I was wondering if anyone in SA would be able to show me there stagea or know of any dealer in adelaide that has them?

Just lately i've realised that the R34 really is pointless as there is nowhere to drive. All it really does is go to work and back. And the closest road with any corners is about 50 km away.

So i am seriously considering getting rid of the r34 and going to a series 2 stagea. Mostly with the missus now it will be useful for surfing. Being able to carry stuff and what not.

So give me a hollier if you can help out or know of anyone that can.

Some of you know me a bit as i'm from victor harbor.

Thanks

It's silver 5 speed manual, 57xxx k's on it now. Got it at 41xxx.

Just got new tyres on saturday. Lovely car just don't think it's what i need or want anymore.

Is it 4door or 2door?

Mt brother is interested in buying a 4door, dependant on price.

nah not braggin at all mate - fact is the Stagea's are awesome cars. I reckon I'll never have a problem with authorities and mine. If I had 40k spare for a second car (less sale of current 10k 2nd car) Id grab our second Stagea in a flash (RS260 Autech of course)............. use the auto RS4 for weekday useage and the RS260 for weekends.

as it is, my RS4 has 160awkw at the moment, fully sorted, and Im very happy with that, what an awesome car, but it'll have 200awkw hopefully within the next year (putting my last 4k onto it for brakes & turbo&tune & autowork, and that'll be the end of the mods).

mate - would love to see your RS260 sometime.

I havent had my 260 dynoed yet but am hoping to get the chance soon as ive already upgraded the clutch and have fitted high flow manifolds, dump pipes and the rest of the system to go with it, so without touching anything else the boost has jumped from 7 to 14psi and has given a noticable increase. Next on the list is turbo upgrades, not sure which way to go yet as the car is my daily driver, but ive been told that a set of N1 turbos that will bolt straight on have the ability to push the power to 300 at the wheels, so thats something im looking into, as a daily i dont think id want any more than that. My 32 has 220rwkw and thats enough of a handful to drive everyday, so i think 300 at all 4 should prove fun enough! If i feel the need to go stupidly fast ill jump on the Suzuki GSXR1000 i just bought, im still running it in and cant take it over 7k revs, but for now im not worried bout going over that cos its fast enough upto 7k let alone hitting power band! lol!

Thanks Madaz, they are some fun toys thats for sure!

As far as the running in im going by what the manufacturer has told me, i no from previous rebuilds on cars that to let them work is good as long as there not labouring too hard, but apparently thats not the case with a bike from what the service guys told me, but its something ill definitely look into as i dont want to end up with any problems after how much ive spent on it! :D

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
