Went for a little burn up in the hills yesterday

Wagon usually gets some attention up in the car parks stands out from the usual hilux or bike rack equipped family car

So i've had a chance to drive the M35 for a few days since getting it back from tuning.

My main observations it that i'm already driving a lot heavier footed when i want the car to come on boost due to the lagg but i'm really enjoying it. The car sounds amazing as it hits boost with the increased air flow however i really need to do something about the exhaust. 3 inch stainless with front / dump and Apixi N1 cannon is simply way too loud for me. Not sure what i'll do but a bit of forum trolling will hopefully find an answer.

Overall i'm very happy. Big thanks for those that helped along the way.

All that's left once i sort the exhaust is doing something about the front bumper (this stocky one with the parking aid has to go).

I find my varex is too loud for me at times as well even with an xforce resonator so im looking at switching to a HKS silent hi power muffler to try and get the system quieter. It will eliminate the lower pressure in cabin sounds. I also find that the exhaust can have different db notes from bearable to unbearable at times.

Stopped for impromptu photoshoot in my travels today...

Had a minor o-ring issue with the access to the fuel tank and the M35 was leaking fuel after a filled the tank up but all is fixed and it's perfect once again.

I got the muffler replaced today with something a little more appropriate sound-wise. Still 3 inch straight through but more factory looking. Much quieter than the Apexi N1 and the drone is much more tolerable

Cool man what diameters did you use

Cool man what diameters did you use

60mm for the park 70mm for the indicator and 165 for the main lights if i was to do it again i would use a yellow/white 2 colour ring for the indicator signal led (has 2 positive wires and one negative) so it it will change colour depending on what cable you put power on, so it would flash yellow with the turn signal. other than that you probs just need a dremel to cut into the the plastic silver surround inside the headlight. headlights come apart just like normal. oven,heat gun or blow torch to warm up the silicone like rubber stuff then pull apart.Also depending on what look you're after you can get different types of leds just make sure its a cob led ring if u want a more solid ring of light!

Got the steering rack rebuilt and and new OEM tie rod ends. Wasn't cheap but she feels so much nicer.

My shift selector now lights up. Not that this was a major issue but hey, I didn't break anything replacing that bulb so that's a good start
