I do recall there is a menu to close down the screen, but I have no idea where it is. I think I have had a similar problem in the past.

Privacy glass - got to wonder what your doing in the back of the wagon that needs to be so private?

:woot:

Haha, nah my NM35 has privacy glass... this is on another level... or is this just another series 2 improvement?

I know it can be turned off, I did it! Just need to know how to turn it back on as I obviously can't access the menu to do so :(

About time!

So... when do the mods start? :cheers:

Saturday... or maybe tomorrow depending on work load :ninja:

NA mods = waste of time. :P

Your time will come... and you won't like what I will have in store for you to make up.

nice one cam!

is that front cameras or front parking sensors?

Front cameras which would display a split imagine on my screen... if my screen displayed anything at all :pirate:

Decided to borrow some wheels off of a friend for a random photoshoot (18 x 10 + 22)

than a friend and myself drove up to Roxby Downs to apply for some jobs in the mines..

(says RUN YOUR CAR NOT YOUR MOUTH)

The wheels felt absolutely horrible on the car, ended up snapping 2 wheel studs at 110kph on the way back from Roxby Downs... Got stuck on the side of the road for over an hour then waited another 2 hours for RAA to take us to Port Augusta, THEN had to wait till 11pmish when a friend came from Adelaide with a trailer to take us home.. Was an interesting road trip thats for sure!

Go Volvo!

Sorry for the quality of the pictures, my phone is a bit bleh when it comes to photos!

And lastly, the only reason I got my Stagea was for my boys :

But very shortly will be taking the stagea off of the road to do some mods to it (motor, interior, gear box, trim, body kit, wheels, suspension etc)

Sorry for the overload of pictures haha

^ bit of a different approach, good to c.

Why do you need to do all that at once? And what do you plan to put in/change.

Well my partner is a diesel mechanic and the previous owner didn't do a great job with the car so we want to modify the motor, bigger turbo etc pretty much make it a two seater awd monster haha... so if I buy a cheap daily we can slowly build it up and take our time doing it right the first time

I just love that they sent Volvo to help a Stagea owner!

Haha actually my partner works for Volvo trucks as a diesel mechanic so he does truck break downs, after we got the car home he came and fixed it with the work van... kinda Ironic he works for Volvo and I have a stag haha

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
