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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
