It's only posted an 11.8 as I always do it with full trim (including stereo), so i'm pulling over 2 tonnes down the strip.

It has no traction in first.

Or second.

And when the track cools, sometimes not in third.

Cross the finish doing 220 which should be good for a 10 second pass. I just need different wheels to capacitate slicks, which I refuse to do as it is a waste of money.

how many gearboxes have u gone through? i broke mine first pass with 522hp (has made 605hp before, which would probably be about 700hp on a hub type dyno, going by the local dynos anyway) and threw in a dogbox and ran a 11.3 @ 125mph. I highly doubt 220kmh at end of strip, the drag calculator which is pretty damn accurate reckons u would need 650rwkw to run that speed and thats good for 9's. 2 tonne and 500kw is around 125mph.

I'll see if I still have a slip lying around.

According to the drag calculator:

Weight 2000kg, time = 11.8 means I need 530.4HP

For 800 at engine, ET is 10.3

Engine Motor Horsepower Estimate Calculator - Elapsed Time ET

Automobile Car Truck Motorcycle

Quarter Mile Run Or Drag Race

Note: This is a rough estimate of engine horsepower.

Using the

Engine Motor Horsepower Estimate Calculator - Trap Speed

To cross at 220km/h they calculate I need 870HP at the fly.

Note: This is a rough estimate of engine horsepower.

It does state 650kW, but they are talking ENGINE, not wheel power.

And still have factory gearbox.

WoW...simply amazing,I remember this stag when I join this group but it got to a level far up of anything I've seen or imagine....the only thing that can say(that my envy allows me to say) is congratulations you built the real heck of a ride...

Cheers for the comments. I am just organising the photos for the build thread. Do you guys want it from the start, or just the last lot that finished with what I have now?

It was factory --> fully forged + stereo 1 --> added T04z --> stereo 2 --> painted --> current motor. DO you want all 3 years worth, or just the last (stereo 2 --> painted --> current motor)?

Whatever you can be bothered to post up i reckon we'd be happy with!

Hi,

Here are a couple of photos of my 2002 Stagea 250RS. These were taken 10 days ago on the "Railway straight" of the Hamilton 400 V8 track. The car has 19" ZU2 mags that look pretty trick. I'll take some more photos and add them on the weekend.

Nice shots man... but who is the try-hard in the driver's seat with shades on at night???

I like it Nick... but that shot makes me feel like a dentist working on a molar. :)

ahaha! i tell the little one it'll gobble her up if she's not careful!

i was thinking the same thing. but they're fantastic shots though. i wish i had the capability to shoot like that.

hahah actually its the shadow from the rear-view mirror across my eyes.

unless you mean the bonnet shots, then thats me lol

Yep. The bonnet shots... and I figured it was you... those lights can get bright, eh? :ninja:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
