i honestly wouldnt though, it would ruin the look of the axis, imo anyway..

it could well ruin it but i think the extra air flow will be worth it................. any other options, maybe some round ones :P HAHA

yeah the grill is bigger but the lower section isnt all that big..........

the yellow section is open for air flow but the intercooler is in the red section so i thought i'd pop in the vents where the black section is for even more airflow...........

Get a bigger intercooler? :P

i went and bought a B&M trans-cooler (70264) this morning and fitted it already :D

ive done it the easiest way possible for now untill i do the intercooler cos i'll probly have to move it then.

just a quick one about tires and what i should be running.............

currently i have 245/40/18's which is the correct size acording to the AXIS broucher that says they come with 225/45/18's so that means i should run a 245/30/20........... according to my TOMTOM this is 10% out at 110 it says im doing 100.

so then in the owners manual it says to run a 225/55/18 which is the size compairable to what the normal M35's run so that means i need a 245/40/20 and then hopefully my speedo will be correct acording to the TOMTOM????????

cheers guys i just dont know which tyre i should be basing it off to get my speedo correct without finding out the hard way with a speeding ticket!!!

245/30/20 Nexen N3000's.............. dont really know how good they are but i'll soon find out i was told they should be better than the federal 595's i had on there but not as soft as a Yoki or a P-zero.

Big thanks to Craig, Andy for putting in the shift kit and also Ian for the advice tonight :worship:

and the trans-cooler is working too :D

makes a difference thats for sure, full throttle shifts are great but the cruising shifts are a bit harsh IMO. :)

    • That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.
    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
