I got the air con of the 25G regassed today. The local aircon man is also a Volvo afficondrio. Turns up in his "White Knight" Volvomobile waggon.

Then looks at the front of my RS4 and says "That is a much better looking front than a Volvo" Too true.

at my surf club Friday night I come out to find these people crawling all around my car, looking at the front, looking in the windows, looking under etc. When they saw it was my car they said "What kind of Toyota is this?" :P

^^^ Lol.

Today at the CAMS come and try day - motorkhana session with my "coach"

"Now Volvos have a pretty good turning circle don't they, my friend used to have one?"

Ummmmmm....lol.

Just today, an m35 pulled on to the freeway and cruised next to us for a bit, my sister did a tripple take on it and just as it cruised past us, she says "hmmm, that's a cool Nissan wagon, sorta like yours yeah"? I reply with a smile "yeah it is, It's the newer model stagea" thinking to myself that was a good pickup by her as she's no car nut by any means, and she DIDN'T call it a Volvo!

Low an behold, the next thing to come out of her mouth......"geez it kinda looks like a Volvo though".

I facepalmed...

^^ Ha, my missus sends me texts when she spots an m35.

The CEO from where I work came out the other day and saw me taking stuff out from the car and asked if it was an 'Odyssey'.... I explained that it's an import. All I could I have said.

Filling up at my local servo the other day, guy was reading the badge at the rear of my M35 as he was walking past.... "Nice stag-ia" he said to me (thinking he pronounced it right) :no:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
