M52 b30 stroker rebuild back on the road

[DanThe]

Bummer mate. You'll appreciate the extra zing of the M52 though

i owe you at least one ass kicking at york next year

If I'm having to run the wife's Golf then you'll kick my arse.

If the drag car is done, then no chance mate, although I'll probably be killed first time out in it

Best get a E46 compact bought and a 330i donk on the side quick then

[craggsyE30]

haha is that by anychance the thing behind the chrome (storage) car lol

[DanThe]

[magpie]

i've just seen what craig has spent on his


fook that!

one of these ricer srdet20 turbo things go well

[magpie]

after 2 months of waiting for the right car to come up for sale near me i have just bought mysel a cracking e dirty six



it's had the block recall done with proof in the service history below .






98k miles with full service history up to 85k then updated with other garages to 95k miles and fitted to slush box so this will no doubt be a rice pudding skin puller when mated to the 318is box i bought from zaust earlier ready for when i got a donor car which i wanted to be a low mileage auto for obvious reasons ..

i'll be using all the parts i can from the m50 conversion so this shouldn't be to painful on the deep tank lol.

driving around in this auto executive chariot was fun while it lasted but all good things must come to an end sometime

[Rav335uk]

Oh dear.

[E30BeemerLad]

[magpie]

well here we are in march and i'm itching to get this done but it won't happen today



more fookin SNOW!

[magpie]

mot day tomorrow 10.30am so i've been checking it over and finally sorted the h/brake out and swapped out the new standard rear discs for as new Black Diamond drilled and grooved efforts got some for the front but not fitted them yet .



well all went well until i tilted the drivers seat forward and it wouldn't lock back into position..FFS, so i've been running around swapping seats with the 323i while my tea went cold then i had to swap the friggin seat belt clasp so glad i checked that mofo !


what happened to spring !!

[leeparkes]

Good luck for tomorrow, not that it'l need it.

Is it 2.8 now?

[magpie]

Is it 2.8 now?

no not yet Lee,i'm taking it to york 0n the 1st of april to see what the alpina none vanos cams will do then it's m52 time straight after,i've got all the bits now for that

[BATTS91]

you have alpina cams in that badboy Mick ? Dans old ones? be interesting to see what thats like compare to m52 .

[magpie]

yeah they are Dan's old ones ,will be for sale soon as sadly no good for the m52

[BATTS91]

well an honest opinion between m50 with cams and m52 with inlet would be good . im sure Dan will turn up with his opinion soon.

I have been wanting to switch over to m52 for a while tho .somehow it does make sense lol but for the abuse it will get and possibly get quite hot on the track drifting may sway me to keep m50

[magpie]

well after running around trying to get a seat sorted out for the mot yesterday i came downstairs this morning and my leather seat has locked into position and i now have a nasty dogtooth blue comfort seat in my car with one of those very fluffy 80's style seat covers on in grey .

no excuses not to crack on with the leather feed/conditioner i've had sitting here since end of the summer last year .

[magpie]

passed the mot no problem ,the mot station is half an hour away so it took an hour and a half to get home



Tax up for April 1st and off to York

[scott180gtb]

Nice work Mick

Can you tax the car for a start date in April in March?

I'm hoping to tax the sport at the end of the month pending the mot. How do you tackle the taxing issue?

[magpie]

Big thanks to the man we call Dan for that.
