Run-It-Hard

Cheers dudes! Managed to get them fitted last night, man what a mission it was! but they are in there now, and that's what counts

Oh yeah, will the Tanabe brace bolt up to an R32 GTR box? Is this the same one Mike is selling?

PM sent!

Hey guys, My big order from Japan just arrived! So I'll be looking to get most parts on the car tonight. Quick question though, how do I go about the rear tail lights? the corners look rather straight forward but the centre piece are interesting. Is there any way to completely remove the carpet on the rear hatch to access the tail lights? or do I just have to bend it up and work with the room given? Thanks guys! Adam.

Sounds about right haha. Another one from me today, this makes my pants move!

S.W.A.T is an owners club, I forget what it stands for though.

FYI guys, it looks to be a Stage21 front lip GLWS!

Sold!

That's no good Ian! I hope you get it sorted without much fuss.

This month should be pretty big, I've got quite a bit of shit on order (seats, tie rods, cosmetics, engine parts etc) coming from Japan ... which has just left so yeah I'll be piecing the car up with the new parts. After that, the next big thing will be ...

and the boat looks like this at the moment... Also taken it to a few driving sports events ... can't wait to get back out on the peanut/EC though ... skidpan is getting boring! http://vimeo.com/23359592

So, test fitted the wheels and got to work

So, why a Stagea for a drift hack? I like to be different, and I don't want to be picked up by the po-po everytime I drive it ... like my last car, a Mazda MX-5. I owned this beast for 6 years, at the begining of it all, it was very uncommon to see these things aggressively modified (low offset, wide wheels, low to the ground etc). Anyway, I set it up for drift, and it was quite a good drift car, but a back condition has led me to part it out, and I'm thinking for the future a little here too. The MX-5 would become a burden when it was time to have a family, and I was looking at another 10-15k for some more power out of it (which was the point i was getting to). So I decided enough was enough and went for the complete opposite of what the MX-5 was. So there you have it!

at 10am we were out the door and ready to head back to Sydney. Yuan and I decided that we'll split the driving up every 2 hours. Yuan was the first driver out of Melbourne, I'm glad I wasn't driving ... it's confusing as hell! in some spots you have to share the road with these damn things. half an hour later, and we were just getting out of the CBD ... We all had a long day ahead of us. So it was time for a fuel stop and some breakfast. Yuan was still keen to drive some more, so off we went. This picture was taken at about 4pm and 400km's from home. The Stagea turned into a insect destroyer! Here's some windmills I snapped, on the outskirts of Yass, they were so peacefull to watch. It was time for dinner and our final stop before we were back in Sydney, and I noticed the turnoff to see the Big Merino ... I haven't seen it in it's new location before, and Julie has never seen it. Here I am with the Stagea at Cabramatta Hungry Jacks cleaning off all shit off the 900km drive. The Stagea ran flawlessly, and with four people, a set of wheels/tyres, one suitcase and three bags everyone was very comfortable. It was an eventful weekend, we travelled over 2000km's and probably had upto ten hours sleep during the whole of it (Joe only had six). Actually come to think of it Julie and Yuan had like a million naps! haha. So there you have it, our epic journey to pick up, my perfect Stagea.

Long story short, I've lost my rights to drive in Victoria for 6 months and was fined. I'm very lucky in a way that's for sure! Ok, so why were we heading to Geelong? to pick these beasts up of course! Now it was time to head back to Melbourne, they were some nice twisty roads along the way. Here we are on the outskirts of the city. This is where things started to get conjested and crowded. I also had a problem arise with my newly aquired Stagea too. After driving around in this confusing place for a while we managed to find our hotel for the night. I think we checked in at about 6pm! We were all pretty knackered and chilled out for a bit before deciding what to do next. Yuan was keen on getting take out and bringing it back to the hotel, but Julie and I wanted to check out Ligon street. Apparently a lot of the restruants are very competitive and offer freebies if you eat there. We all started walking down to Ligon street and was stopped in our tracks as the restruant owner started haggling with us ... it was true! As usual Yuan ended up finishing his food first, and Jo almost finished all of his! Ok, so we then took the hire car back to the airport and went out to Crown casino to try our luck. Yuan ended up coming out ontop whereas the rest of us didn't. Anyway, after a long ass day we headed back to Quest hotel and got ourselves some shut eye for another big day just around the corner.
