After 5 years of dreaming and 10 months of waiting I took delivery of my Series II Stagea today.

This may seem like a long time, but when your after something specific it's well worth it.

Every option under the sun roofs and all [pun intended]. (one thing I didn't get was side airbags but I reckon the wait may have been forever for that)

Includes rear fog lamp, optional reverse camera & towel rail for the win

Just to name a few

Look forward to seeing you on the road &

Thanks for your time

That towel rail is fantastic! Enjoy, I know you will!

As you all know by now I really hated my Forester, but, in the spare wheel well (full size) there was a poly wash basin. You could take it out and do the dishes etc.

Silly buggers didn't fit a towel rail though. If it had one I might have liked the LEMON.

Well done! Never even seen one with a towel rail before! You've been waiting even longer than me... I've been looking for about 3 years, I paid a service fee to my chosen importer a couple of months ago and I'm struggling to find a series 2 in silver with leather... I can appreciate how you could spend 5 years (or 10) looking for one with all the right options, that's for sure. Awesome looking example you have there. Got any pics of the interior? I guess it is a prime ed with leather?

Yep Prime Edition with all the fruit.

Only got to drive it once from the importer to my mechanic for a major service (precautionary)

so I'm chaffing at the bit to get my filthy hands back on it.

That looks niiiice. I reckon that silver with leather has gotta be the rarest damn combo. I think I'm gonna settle for pearl white/leather. But silver looks best :D

nah dude pearl white in the right sunshine looks friken fantastic

just you wait......

wish I had leather interior tho

Noticed these little gems whilst driving at night this evening

post-37588-1188647990_thumb.jpg

Can't really see the point of them but they light up white when the doors open

Then if your headlights are on and your driving, they glow green(!?)

Kinda makes you feel like you're in an aeroplane :laughing-smiley-014:

The dude who bought this car really optioned it to the max...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
