Just a suggestion, this time we really need to get our sh!t together and do a decent group photo. I am pretty sure we have the best attendance in Australia for Stagea cruises and we need to have proof! If we are going to do the dam run there will be plenty of opportunities.

So, if you are in WA and own a stagea, make sure you come along, even if you don't post here that often!

Lee the trader hahah, i new he was lookin at getting rid of it but didnt know if he was or not, i suppose he got an evo like he said he wanted?

i was meant to take him for a run in my stagea a while ago but shit went bad before i got a chance ;)

i havent even seen him on msn in ages, he must have better things to do :)

i am not online much anymore either, i am out and about these days doin other stuff and i dont have the opportunity to get on the net at work.

anyway let us know the final details and ill be there for a look and a chat to ya all :D

hahahah he is not a trader...he got another turbo, but your guess is incorrect :) :) you will never guess actually :)

yeah i offered him seats in the stagea if he didnt want to bring his new car :)

hahaha so 'doing stuff' whats the next project your working on ;)

yep should have a confirmed date by this weekend :) will be good to catch up with everyone again :)

got a couple of new toys to play around with and i havent actually touched my stagea in about 4 weeks to be honest, im losing motivation again from all these setbacks. should be running in about a month or so if im lucky (which i never am :laughing-smiley-014: )

sorry for getting the thread offtopic :)

cheaper alternatives to real cars ahaha, remote control monster truck (traxxis revo 3.3) and a schumacher nitro fusion onroad remote control car that does 100kmh+

been playing with the old mans helicopter too (electric one not petrol) as well and its rather difficult to fly

so what cars Lee got?

Puuuuhhhhhlllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeee?????????? :O

the extra detail definately sucked me in :D:P i would hate to think how much fuel the stag would use on the trip over :D

another good cruise is to head up to mundairing and stop off at Little Ceasers Pizza! ( for a late lunch early dinner)

do you ( stagea drivers ) ever plan country trips? ie to dwellingup or whatever?

camping trips etc are good cause you can get on the booze and not have to worry about driving anywhere.

we would need a third mortgage then...2 stageas to fuel up :)

I could probably dig up receipts for an estimate if I got motivation, Brisbane to Kal but. dunno if that is the same. Anyway it's not the gas it's the meals & accom/showers/bed that screw the moths outta the wallpaper.

Cheers GW :):) oops

Hah I haven't been to mundairing for a while but last time I went I got freaked out by the road, and the steep descent on each side.. Seemed like a 5-10m drop on each side.. The creaky old bus I was in didn't make it any better. I've got to say that is a far way away to get some pizza :) As much as I do like pizza...

i drove my 260 stagea back from brisbane to perth and i think it cost about 650 in fuel but that is doin 130/140 most of the way, running it on bp ultimate and payin $1.68 and $1.63 a ltr at two stops. It was about another 500-600 for two people for food/accomadatuion etc. and this was in march 07

    • R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?
    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
