This Series2 is pretty cheap I thought!! Almost consider selling my S1 and buying it for the better motor! Needs another 1K spent on vin/reg/wof.

Non turbo...

Haha yeah whoops, thought it was from RS-4 title, but didn't look it in pics. How could you tell for sure? ....apart from maybe price.. :-\

Engine covers are a dead give away, they are different between turbo and non-turbo. Also intake piping is straight from the airbox, not enough pipes there.

Cheers

well that probably explains a lot...

it DOES say turbo on the j-spec link though... and i didnt think you could import the non-turbos, as they didnt meet performance / power/weight criteria or something like that?

was drooling over my baby last nite looking at all the pics and noticed what apear to be 2 ariels at the back on the roof next to the racks.has anyone seen theese type of thing before??? hence it may have a usless jap tv lol

They are still on my car!!! I like em and wont take em off. Looks weird, looks cool, looks STAGEA

They are TV/Sat Nav Rabbit ears antenna. My S1has the remnants of the sticky shit from the D/S tape. Still dont know how to get it off without buggering the duco.

Also I guess it is why my CD dont work. Because some FW took out the Sat Nav and stuck in a stocker Head Unit.

Its my next job to fix.

Rome was not built in a day.

directed at 66yo stagea.

have you tried eucalyptus oil to get rid of the sticky stuff or even BIG KEV'S goo remover? i have found either of these to get rid of most things gooey!!

stereo is sorted for my new baby ive picked the new rims out just gotta wait for her to get here so they can fit one up to make sure it fits ok.i dont wanna get em and not fit hey.

lol, its amazing how much money you can spend doing up a car, without even seeing the car with your own eyes.

oh my god im an ebay junky lol just got the stagea owners manual

I was gonna put in bids on those items, but considering I have no funds to allocate towards them, I wisely decided against it.

mike i hope for your sake it doesnt take as looooooooooooooong as mine :D im still waiting on mine and its been nearly 12 weeks....

hehehehe and i havent stopped counting the days yet, but getting close :P

    • I got a Fenix for my LS1 VZ Commo last yr and it was a perfect fit and I liked the quality of it.
    • Can you help!   Can you tell me a few places you got your Flex Fuel Kits installed in Sydney The only one I know of is Tunehouse. Thanks in advance!!!  
    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly.
