Ok so for the time being lets just talk about what dates could work.

My schedule is looking fairly free at the moment, but like every Christmas season that could change very quickly.

Would earlier in December work better than later? 10th of December maybe?

Also, whereabouts are most people located? How far is everyone keen to drive and what sort of roads? Got a few ideas up my sleeve but keen to see what others suggest.

I'm out north.

I prefer twisties, but don't mind a mix.

At this stage any time in December works, but earlier is probably better than later, because the later you leave it the more likely something is going to pop up.

If you're going to organise the cruise does that mean you might actually turn up? :nyaanyaa:

Bahaha that's the plan Ryan!

Jase, given the weather this time of year is more and more reliable, I was thinking about finishing up at Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens. I know there are a lot of families with Stageas so I figure if people want to pack a lunch and hang out they can, while others could head across to the Crafers Hotel.

Was having a think today about a potential route that would have us cruising 2/3 of the time with a few twisties around the place to keep it interesting. Bit tricky since I haven't been on a damn Stagea cruise yet and don't know what you guys all like.

I'll be up for this although the twistier the better IMO :thumbsup:

And a pub meal sounds like a good idea too

And I should be able to bring a few sub enclosures along too as i should have the molds done by then

Hardtuned Xmas Cruise? Saw that. Got Copbait written all over it...

Pub meal and picnic both sound ok with me. I'm sure theres a local chicken shop or something where we can get some food.

Bahahah yeah not a chance in hell I'd take any car I own near that cruise.

So maybe the weekend of the 10th/11th?

Peter, where are you C34 lads mounting your subs? I want one for my M35 but got no idea where to hide the damn thing. Need a custom enclosure!

Hey, anyone willing to loan me the back of their M35 can have a box for material costs alone, which would be approx $100. I would need you to leave the car with me for about 4-5 hours each day for 2 days, then it would take about 10 minutes for a final fitting.

The enclosure would be ready approx a week later as i need time to produce a mold from this plug, this is approx time for an enclosure similar to mine

This would be the first off to make a mold. After that the every box c34 or m35 will be approx $200 thereafter

At the moment i do have intentions of producing both left and right enclosures for the C34, But for the time being the passenger side is the first to be molded depending on demand i may make one for the drivers side

I'll be posting some updated pics of the enclosure and amp rack in my thread, any design ideas for a m35 install would greatly be appreciated

If you need to ask any Q's please direct them to my thread or via PM so i can keep track of them

done.....I emailed that pic of your car, will email my phone number aswell..... I'd say it would have to be on the drivers side as the tv tuner etc is on the passenger side, and it would be a lot easier on the right (then you wouldn't have to relocate the tuner etc) <BR><BR>edit: actually all the atessa pump resivoir etc is on the right side......

We've already gone fairly off topic so I'll just continue the conversation here - this probably won't work with a cargo net. >_<

How about a spare wheel sub enclosure? (Like so: http://www.hyperaustralia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4687) Too much vibration from the plastic on top?

Keen for another cruise and the 10th or the 17th would be great

i will also be keeping an eye on the Sub Enclosure for the M35 (needs a few other things first)

i saw the work on Peter's own car and the quality was excellent it looked almost factory fitted!!!

To take this back on topic..

The people who actually TURNED UP to the cruise on Sunday talked about this in the motor museum car park Jase! :nyaanyaa:

And yes, Pete can do it. I'm not sure if I want one like that, because I think I'd loose that plastic tray where I store heaps of little, loose crap.

So do we need a poll or are we looking at the 10th?

More off topic

Sorry I thought that the enclosure would petrude past the original trim on the side???

Also ryan are you talking about the little tray on the side? not the big spare wheel well one yeah?

I should have had a look at petes on sunday

I'm talking about the tray under the main floor, on top of the spare wheel well. I have heaps of crap on that. Have to compromise on something if I want a sub though :(

Pete hasn't done an M35 one yet so I'm sure he can make it however you need, most M35 owners will want something fairly practical I think?

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA

      The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
