Rav's Chromie, Bodywork time

Post Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:00 pm

You might find you will need to chop that to work Rav, or unbolt the strut and drop it on a jack to get the roller low enough.

ET4 here

Post Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:05 pm

Did you use the same one Dan, as this can be dropped further down.

Is that ET4 on the Dirty track slaaaaaaag??

Post Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:13 pm

When you collecting this carpet? It's in my way

Post Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:22 pm

What, the one out of the Sport??

Tomorrow if oyu're around, if it's not raining.

Post Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:26 pm

Fook off... The sport one is way more than what you would part with

Post Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:29 pm

It looks to be the same one, with the roller fully in it was still to high in the arch, so I chopped a piece out of the box section and welded the nut back in. Same problem on E36's too.
It is indeed, hence no tyre tread

That fooking leather was expensive too

Nuts!!!!
I'll have a gander, may just drop the rear suspension down, easier.

How low are you going with your chromie Rav? You Tech1-ing it too?

Post Sat Nov 24, 2012 8:17 pm

Nope, not Tech 1'ing it, only rear boot spoiler and Jimmy hill front lip, and SE skirts.

Not too low either, i'm going to sell my KW set up, and go for some B12''s as I have 17" Hartges going on.

Post Sat Nov 24, 2012 8:29 pm

Ahh you sly fox, thats why you won't sell me those SE skirts you have.!

Post Sat Nov 24, 2012 8:36 pm

LOL, no, had another set.
"HAD"

Post Sat Nov 24, 2012 8:59 pm

Your cylinder head seems to have dissolved into a pile on the floor Rav

Post Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:03 pm

It's not an m50/2 head Dan,

this is an M30 HEAD!

Post Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:23 pm

Is that a new type of Inlet Manifold?

Post Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:24 pm

Eh??

Post Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:25 pm

Looks like adapter plates for itb's

Post Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:26 pm

Looks like the Inlet side of the head

It is Phil, it's as above, the adaptors for the ITB's

Post Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:30 pm

Very nice Rav.

Post Fri Nov 30, 2012 11:11 pm

Thanks Phil

Post Sat Dec 01, 2012 11:38 am

Looks like you took a bit of material off those adapters to flow them Rav. I'd of thought they'd come pretty much ready as they are made for that engine specifically..

Post Sat Dec 01, 2012 12:31 pm

No,
the head is matched to the Adaptor plates,
as those are the same shape as the ITB chambers.

Post Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:05 pm

And a few more,
That'll be it till next week when I get the head back.
Then i'll try the Stainless Steel 6 branch and see what needs to be done to make it fit.

Post Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:30 pm

matched perfectly, lovely job

Post Mon Dec 03, 2012 4:06 pm

Looks like ive missed loads, cracking updates Rav!

Post Tue Dec 04, 2012 7:37 pm

Yep, you've been missing a bit Lee

Post Tue Dec 04, 2012 8:41 pm

Ive always had something missing.

Not much of an update, but cleaned up the inlet ports after getting the head back from Byron, and then test fitted the ITB's
