Wish our QLD cruise was that picturesque!!!

We had 8 stags at ours though... lol

But yeah there were no two the same. Close (three dark green ones) but different wheels etc. No S2's at ours!!

There was no S2 at ours either....its an S1.5!!! haha ;)

Shit! fooled me!! lol you did a fantastic job then! haha

I feel better about our cruise now...

The sydney one has a nice colourful turnout

It was an awesome day, loved every minute of it! Unfortunately i did not get any pics though as i saw everyone else taking pics i thought i wouldnt bother.

But awesome cruise, nice to meet everyone who i hadnt already met (everyone except alex lol)

Nice Stagea's people keep it up

Awesome day apart from the burnt arms.

Alex and FLYSLY u would be glad to have no sunroofs cos i got shockingly burnt neck and left arm.

Was great to put some faces to forum names.

All in all a good day.

Great day boyz, a quality bunch to be sure, great to meet you all!

Some nice formation driving on the way back into the city too, not often you see a six pack of Stagea's running down the highway across 2 and sometimes 3 lanes, very nice site and leaving a few onlookers with sore necks as well.

I too have the sunburn, ouch!

Cheers

400km isnt bad, thats just over a tanks worth.

Haha, nah I have done 230km on half a tank since we filled up at the start of the cruise so I'd be looking at around 13ltr/100km on cruise and better off so around 3/4 of a tank!

That's pretty good economy, Luke. Not sure how much I used yesterday - I think it's just under three-quarter's full now, so I'll check the trip metre and take a "wild guess" at the economy so far. Was a pretty spirited run, so I'm not getting my hopes up, that's for sure! Heaps of exhaust popping on over-run down hills in 4th gear.

I ran two tanks of Shell V-Max (which is what they're calling the old Optimax now), and it didn't feel quite right. Yesterday I filled with BP Ultimate again just before we went on our cruised, and I noticed the difference in the smoothness and power straight away.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
