The supplier for these is TOPSTAGE i believe.

Going by what was posted in the Vic section a few days ago.

Please confirm & supply some more information anDru or this thread will be locked.

Thanks.

yes we make theese airboxes.

CF do have alot better advantages compared to metal.

Metal will heat up especially aluminum, it will take the heat from engine side and it will disperse the heat to the cooler side. after a long drive, you barely can touch the aluminum shield. as for carbon, it speaks for itself, try 20' difference intake and try touching it, barely warm.

for stock intercooler piping, the airbox can be trimmed easily. or is anyone in melbourne does, we will do them for you.

yes they do have the cutout for the canisters.

I dont know if im speaking for a majority of people however carbon fibresheet costs $50 for about the amount used.. and setting it to that shape a few hours.. I dont know if its $300 bux worth ..

Suppose time adds up quick but i feel its expensive .. thought id add my two cents

Reasonable price, if you dont like it and think you can do a better job, spend your time making your own instead of being a pain in the arse. When was the last time you bought CF sheet? The price has sky rocketed since the airbus production started.

By the way since you are such a tight arse why dont you keep your 2c.

lol take it easy there trooper i guess he just dosnt wanna get ripped off.

as for your question decim8, its quite a good price, and because it is a custom job it just adds. but trust me its worth the $$$ cuz its a awsome job.

maybe we can meet up when we get our leather seats installed, and i can show u the quality of the CF box, thats if your in melbourne :P

I would definately buy one if it suited my setup :P

A custom alloy one is costing me this much.

the best way to get a perfect fit is to get some cardboard, and cut out the shapes to mould around your car. send it to us and we'll mould the CF in that shape and send it back. but try taking a pic we might be able to judge how easy it is to do

Thanks for the offer - would not get the fit I require doing it this way, really need to have the car there IMO. Shame you guys are so far away, haven't found anyone in syd yet and I dont have access to a proper workshop anymore.

it really isnt that hard i did it myself. honestly try it. what u do is get a big sheet of carboard, cut it into the shapre u need. all u need is a pen and a stanley knife

Do you work for topstage now andru?

nah not really, we do favours for each other. i thought why not make friends with someone whos a CF moulder. will come in handy when i need that Diffuser

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
