What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[Reaperblitz]

Gives more accurate toe adjustment rather than slotting the subframe.

Thought this was pretty cool if you want to keep the separate spring and shock.

Yup that one works out much better. Maintaining the oem points but allowing adjustability.

To compare which works better (coil over vs oem) the next is to find what the oem spring sits below.. chassis support rail etc

Exhaust done and dusted.

Amazing job. Really happy with how it turned out. Sits much more snug against the car which was what i was really hoping for

Sounds great. Not loud or droney and not much cabin noise (we did do a good job with insulation when i swapped the centre console when the manual was added).

On too the next job!!!

This is nice man!

Do you have a build thread?

[Beregron]

No i don't mate.

There is a build thread just for the manual conversion on R & D Mechanicals website.

^Nice job! Looks awesome! Was it an exhaust shop or the same place that did your manual conversion?

[Bmx537]

Put my m35 on a dyno today.

165awkw with a dump pipe back 3"exhaust.

Pretty happy with those numbers i think!

Going to go back after getting Scotty's dump pipe and see what kind of difference it actually makes. Everyone say's it makes a big difference, so we'll find out!

Its the bloke who owns the shed next to the place that did my manual conversion. He does custom fabrication.

[Ben C34]

Way too clean for an exhaust shop in sa!

oh FFS, i'd finally settled on an MCA suspension because I couldn't replicate stock height with the BC's and then you all go and confuse the issue with your 'opinions' and stuff. WTF is this, a forum?

So in summary, going stock and replacing my shocks with OEM shocks will cost like 1200 (front and back) so they're out, BC's are out because they're too low at the back, MCA's are out because they're potentially unsafe and I need to have the car registered in VIC so it's going through the pits.

there's gotta be an easier way...

[Trex]

Turned out alright.

Are all the shocks dodgy? If not then just replace the unroadworthy ones with "good" second hand ones and then put the MCAs on after you get roadworthy.

They sell spring platforms or spacers to raise the springs for bCs don't they?

I think it's just having everyone's best interests at heart. Can always resell..
