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!

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
