving work I took a few pics of how it is sitting. Everything is finished now. I just needs a few tweaks to finish. There is a tick over back fire through inlet issue to sort. I think it's an air leak. Going to have the ecu fault codes clear this week and see what that throws up. It will have the rings bedded in tomorrow fingers crossed. iPhone picks so not the best.

Rude mate, very rude

[appletree]

looking sharp, loving the jimmy hill

[Dezzy]

Thanks guys.

I am close now buts it's the last bits that are the hardest for me. Nuts and bolts are easy. Fault finding gets right on my nerves. I will get there.

[Alex]

looking awsome as usuall, cant wait for this years pod. going to be plenty of nice chariots there, this included

[beardymat]

Awesome!

[Dezzy]

Matt I owe you and many others a Drink.

I am looking forward to camping at pod this year but I have a feeling it's going to be expensive.

[RM2186]

Looking really sexy Dez, the seats look even better in the flesh.

Thanks for your help and time today mate, much appreciated

[Dezzy]

Any time Mike. A fooking bargin you got yourself there. Give Steve (Topless) a pm about the oily bits, a few good dolphin panels and you have a cracking motor there

[scott180gtb]

Looks Stunning Dezzy

[Dezzy]

Thanks Scott.

[e30topless]

mate, that looks ace, propper sleeper !

should be fun at the traffic light Grand prix!

[Dezzy]

Hope so Steve.
That's the look I am going for.

[E30BeemerLad]

The Jimmy Hill looks hooooge on yours, is it genuine?

Dont forget you said you would buy me a pint for every time you called me a Southern poofta, i better leave my wallet at home


However the car looks ace, right old sleeper

[Dezzy]

Your welcome to a couple of shandys.

Thanks mate.

[e30topless]

of course ! it was one of mine, came from a Gen pre-face shadowline car, I think it looks big because it's glossy.. it might look better in Satin ?

[Dezzy]

It has been painted in 2 PAC. The bloke who did it is really good. He admitted he didn't add enough adative? and he would do it again if I wanted. I wanted satin.

I quite like it but if I want in re doing I can. I will see how I feel.

It's the least of my problems ATM.

[E30BeemerLad]

Hope you get the cough/ burping sorted mate, I'm the same as you, other than wiggling wires and scratching my arse, I'm hopeless at fault finding.

When you've been tooling up & down the road bedding the rings in, does it feel like it pulls clean?

[Dezzy]

Yeh mate fooking great. Clean as fook!

[ImysE30]

Sick car bruv!

[macas]

That is very very nice mate!
When I first started out in e30s I used to hate chromies,but now 5 years on,I fookin love em.
What sort of power will this produce,bhp wise?and are you using standered brakes?

Was going to read the thread from the start till I seen how pages it was!Il save it till iv got more time

[beardymat]

Chromie`s are very much in at the moment. Im still a die hard tech 2 fan but i love the sleeper look of the chromies, it has to be a wolf in sheeps clothing though, 316`s just dont cut it.

[E30BeemerLad]

When I came into E30's I couldn't see past a tech2 kit, but it's pre-facelift all the way for me now.

Same with MK2 Golfs etc, I'd have a small bumper car over big bumper stuff now. Original lines for me.

[Dezzy]

Brakes are WMS 4 pots up front, standard discs on the rear, reds all round with braided hoses and clio servo.

Chromies FTW. They need to be naughty though. They have more of a classic car look. Instead of just an old bmw

[E30BeemerLad]

Standing under this car the other weekend it was impressive the gear that's fitted to it, no scrimping by Dez on this one, and I'm jealous of the condition of the rear arches, ya coooont.

[Dezzy]

Its had everything that i could possibly give it. Its the best i could make it. I am proud of it.

I have built what i set out to build and cut no corners. Its perfect! To me

[macas]

Will you be taking this down the strip at the pod?
If so I think it will one il be keeping a look out for!

[Dezzy]

Oh its going down the strip this year. I tried my best to get it there last year

I still have plenty of graft to get through before its ready though

[SpencerLavery]

Beautiful car inside and out, almost perfect save for the nasty sticker on the jimmy hill.

You won't like the zebra stripes then.

[Dezzy]

Rings have been bedded in.

There is no fault codes on the ecu. Tried and few things and spray a bit of brake cleaner about to find any air leaks. It's got a big air leak between inlet to head. New gaskets tomorrow and it should be golden. Just glad I found the problem.
When it comes on cam (S52's) at 3k, it spins the back wheels (225,40x16 toyo T1r's) in the dry
