Run-It-Hard

Cool, well hopefully I remember and I'll be down. I could think of the MX-5's that will be down there too haha, would be good to catch up with them. Automatic is starting to shit me, really want my mate to finish paying me for the MX-5, take it off my hands and let me get on with a manual conversion.

FYI Guys, I can get timing belt kits and water pumps for those interested. All tensioners are NTN, seals are NOK and belts are gates (Japanease/American quality) Our listings show that all the RB belts are the same, the tensioners vary from the 26 though. Water pump is the same deal, can share from 20 to 25.

Can I please get my name changed to Run-It-Hard Thanks!

Oh, Elvis is down eh? I might just come check this out

Looks like it is each piece huh, hmm.

ooohhh, I've been meaning to get out there in the 5! Would be a fun day, hopefully I have the manual in before then. Spewing I missed the latest Stagea meet too how often do you guys hang? It would be nice to meet some Stagea owners.

Those are pretty sick too! We'll see what happens aye. I've got some plans for the body, still kinda tossing up whether to get another kit or not, but I have other priorities at the moment ... like a stick shift!

I'd rock them, but shit they aren't cheap! I was wondering what kind of wide body/flares there were for these things. I'll end up fixing the "duckbills" soon enough, I'll be pumping the guard out evenly so they look purdy. Good find Mike

That's true, I was happy to comprimise these sort of things for the Stagea I really wanted though. Like I said, I will be changing quite a lot of things, oh and I'm sure the stock clutch in an RS4S wouldn't like the abuse I'd give it on the track some ninja took this photo ... dunno when though =/

Yeah the S2 is a better car out of the box, but the way I see it (as do you) is that it's much more fun building a car then buying it as is. I'm just happy that I found a great nick, low km S1 DAYZ eddition ... all the overs I looked at had double the km's. I even drove a few S2's and they were quite nice indeed, could feel the power difference but still, I'm happy with my choice

Cheers for that, I love how you guys are so moderate on here I prefer the front end on the S1, funnily enough the S2's are starting to grow on me. Plus I got this one purdy cheap, with only 67k on the clock

They are worth double the price then what I payed for my RS4 (which was out of my price range), and I prefer building cars rather then buying something to a similar spec ... that just takes the fun out of it. + I'd feel bad putting an RS260 into a tyre wall or another car or something. Oh yeah, If that's you're stagea ... it's nice! any idea what cage you have? I've only found Satio to make cages for the C34.

just plain jane auto. It's pretty rubbish, I can't wait to put a manual in it!

Actually, last run I learnt from my mistakes and shifted too early lol. meh.

I managed to stall it up on the last run to about 2500rpm, which got me the 16.1. All the other times I stuffed up the staging and before I knew it, the tree lit up and it was time to go Oh I forgot to mention it hit limiter in all runs too I reckon it would get into the 15's quite easily.

That's hot! makes mine look like poo I think I need a more aggressive kit

Spotted a white RS4S on Gipps rd Smithfield around 2:30pm today.

Yeah like I said, I'm not good at drag racing Sucks though, cause when I started to get used to everything it was time to pack up and leave, lawl I'll stick to doing skids ... much more fun

Cheers jetwreck! I could of sworn I read a thread somewhere where someone got 15.3 with AWD and 15.7 in RWD or something I can't find it though. But to think about it though, a 1800kg car running a mere 5spi before 4500rpm I don't think it's too bad. Gauges are getting put in today! sweet

Without a doubt! I'm not the best at drag racing but, it's a good base for me, cause when I go back, I'll be driving it down the quater again.

Some videos of skids and some vids of drags yo http://vimeo.com/22242446 http://vimeo.com/22377707

If I had an S2 this would already be off you're hands! GLWS!

Took the boat down the WSID last night to see what I can get out of it in stock trim. managed to squeeze in four runs: 16.3 16.5 16.5 16.1 Best was 16.1, which was my last run, I reckon if I had a few more runs I could of got it into the 15 second mark but I'm not too fussed. It's a good base to work off when I've modifyed the engine/box a little On another note, the gauges I ordered in on monday have arrived today! gotta love EMS

this car is PHAT! any other updates ?

hey guys, Bought a few of these seats about a month or so ago, but the missus has decided that she no longer wants to rock these seats. They are brand new, still in their plastic. Looking for $220 each or $400 for the pair. Located in the liverpool region will ship at buyers expense.
