Wow! No wonder a guys head nearly twisted off his shoulders as he over took me trying to work out what the hell I was driving, no good looking at the front of the car mate there's no Volvo badge there...

haha rofl, thats sooo true, people are dumb founded when they look at mine and hear this rumble and wonder what the f**k is that. took it to the local gearbox shop and he says "thats a bloody loud volvo" haha, i told him it aint a volvo and he is like "u r wasting your time with exhuast and stuff thats y its so loud", i didnt mention it was a gtr engine and that so he thinks its a volvo 4 banger with a muffler.

bloody old bugger ;)

id love to take it back to him when its properly tuned and take him for a run in it and show him his vz ss ute is pretty slow :D

most of the stageas that have been imported are still sitting in car yards around the country. The majority are in QLD from what the compliancers have told me.

Mine looked worse after 9hours of night driving up from Brissie to Rocky!

Might be the mountain air, I always copped a lot of bugs running up and down where Hugh lives, esp coming down or going up the goat track :D

I know it is a sacrilige. My Stagea does not have a double unicorn on her grille. She is suffering an identity crisis, hence the slanted black and chrome.

I am worried that if she hears about the latest Audi RS 4 she might end up with four silver rings on her grille also.

The mind boggles.

i havent seen one within 1 1/2 hours of my home... love it. Cos know one else has either. everytime i take it out but more and more people know what it is.

cant beat a lil bit of exclusivity... worth the price paid.

how bout this roll call thread?

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
