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

[Dezzy]

trust me, its easy to avoid, if your nervous I'll take you for a few sighting laps in the S50.

Same goes for you too Alex if your going to go to one next year.

You will do for me pal. Not really nervous but that's normallymy problem. Fine up to my limit then in the straight past it ha ha

[DanThe]

IMO a tech 1 rear needs side skirts to look right, no side skirts no spoiler

Plenty of bootlids out there

[Alex]

Tech 1 front valance only FTW

[Dezzy]

Yeh mate but alpine White 1? Might have to just bight the bullet and get drivers front wing, tophalf of drivers door and a new boot lid painted and have done with it. It's only money. In for a penny where does it stop?

[DanThe]

Makes sense Dez, you will spend 2k on an engine so why not have some nice paint?

[Dezzy]

Point taken pal. Did you get chance to check them sums for me?

[DanThe]

No, lost the notes now

[Dezzy]

Think it was 3mm including gasket mate wasn't it? I have 1.5mm from tdc and squashed the gasket is 1.75mm. I reckon 0.3mm off the block? Sound zbout right to you mate?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Truely stunning! Looks in very good nic.

The only thing I don't like is the backbox. Needs a twin exit!

[Dezzy]

Ha ha you do like your details ollie. The tip of the backbox is from the cherrybomb thing that was on it. The rest is a megane backbox out of the scrap at work. I have a full 325 twin system to fit with the m50 so it will be up to standard. Thanks for the coments from everone. It needs some things still finishing off but it's solid so I am happy.

The man to speak to is on this thread. Quality kit though everything slots together like butter.

Ta, nice to be appreciated!!!

How come the rears are always left untouched when upgrading brakes? Do the bigger/better brakes not unbalance the brake bias? Just curious cause I noticed it in other threads as well.

Normally you can add a "bit" more power to front brakes vs rears on modified cars as they tend to have better tyres/suspension = a bit more grip = more weight shift to the front is possible = less likely to lock the front than the average road car. Running the same pads front and rear is a good idea in most cases though (depends on rear upgrade pad availability).

[SUMPCRACKER]

Dezzy, i used to own your cars brother, C34LGJ.

It was a 325i manual with blue recaro interior and 15" BBS.

Here is a lousy pic.


I also later had a blue 325i which was another C3 somthing LGJ cant what remember though.

[Dezzy]

Them pics are not of my car mate it's a moordoor isn't it. I can't make the plate out on the top pic but have seen pics of my car from years ago so somethig isn't adding up mate. Are you trying to pull my plonker?
I hope so

[SUMPCRACKER]

Yours is C38LGJ i had C34LGJ also in Alpine white, hence your cars "brother"...I also had C36LGJ iirc which was a blue 325i.

I was just saying we have 3 cars from the same batch from the fatherland .

[Dezzy]

I see said the blind man. Starting to worry me there. Thought I had a lemon ha ha. Looks like a nice motor from the crap pics like

[SUMPCRACKER]

It was tempting to pull the 4 door ringer joke, but i didn't think it would go down well lol.

[Dezzy]

Ha ha not with the amount I am in for ha ha

[e30cbe]

Dezzy,

nice car and cool upgrades as well. Which H&R spring are you using and how does it ride/handle ? I am asking because i am planning to use the H&R sport with the bilstein b6 and uprated anti roll bars - dont want to lower more than mtec spec due to our roads here.

[Dezzy]

Thanks mate. To be honest I am not really the person to ask. I am slowly moddi g the car as I go along and I have fitted 6 pot h&r's as will be fitting a heavly mod'd M50 over Christmas? As it is it's a touch ferm but I think as they settle and with the bigger motor will b lovely. Danthe and plenty of others are using this set up so they are better people to answer.
I defos didn't want to go down the slammed route as I don't think it suits the chromie's.

[Dezzy]

Just an uptade.
Snow and family has stopped much work on this but still been spending money.
I have a 3.15 quafe atb diff, gareth will be building it into my E30 casing next week or so.
The motor is in the garage with some work done not much.
All my new bushes have arrived and there will be progress soon

[Dezzy]

Got my finger out my arse today.

The M50B30 has a bottom end









Oh and new Wheels







I am just waiting for the diff case to come back from the coaters and my mate is putting new oil seals in the head.

Then i can fit the shrick sticks and chuck this bad boy togeather

[DanThe]

Nice one breadbin, looking at those cylinders you should have used bigger pistons They are not flat topped like I expected

Be careful when pulling down those cams!

[bss325i]

What crank, rods and pistons have you used to go B30?

[E30BeemerLad]

Shamone brother

Coming along nicely. I saw those pics in the PM earlier when at work and thought, cooooooooont

[Dezzy]

What crank, rods and pistons have you used to go B30?

M52 crank
S50B30 pistons

2.926cc if I remember Dan?

Oh them cams are my babys mate rapped in oil rags in the cardboard tubes under the spare bed warm and dry. My arse will be going 5pence 50pence putting them in

Lee oooow me grape were hanging right out when I got my centers back.

[Dezzy]

They are big enough mate. The machine shop wasn't happy takng 2mm out of the bores as it was especially as I want 0.5mm of the block too and custom little ends ha ha.

[dickster]

I've just got the horn for a two-door chromie on 15" BBS looking at yours. Very nice car you have there

[Jhonno]

Nice...

[Dezzy]

Nice...

Just read through Jai's B32 thread jhonno. I got the link for the non identical twins thread. Very Fooking lovely cars though.

Thanks mate I like it. 24vCR only way to roll. It's a lifestlye.

[Jhonno]

We both had our cars well before knowing each other.. We'd even both already started the S50 route also

[Dezzy]

Sounds like excuses to me.

Anyway it's all about me now you've had your turn.

[Jhonno]

We'll see.. Sure I can steal some of your thunder

[Dezzy]

Ha ha steal away mate.

Your cars very nice but far too much plastic. Everyone knows to be cool you need chrome.

[DanThe]

Those S50's are just overrated anchors, not a patch on an iS's handling characteristics

Molested M50's FTW
