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

[beardymat]

Its all good Dez, thats what the zone is about well most of the time anyway

[Dezzy]

Some pics of my 4 studs ready to go on.






Next the M3 5 stud legs, rear arms and the rear beam are going for coating.

The rear beam will get re bushed and served

The rest new bearings and rear disc pads. Then either front disc pads (standard) or 4 pots depending on the avaiability.

Anyone know the paint name and code for the BBS wheels?

[DanThe]

V nice, now throw some wheel wax on and get them on that chariot

[Dezzy]

If it ever stop's raining I will get some work done fitting the prop Gearleaver etc. Before I drop it back down I will stick the wheels on dude.

[e30topless]

Thanks mate. I really like it!
Only problem is I have no one else to blame if anything goes wrong.
Fingers crossed. I am going to see my seats this week sometime. See them in the middle of the re trim

[jmc330i]

They are about 6mm smaller that 205,55x15 so you should be ok unless it's the width that's an issue.

Yeah, I think the width will be the problem - the facelift arches are 'lower' than the chromie ones giving me less room.

DanThe - I was hoping to avoid rolling the arches, but it may well be the only way. The fronts have been pulled enough now (the damage is done) so Im not too worried about those, but Ive seen some very rusty rear arches not long after being rolled.

Or James could double rubber the rear springs to get that little raise. On top of the spring the rubber is much smaller so use 2 bottoms?

Good idea....

FAO James, I have a pair of 10mm spacers which i took off Buster`s old car which fit between the rubber and the spring on the rear to lift it without the need for new springs if theyre of any use to you.

Beardymat - you have a PM on the way

I really need something to raise the front as well - a 50mm drop with the S50 is just too much.

[Dezzy]

Depending on how much thread you have sticking through your shock nut through the top hat on the front why not just space the top hat up with a thicker washer?

That might get you 5-8mm on the front with the same springs.

Otherwise its new springs or re welding the spring platforms on the shock

Naaa it's not

Any excuse to get that turd on my thread isnt it mate?

Wheels look far to big bruv

Always looking for an excuse.. To be fair, it looks wank in this company..

Need the 17's innit.. To clear my brakes. Wouldn't go any bigger!

BTW Jhonno brakes are a nightmare arnt they when it comes to 4 pots.

Will any E36 M3 disc's and calipers fit on my legs as a temp upgrade? Obviously must go under 16" wheels though bruv

[Dezzy]

Oh and I got a phone call this afternoon. The lad who is doing my interior has done one of my back bench's. Pics tomorrow

Erm.. Yes and no. If you can draw your own stuff up it is ok..

I am running E36 M3 calipers.. You can either run the E36 M3 disc with a 12.7mm spacer (or something like that), or run custom hubs and rotors (like I am). Not exactly a cheap 'temp' solution tbh though

[Jhonno]

I am considering 'knocking up' my own 4 pot conversion for the M3, BUT it will be to fit under 17's..

[Dezzy]

Spacers in between disc and wheel? I like that idea. S50B30 calipers and discs?
They will fit under 16?

Anyone know the colour/code of my E38 BBS?

[Jhonno]

Spacer sits between the disc and the hub..

B30 and B32 calipers are the same, it's the discs that differ iirc

Not sure fella, not got my 16's anymore to check, can see if someone local has some to try

[Dezzy]

If you would mate I would really appricate it. Bear tokens etc.

So I need to slave the disc from the hub by 12.7mm. That shouldn't be an issue. I would need a hub extending disc centralising hub spacing diagram. Easy.

[Jhonno]

I have some 16" 1 series wheels here.. Wonder if holding them up against would help tell in fact

[Dezzy]

1 series have a gay offset but they may give an clearance of caliper idea?

[Jhonno]

Yeah tis what I was thinking..

I will measure the inside of the wheel, and try it on this weekend

[Dezzy]

Appricated my friend

[Dezzy]

A little teaser....



Just got to put seatbelt holder in the base and finish headrests and this half is finished.

[DanThe]

Pimp

[Dezzy]

Big pimping Brother.

[Dezzy]

We have gear's. Fitted the right height mounts and the props ready to go on.
Manifolds and starter tonight. Cheers Lee



Anyone got a spare one of these or a fuckd seat they could rape for me

[jmc330i]

Ive fitted the 16X8" BBS wheels to the front of a Z3M (same brakes as the E36 M3). Fitted no problems with a fair bit of space surprisingly. The differing offsets may of helped though.

We were hoping to try the E36 caliper on my strut to see if the wheel would clear, but ran out of time to remove it.


Anyone know the difference between the B30 and B32 discs?

[jmc330i]

Naaa it's not

It is round my lanes

[beardymat]

Did you get my PM james?

coming on fast now Dez, hope to start putting stuff on mine this weekend, better get a move on if i want to make it to the pod this year

[Dezzy]

I want to see yours at pod this year mate. Get yourself inthe northern convoy!

You don't have a black headrest ring in your parts corner do you matt?
One of these


It's been raining for a week up here. Started to feel like nothing was happening. Glad to make some progress.
Bought myself some bling for the dash. Pic latter.

[E30BeemerLad]

are those headrest rings different to front ones mate?
