McD's carparks everywhere will no longer be safe..

I've already tagged his local drive thru

Now that's funny Lee. Very quick I like it!

Or I nearly forgot another special order came today

[Dezzy]

So now your building a "Drifter"?

I can't make my mind up

By the way Rav I hardly bother with tbmw but I bought it yesterday partly because of a nice looking cab on the front

It's all comming apart soon, for a full respray and i'm thinking of loosing the side pods, skirts and keeping only the front bumper,valance, and new bumper, not the tech 2, slamming it on coilovers and then the BBS's,, what you think???

[Dezzy]

Same colour?

I reckon leave the kit. I like BBS splits nice and wide with the kit with the right stance.

[Rav335uk]

Yes Dezzy, same colour.

Might have the kit done too, and offer it up after i have sorted out the suspension then.

[Dezzy]

You will have to fill the holes in the wings though mate if you don't wantthe kit.
Then re drill if you want the kit on?

Tech 2 has to have the lot IMO!

[Rav335uk]

mmmmm, still looking for pics, onwards with the search then.
When will yours be ready?

Taken at a northern meet in 2005 (*the one Dazleeds organised and then went on holiday) My old lachs 325 in the background

[Dezzy]

Good question. Not quick enough for jhonno. I think he is more excited than me.

Drain gearbox and new oil and seal
Fit z3 rack get custom pipe work
Fit motor

[Rav335uk]

Those are RM's, on 15", needs a drop on 60mm.

Ah, only a few hours worth then

[gareth]

Hmmm, I think the yellow bush might clash with the black case

i thought that, so i painted the case rattle can yellow

the pile of homo shiny new diff parts i have here is shocking.

dezzy, i've had a think about it and there are three parts on the diff that won't look as new or be new... the speedo sender and the drain/fill plugs.
i've bought everything else

[Dezzy]

I have drain fill here mate

[gareth]

i'll dig out my prettiest spare speedo sender for you then - i've got a few kicking about

[Dezzy]

Your a legend mate.

[Jhonno]

Have you finished this yet you slacker?!

[Dezzy]

Yeh just couldn't be bothered to tell you. I didn't think you were that bothered

[Jhonno]

Well when it's done I can ridicule it.. Until then, if I try, I will just be told to wait till the finished article before passing judgement

[Dezzy]

Have you herd him.
Judge away mate. Be honest, it's fine if you don't like it. I can't help it if you have no taste.

[Jhonno]

I have great taste.. Proven, and will be further reaffirmed soon enough

[Dezzy]

M3 + S50 =
Even a retard can see that. If you can't see that CR24V are you have been around plastic too long

[Dezzy]

You will all be sick of seeing pics of my engine but it's Finished
Been waiting because I ordered the later chain tensioner piston then needed to swap it. Doh

It's timed up and has been turned over by hand a few times with no restriction











I hope it runs as well as it looks! I am well pleased with myself. It's full of tarty touch's just for the haterz. Just the loom to through at it now. The gearbox got a new selector shaft seal today too.

[DanThe]

Are you going to fit it upside down Dez?

You can use a late tensioner housing which can be polished

I had a total brain fart there mate. I could remember which way round it went so took a punt. Obviously the wrong way

[Rav335uk]

He's Irish, don't you know

[DanThe]

You wouldnt believe how many people do it

You ought to be using an alloy stat housing as they are much stronger and dont crack like the plastic shite

It's is mate just grotty so I painted it

Good job if it look oem I reckon.

[E30BeemerLad]

Mate I'm chuffed for you, that looks very nice indeed.

I'll have a gander on Sunday

[bss325i]

Luverly!

[Alex]

looks superb, whens the beast going in then
