Hey guys.

Im a 100% new to the stagea scene, just picked up a 2001 M35 AR-X (repairable wrightoff) fairly cheap. Currently about to buy a nose chop from a local wrecker, hopefully get it on the road fairly soon,

not sure if i want to go back to a stock bar, maybe some of you guys could suggest some nice aftermarket bars. I have been looking for the sorta bar thats on it now but cant find the same one anywhere :(

Anyways here are a couple of photos.

So someone finally bought the Ebay car! Have you seen it in person yet?

I don't know of any aftermarket bars which line up with the AXIS flares. Others might. Otherwise just get a stock one.

outside looked clean and straight, guy said he was getting alot emails saying that people wanted to buy the car but couldnt find parts anywhere, i rang 1 wrecker and said they had everything for me haha. car is dusty and inside could use a good detail, once i get it home and give it a good clean up ill post some new pictures.

The link appears if you are registered, but you dont need to have any funds in the account. Alternatively you can just plug the details in to http://www.importmonster.com.au/estimate manually

The 2nd one Andy posted would be approx $1500 delivered to Adelaide

you can tell its an ARX due to the interior that never appeared in anything except an ARX :)

The ARX badge on the back is also an indication...:D

It's good that we now get to see what happens to this car since it was the topic of discussion for a while. Please us updated as you progress. Good luck with getting it fixed & back on the road.

Import Monster will be the best place for the bar.

Here is a not perfect second hand one.

This one looks like a PNM35 front bar.

This is an MASA FRP version of the AXIS bar designed to suit an NM35 without the AXIS flares.

whats the shipping normally like on that website if you know ?

thanks

You'll be looking at around $250ish (not including purchase price) to land a front bar, depending on the price of the bar with IM.

That said, they carefully wrap it, and protect all the critical areas with cardboard. I was very pleased with how well they packed mine.

It is.

Since this car needs a new front bar, bonnet, quarter panel, grill and at least one headlight, why not to a PM35 facelift?

Only difference in amount of items is that you'll need a drivers side headlight (which you should be able to grab via Import Monster or Jesse Streeter)

Just a thought whilst you have the opportunity.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
