Those damn heater switches are so easy to flick on it's not funny. I've accientally triggered them on hot days and when i realised they were on, my ass was already on fire. I had to get out of the car to cool them down. lol

Yea ive done that more than one occasion. I find my self niow making sure that they are no on. lol

Mine developed turbo issues and it can be expensive to fix. Other than that the M35 is a very nice car :laugh:

Sorry for being lazy here Dan, but did you have the stock exhaust when your turbo problems arose?

No they came after I removed the stock exhaust.

I guess boost increased and the turbo didnt like it not to mention that there was also a bolt on the side of the core which holds the bearing pack in place that stops longitudinal movement. This came loose and damaged the seals and it started to smoke, got rid of it and put in a GT3071R.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
