jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

:rofl: Too funny. Unfortunately all of our M35's are auto, so we cant have such fun :( I think my missus would love the challenge I was able to do something similar though.

just got my new clutch installed and gave the missus a try at driving it, she bunny hopped first, stalled on the change to second, restarted, stalled first. put the hazards and handbrake on (leaving the car in the lane) jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

haahah i can see that happening in my head.. just needs the classis "stop yelling at me, its tooo hard to concentrate with you yelling in my ear"

LOL, you should have said "not with that negative attitude, you're not" then laughed. Shame on her lack of commitment! :D

Hahaha. It sounds like your partners are opposite to my misses. She likes to give the 260RS a bit of a flogging and stir up the odd bogan. I bought her a Mini Cooper S with JCW kit and she complains it's too slow. Hits her favourite corner on the way home and has the traction control light flashing :)

Now we just bought an old Ford GT40 replica as a project car. That should be fun :)

So good when I was borrowing my housemates stag the other day, he told me to park it in the multi-story behind his work and there just happened to be a spare spot with a volvo v70 next to it in the same colour as his stag! Epic trolls, he was sad.

hehehehe, bloody nice car though :D

OK, as requested. It's not in great shape, but it's gonna be an awesome project.

It actually has a 350 Chev. Some people would say this is sacrilege, but who cares.

Needs moar 427c.i :thumbsup:

= awesome project!

just got my stagea last weekend and in the space of less than a week, i saw at least 1 volvo v-series wagon everyday...thought wtf is going on here?

then today went to one of my usual workshop to machine the rear rotors, the guy said to me that he thought it was a volvo...i just grinned and remembered how every other m35 owner has their first 'i thought it's a volvo' moment :D

  • 3 weeks later...

I just bought my Stagea in Melbourne on Friday. Went out to tea that evening and came back to the room to find a letter under the door:

"Mr Marshall,

We believe you are the owner of a White Volvo Registration ***-***.

Please note your headlights have been left on.

Kind Regards,

Reception"

That has to be some sort of record in Stagea-Volvo confusion! In my defence, it was only the inside light, not the headlights :P

had a few moments in the last week...

Had a mate from training giggling telling me it sounded like the starship enterprise on boost more than a volvo...

Had someone ask if it was a hearse the other night too... 5 years after buying it and I still love the attention it gets from randoms. Lol.

some seedy dude in dandenong told me he wanted to rear end my volvo. i drove off as quickly as i could.

:rofl2::whistling:

Classic.

Yep. I the short time I've had my car not one person has guessed its a Nissan. Pretty much all of them thought it was a Volvo. Its actually starting to shit me off a bit!

For some reason my mates missus thought my stag was a kia!!?? WTF?

Did ask him if he was going to slap her or if i should..

LOL, that's almost a justifiable reason to hit a woman! 'Sif Kia... :(

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
