yeah i will give it some WD love tomorrow, then finish bleeding the brakes and i can drive it again :happy:

booked in for an epic expensive wheel alignment on thursday (getting the rear control arms bent to adjust camber)

Who is doing it? I'm happy with my alignment.. But not. Would like to get it checked by a 2nd party.

Lets share a fetus.

i thought tristan and you were sharing a fetus already? or did you not plant your seed deep down enough?

lol so was I. but I was too busy postwhoring on misfits to register an on SAU lol.

You know your old school when you know what misfits was,

lerl @ all the newbie plebs in here

Well 3 corners are down, one to do in the morning and then just got to replace my rear cross member bushes and its ready to get an alignment :happy:

All went relatively smoothly apart from getting the front upper link arms to line up with the holes properly lol. Rear shock was a prick to get off but got there in the end.

Looks much better now although I think the rear could still come down 10mm. We'll see how it looks once the other side has been done and its had time to settle :mad:

Pics are coming tomorrow :D

Did you put a coke can at the bottom?

y u want to sell it josh?

I'll do you a straight swap for the XF :happy:

I only bought it for the wheels, then had a soft spot for it as it went pretty well with the turbo, but alas like all my cars I grew tired of it. TBH, I find slow (In comparison to my 490rwhp R32) and I want something else that’s more track ready, or something that could be far more easier

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
