Do Stageas have automatic fold-back mirrors, like Mitsubishi FTOs, and some other imports? I thought it was a standard option, but in all the photos on here I haven't seen any folded back ;) If they do have the option, is it on series 1 and 2?

Cheers,

David

Yep, I haven't seen an import without them either. Most aussie cars have them too, but their not electric.

I think in Japan they are pretty much a nessecity due to the parking situtation over there.

from what ive been told by Japanese nationals

Its mainly for bike riders and scooter riders...so if htey hit a mirror it iwll fold out of the way, and not create as much injury.

Its a requirement that all Japan cars have at least folding mirrors, but ive only see 3 or 4 older cars without electronic mirrors...My series one has them....i never use them though

i just always forget about it

im going to rig a switch to make it close when i turn the ignition off...just gotta get int ehre with a multimeter to figure it out

they do close when you turn your ignition off, you just push your switch to retract.

Hook them up to a turbo timer as well as the windows and sunroofs, when the car switches off it closes the windows one by one then the sunnies and finally the mirrors fold in! Would be a great party trick but you would waste a lot of time standing around waiting to make sure it all happened before you left the car in the parking lot.

Grant do you live on base? If not where do you park/work on your car? I know you need to have proof of a parking space to be able to register a car in Japan (in the cities anyway)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
