hey wildcat congratulations on the new arrival, and mr gts-t as well :P

mines running sweet at the moment so im up for a cruise when ya all want to. i took it on a toyota cruise and got a few looks when they heard it rumbling in and the twin plate clutch rattle, they new it wasnt a stocky :P

hoping for the power tune in the next week or two depending on how busy the tuner is when i ring them early this week.

then its all go and hopefully no more dramas :P

the 4000rpm rev limit makes it not soo fast but it still sounds like a beast :D

hey brett my mate spotted a black stagea at currambine shops the other day (not sure which day exactly) and he said it looked mad as in black :P

im bettin it was you? my house is literally 20 secs from currambine shops too :D

damn i missed it, and damn i want a black one :D

^^^ you can come along as long as you behave yourself with that lead foot of yours :D

I only put my foot down that time cause I wanted to make sure the gauge measureing the front torque was wroking..... :D

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
