24v Granite silver cab

[Dezzy]

I had a simular issue when I tried to do a loom myself.

Dan checked it out a found it was a diagnostic wire not connected correctly. Maybe the same with yours mate. Who did the loom?

Dan will tell you straight away I am a numpty when it comes to electricary

[DanThe]

Thats an E34 loom from the car the engine came from, I fitted the C101 plug, but that melted wire would be caused by a bad earth (engine strap)
Id say that is the earth to the oil level sender, if it is you can just snip it off at the joint in the pic as I dont think your car has check control

[e30topless]

cheers Dan, I will snip it, and check the earths

[DanThe]

Check the earth wire at the oil level sender first to see if its also melted, I cant think of anything else it would be but best to make sure first.

Take the earth straps off, rub them clean with some wet and dry then re-fit with some vaseline

[ETERNITY]

so steve 12v vs 24v

was the verdict

i want to hear a review from a hardcore fan of the old m20

[Rav335uk]

24V

[e30topless]

I haven't a clue as to the verdict, I have driven it less than 100 yards in the time I have owned it, this car is just an itch,

M20 forever


oh and dan, you were right on the wiring


tidied the bay up it now looks 100% better, re-taped up all the underbonnet loom and cleaned everything



would like to know where Malc got this sticker from

[spook]

Thats an old zone sticker mate, well i think it is

[tylerma]

ha ha cool sticker that
its an old style sticker that I butchered but it came out really well

[Alex]

very council !

[E30BeemerLad]

Be interested to hear your views on it mate once you have a lambda setup sorted

24v FTW!

I am a die hard M20 guy ,

done a few 100 miles in it and it seems very very good , a trip to dezzy's hopefully will sort the lambda out

M20 and M30 Bummers read it and weep

[Rav335uk]

You don't know the half of it Dezzy, he's moving it on, he's a "Die Hard" 12v boy

[Dezzy]

You don't know the half of it Dezzy, he's moving it on, he's a "Die Hard" 12v boy

Nothing would suprise me with steve.

He had a 12v that was the bollox on the road a couple of months and moved that on. It means nothing

[Rav335uk]

He'll move anything for the right price, but a 12v boy through and through though

[Dezzy]

I think you will find the last 12v turd was moved on for the wrong price

[Rav335uk]

Not enough you mean

[Dezzy]

Certainly not what it was worth imo

[Alex]

very nice steve, although them rear lights are dreadfull, are these for serving to the council sorts.

a die hard m20 2 door fan with a 24v cab, you feeling allright?

[e30topless]

Lights are now standard

and many many thanks to Dezzy it's running superb now a Lambda is fitted

one thing i do like about the M50 over the M20 is the motorway acceleration

[Alex]

Its won you over then Steve

M52 next?

[DanThe]

and many many thanks to Dezzy it's running superb now a Lambda is fitted

Just for the record Steve, tell us how much better it is with a lambda

[e30topless]

110% dan , no more hunting, mis-firing or backfiring ...fueling is spot on it pulls smoother and quicker

used £20 of fuel going to dezzy's and a tenner on the way back

Dez is a Hero !

[Dezzy]

Ha ha your welcome mate.
Car is nice mate solid underneath. Just a little tidying and will be a really nice motor.

[e30topless]

well spent a week dusting stuff on the ring road and getting used to the extra valves... this thing is quick ! definatly has the edge over my H27, and that was quick !

me likes it
Dan also has a plan for me to get a few more horses out of it

time to make it prettier I think, so booked it into a local bodyshop for a full job, it goes tommorow....

Tech 1 cabby skirts... is this wrong on a facelift ? can't decide so will have em painted then decide on fitting !



also found a few old pics from when Malc owned it !





M40 Turbo !




looking in a very sorry state today ...



starting to think about wheels... I want some BBS splits

[Dezzy]

Who the f*ck through that turbo at that motor mate. The install looks f*cking sh1te.

The lamda made a difference then? I thought M50's didn't need them

I like tech1 skirts on some facelifts. I think it would pull it off.
Got any wheels sorted?

[Alex]

i think you should give me them tech 1 cabby skirts steve

m40 turbo how long till you get persuaded to fit a b28 or b30 internals

[Rav335uk]

He does need some BBS splitties

yes I think so... BBS FTW

if I don't fit the skirts I will give you a shout

I almost did the Tech 2 thing,

[ImysE30]

A full Tech 1 kit would look nice IMO

And then fit some splits in deep dish fitment

[Rav335uk]

Steve you have PM
