WTB: M2 conversion manual (Aardvarc document)

[oz_tom]

Hi All,

Does anyone have the m2 swap manual hanging about after completing their conversion?
I'm about to undertake it so would appreciate a steer!
Many thanks

Tom

Have you contacted Dave Varco at Aardvark? Does he no longer offer them?

 

Dave is a great supporter of our cars and makes high quality goods! He has never let me down.

Thanks Paul - Looking for second hand at the moment. Cheers

You're going to have a good time once you find out what timing chain tensioners and guides (essential wear items) cost on an S14.

And if those 2 little orings are overlooked, he won't be a happy camper.

The joys of S14s! Yep, plenty of it's gone NLA too. Even S50 tensioners are on the up...

It'll be cheaper to buy someone's completed car 

 

No, not mine.

Hi Tom!

Lots of super detailed info already on Marshall’s M2 build thread.  @M3M3M3

Hi Tom!

Ray! You better be still tearing it up in that silly white car! You were the one who sowed the seed all those years ago.

This conversion will be done to my first car (the black one) - one of those 'i'll be buried in it' cars. There are only about 3 M2s down under at the moment and one just got torn apart - but there are 3 more being built now (that I know of).

Thanks Jim! I've been having a good explore through the archives and came across Marshall's build. Awesome stuff.

Hopefully i'll be able to track down some info on the RHD market issues - mainly steering / exhaust area space. 

Also, love your superlites! I've just sent a set to @SydneyTii - going to look great.

Oh I remember that car well!! I also had a soft spot for it. John Wesse (spelling?) was the owner if i cast my mind back to the mid 2000s!!? Hope i've got that right... (maybe he's changed board name / handle)
I imagine yours are only just around the corner now mate - post some shots when they're mounted so i can live vicariously...
