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

[Rallyprep_UK]

Hello, I am yet another who has just found/read the whole thread ! I should have gone to bed ages ago haha.

Anyway I love your car and touches and now finally know what CR24v is .

I am really loving chromies again lately and now I have seen this I am plotting how to buy my old one back as its mint with 54k miles !!! actually... its still in my name lol. One of my best friends bought it and just spent god knows how many hours replacing the inner and outer rear wheel arches and respraying it. Anybody want to buy a kidney so that I can buy the car back ?!?!

Thats a right 5hitt3r about the M50b30 and I know how frustrating it can be to hit major problems like this in a build/project...

But when she is done, you will appreciate it that little bit extra

Keep up the hard work and I cant wait to hear it live !

Will

Thanks Chris, it's not that I couldn't put it in. I just can't be ar55ed.

Will,
well done for reading all of the thread. Especially as most of it is Rav getting jealous and envious.
The Car is as good as I can get it. I can't really think of anything else I would like for it. Just to be able to drive it would be nice.

there are at least 4 engine upgrade/swaps going on up here that i know of and zero progress on any of them this weather

[Dezzy]

[Felix79]

Got zero snow down here in Oxford. I think we are one of the few places not hit by the extream weather.

[Dezzy]

Above zero today for the first time in 2.5 weeks. Snows gone from all main roads. I am starting to think about putting the donk back together. Too fooking bust at work still really. Plus I am running the place week up to christamas. Tbh I can see it being a new year job.

[gooner1]

No Snow as such down here either, however i've been
working nights since last Friday and almost every job has been
cancelled due to sub Zero temps.
Tossers don,t cancel it till we've spent at least 3hours hanging about
at minus 8. 's

[Rallyprep_UK]

I am lucky enough to have a workshop and unfortunately the roof is too high to make heating possible !. I did two hours yesterday eve and after a few hours I had to stop as I could not feel anything haha. Bloody weather...

We are soft down south tho I suppose haha

[Jhonno]

*Cough*

No snow for a while now...
