Too bad Mark.

A neighbor of mine in the UK used to have an old Cedric Wagon.

You know you will get a lot more backpackers in a wagon than a sedan :whistling:

Get a Stagea.... Shame the Axis 350S cant be imported. I want one.

Are you still in Melbourne? Shout out if you want those headlight sockets or they will be thrown out.

Na mate dont need them anymore. All sorted.

But i do wanna say a massive thanks to scotty for helping me with the motor swap. It was a massive gamble and with all gambles therei the chance of failure and that whay happened. So the motorswap didnt happen and we kept the car NA.

Scotty worked wonders and the car is amazing, cleaned plenum and intake and heaps of other things.

Big thanks. Staying in room 35 was awesome.

It was also good meeting some of the VIC stag owners and their whips.

So there is not much i can do performance wise so im just going to enjoy it how it is now.

Now wearing a blue (BW5) aero front and soon some new wheels

Pics up soon!

We went through about 20 cans of degreaser/carb cleaner, as well as 4 odd litres of concentrated liquid degreaser. Damn those DD engines are dirty inside. Glad the det's don't have egr recirculation.

Hands were almost eaten away by the degreasers, just a normal day for me. lol.

So i have 2/3 aero on the car. Buying a sedan rear bumper with aero lip on in QX1 - winning!. Problem is it can only go by sea unless i wanna sell butt hole to DHL and let the rape me on price.

Rest will be painted to match along with the mirror bases painted in a glossy piano black finish to match the B-pillars and also the foglight blanks and bumper mesh in the same black.

After the Rays wheels i bought off same will be refurbed.

Ok so the VQ25DET engine swap didn't go as planned. Partly because of my lack of research and comparing cars and their differences.

So attempt number two is in the early stages of thoughts/planning.

I'm keeping this close to my chest.

This will be a long painful road.

Once I have the donor car it's down hill from there which is pretty common. The conversion kit from the states includes custom sump, engine mounts, transmission mounts shifter plate and a single piece tailshaft.

If that's not a clue I don't know what is.

    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
    • Sequential Is fine to drive on the street
