Hi Guys,

Just wanted to show off some nice pics that were taken of my car today.

Big thanks to my brother Chris for taking the shots. To see more cool pics visit his site www.chrisbennyimaging.com

Here is a shot of the Stagea when I got it last month:

That looks awesome, what rims are they? What else have you done since you have had it?

They are Axis Hiro rims. 18x8.5

So far I havent done much, just the wheels, split dump/front, metal cat and filter. (it already had a cat back)

I will eventually get front mount, high flow and SAFC. I want about 200kw @ the wheels, but that will have to wait seeing as i blew all my cash on the new wheels!

Thats a frieken awesome carpark for photography hey.

Your tyres are as shiny as your paint!! Awesome photos of a very tidy car, mate. In the first pic it actually looks as though your paint had a greenish tinge to it, but guess it may have just been from the grass.....??

Lookz very niice ...

mate u mentioned getting a hi-flow ..ive done it and if i was gonna go down the same path again upgrading the turbo i would spend a lil extra and get a much better turbo, something like a GT30 (as recommended by cruiseliner) ... especaillly if your chasing some respectible performance figures. This of course will mean there will be a few other things that will require modifying but overall you will have a much better package :P

Congratz on the beast tho mate!!! :)

Your bro can photograph my car anytime, mate. Considering all youve done is throw on a set of (very nice) rims, and it sits lower than stock, maybe? Thats one of the nicest stageas ive seen in a while hey. Not that i see a lot.

haha yeah he is very good! and Stageas are beautiful things... :)

Yeah at the moment, its only rims, suspension and exhaust.

Once I have done a few more things to the car we will get some real beauty shots of it!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
