I was a bit uncertain about the Wine Red colour, but after a while it grew on me.

It's just been washed and waxed and it's looking pretty shiny, only depressing thing is the nice long key scratch along the driver's door that some inconsiderate person done a week ago :O

I'll get it into XCM (Xclusive Colours Modifications) and have the door resprayed in the next few weeks.

Once that is out of the way it will be into Seven Hills Detailing Centre for a full inside and out detail.

[[d a n n y]] - are you located in Sydney or the surrounding area? If so you'll have to come to the Thursday night cruise so we can check it out :D

If anyone know's of a highly recommended Auto Upholstery let me know, I want to get the M35 interior straightened out and in a few minor things glued in place etc.

That's pretty local to both Stephen (Bis-e Bee) and I, Danny, so we should meet up for that Thursday night cruise and head up together...

Stephen, I've got a friend of a friend who I'm going to go and see soon to get some interior work done on my car - he doesn't have a business or work for anyone at the moment, but he takes pride in his work so I'll ask him if I can pass his details on to you. He's local too, which helps! I've already spoken to him a few times, it's just a matter of getting the time to go and actually consult with him to see what he can offer...

Understood Danny, I had mine out on a cruise first day I got it lolz.

You are more than welcome to join us whenever you feel like it, there is always a few Stagea's.

Spotted Nick in the Jolly Green Giant :( and Ian in the pocket sized Fiat.

Probably could have saved some fuel and parked the Fiat in the back of Nick's stag, that's car pooling for ya!

Seen a Red S1 yesterday turning down the old coast road, had "staged" on the number plate.

Then seen a white one heading down south towards busso.

2 stags in 2days pretty rare for the bogan town i live in.

Spotted a darkish Silver WC34 at 6.30pm this evening at the intersection of Vardy's & Sunnyholt Roads, Blacktown (Kings Park).

Didn't get a good view of the front end so I'm not sure if it was an S1 or S2, but it looked pretty neat and tidy...... so did the female occupants :cool:

... hopefully they are not on this forum lol

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
