bolts look dressy mate

did you have fun getting the parcel shelf out ?

drop by next weekend and see if your interested in a mint steering wheel at a modest price

tempting you.... :whistling:.

a rear wiper delete plug or place cap over wiper nut (or spray black till your ready)

Getting the parcel shelf out wasn't that bad. But the drivers side lock that holds the rear seat in was a bitch. I was very happy with how clean it was under the seats. I didn't have to do much.

Wanting to go out and put more parts on currently but it's -4 outside and well.... It's warm in here. Will wait for the sun to peak out properly.

  • 2 weeks later...

Didn't do much on the weekend due to the weather being crap.

Pulled the washer bottle and radiator overflow out for painting (again but with good paint) and will be adding a few minor details to those, lets pray the weather is nice enough to paint this weekend.

Polished the radiator and the catchcan. Ordered a couple more braided lines. Attempted to pull the spoiler off but it does not want to move. Will have to be more careful when i have more time.

And cleaned the headlights.

Re did all my vacuum lines with new aeroflow ones, and painted the symbol on the lid of my washer bottle red. Makes it look heaps better.

And polished and cleaned most of the car including doing a complete interior clean.

Also ordered more OEM parts. Got so much crap coming i forgot what i ordered :\

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
