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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
