PM me how much you want for it, if you want to sell it on at some stage

Car looks fantastic by the way.

[cro320]

awesome work!
beautiful car really

[Felix79]

Welldone Dezzy mate, bet your glad it's done. Now it time for the most important bit, making sure your mrs never finds out how much you spent

[Dezzy]

This has been a zero reciept build.

Loose lips sink ships.

Thanks for all the comments. I now have a clutch to change in the car. Oh the joys.

[Rav335uk]

Have fun

[craigieeb]

Why don't you try a sprung type paddle clutch Dez

Hell of a difference to a solid plated one

[Dezzy]

I know mate but it's a road car. I know of a 3lt track car that gets its head kicked in and is fine on a standard sach's clutch. That will do me.

[e30topless]

The ASBO Manc won't be getting the keys Dan. I have been in a E30, with a brand new engine, with him.

hey less of the manc ! i'm a yorkshire thoroughbred

mate i don't need keys !

[craigieeb]

mate i don't need keys !

Just a spoon

[Dezzy]

Ha ha.

Be nice Steve. I love my baby. I just hate the clutch. It's a touch hard on the front too. Think I will have some fettling over the next few months.

[monkey]

well done Dezzy .now enjoy

[E30BeemerLad]

The fine tuning will keep you busy & skint over the next few months mate. It's all about preference isn't it.

I may swap out my B6's as I enter more of the comfort zone. The toyos have made a lovely improvement and the eibachs arrived today. Your car looks hawwt.

What I've learned is what looks nice on a spec list don't necessarily make a nice road car.

[Dezzy]

I totally agree.

I am over the rock hard ride already. B8s handle great but are a bit hard for me. I will have to research some shortened shocks with more comfort than the B8's?

The paddle clutch is sold and the replacement ordered so another fun job to keep me busy.

[e30topless]

can you get the box out on it's own or is it donk and box out together?

i told ya that clutch was pants when i bled it up ! must be a nightmare in heavy traffic.. on....off...on...off

[Dezzy]

Exactly that Steve.

Donk doesn't need to come out. It's not straight forward by any means. I have a plan.

I knew what you meant Steve. I had been thinking he same for ages. Just thought I would try it. Bad move. It's actually ok when your driving it hard.

Anyway whats a couple of hours graft now.

[E30BeemerLad]

That was sexy that armpit full of ATF wasn't it Steve

[beardymat]

My S50 had a tricky clutch in it when i got it but i decided to go for a new standard sachs item when i bolted it all back together, i figured that the standard clutch was designed with pulling around a bloaty e36 in mind so should be perfectly capable of coping with a few enthusiastic starts in an e30

drives beutifuly round town but is useless in snow as the (non) manc one found out.

[Dezzy]

I need it to be nice around town Matt. It's fooking great everywhere else.

Matt mine isn't even being reved ATM and it flys. I can begin to think what a S50B32 E30's like. Your a lucky guy

[beardymat]

cant remember myself really, been a while since i was at the wheel. Just getting some insurance sorted so i can get down to the mids meet next sunday. looking forward to getting back behind the wheel.

[spook]

There might be something wrong with my eye sight but the curve on that front wing looks different,

[Dezzy]

I think it's a bit of a camera tick and the M3 bushes pushing the wheel forward. I hope anyway.

Trust you to pick fault.

[DanThe]

B8's are a perfect balance, ive used standard dampers (boge or B4's cant remember) on the front with my old M50 and they are not up to hard driving with a 6 pot IMO

Clutches are the bain of my life at the moment also

[spook]

Aint picking fault mate, I like it, M3 bushes it is then

[Dezzy]

I will probs leave them Dan. I think I will get used to them. Just wish they were a little more forgiving.

[Dezzy]

Aint picking fault mate, I like it, M3 bushes it is then

I know mate. Just joking.

[e30topless]

drives beautifully round town but is useless in snow as the (non) manc one found out.

S50 + snow and a quick punch on the loud pedal = arse like a rabbits nose

I have never done 60-70 mph completely sideways on the Motorway before ....

doubt i will do it again TBH

[Dezzy]

My car + slightly damp roads = active rear end and low speeds.

That ^ must have been interesting.

[e30topless]

Matts Falkens might be good in the dry but ..... Toyo's FTW !

[Dezzy]

That was sexy that armpit full of ATF wasn't it Steve

Lee, Steve uses Dexron 3 as rollon.

[beardymat]

Toyo`s would be my first choice but the car came with a full set of brand new falkens, they remind me of lego tyres.

it will have toyo`s

[Dezzy]

Matt pm me what you need size wise and I will quote you happy.

[e30topless]

That was sexy that armpit full of ATF wasn't it Steve

Lee, Steve uses Dexron 3 as rollon.

do you want pics of me in my Mankini with a gallon of dextron ?

Matt it would be rude not to wear the falkens down before replacing them,

[Dezzy]

They could be a nice back up tyre. It would be rude not to have toyo's on his car IMO.

Oh and Yes please Steve.

[Jhonno]

Fecking hell, you CR24V lot are a bunch of fooking girls aren't you.. Oooo my clutch is too stiff.. Ooo it rides a little hard..

[Dezzy]

No we just strive for perfection Dan. You should try it
