M35 Build Thread

[adambruv]

Ive tallyed up the reciepts and they have come pretty close to what i was hoping, so im pretty happy still have to take it over the pits and get it regoes first. hopefully it passes quiet easy.

[bigkevracer]

Are you keeping it Adam?

[ECR33_RB25DET]

Great work mate!!! That come out awesome!!!!

My wifes previous M35 Axis going back over 13months, was too a repairable write off. Ins paid out and sold it off at Pickles Auctions.

Had identical LHS front damage to yours. Sold for a bit much at the auctions....so I imported my current Axis.

Once again great result. Now you must hold onto it for a while....

[adambruv]

Nah im actually going to sell it once its all finished and regoed. going to import a series 2, 2005 autech, pearl white, sun roof/duel. only because i cant drive turbo's on my ps otheriwse i would keep it. i also LOVE the brown interiors in those autechs!

Just keep it dude I drove it on my p's for god knows how long with no issues, at the end of the day it's a wagon, it's nearing one of the last things cops worry about

[joshm35]

And doesnt it go on power to weight ratio?? Not what engine capacity it is

[Sunkist]

not sure about laws up there. but I'm in vic, and im power hungry as with scott.

if anyone was to get pulled up it wouldve been me on my P's especially in vic. mine was also dropped on its ass with showy wheels.

Series 2 M35 is much nicer than Series 1 M35.

Costs more to get power out of though

That's 'cos the powerz aren't actually hiding in there...

You need to bolt them on.

I'll just leave this here...

[iamhe77]

You miss having a Stagea or that particular Stagea?

That one. F getting into one with stock power lol

[PN-Mad]

cosworth brings the minus powers in NA form. FI its the goods apparently.

dont we all need dollars to make things "better"? lol.

I was surprised how economical my conversion was to be honest. As with anything, if you do your research and shop around, do work yourself, and have good contacts - you'll get it done lots cheaper and without the BS that goes with just handing over a car and saying "Do X to it"

I like. What sort of grill is that? looks interesting.

[scotty nm35]

Whale shark grille.

They are around $100 unpainted on import monster I think.

[Sunkist]

yeh. about $100 from IM +ship they are gel coated white, so i just took to it with a spray can.

I think this grille, and craigs are the best after market ones around. i scored mine off jethro for installing his Trans cooler lol

[bigkevracer]

I've just ordered a similar one. They were ~$100 unpainted, or ~$150 painted (you just give them your paint code).

Were you familiar with the grill that was on Iain's car?

That is a damn good looking grill IMO and can be found on Yahoo.
