welcome to the n00b pom!! Where abouts in Pomgolia are you from?

post photo's of snow on a stagea! They are actually designed for it, but hardly any of us convicts have ever even seen snow, let alone driven in it.

PS. LOL @ the volvo in the background. Do you ever try and get into the wrong car by mistake?

Holy Snapping Duckshit Batman!

Jeez d00d, when I asked for photo's I didn't mean go out at 11pm and take them. Thanks anyway but I feel bad now :)

So, onto the stag, is it stock? We seem to get a few blow in's from up your way. How comon are they in the Land Of The Great Unwashed? (:) )

*edit* As for us being out in the sun for too long, You guys are the ones that sent us all down here as convicts. If it were us, we would have left all the convicts there and headed down here ourselves!

Welcome English!

What I wouldn't give for Turbo-friendly ambient temps once in a while! I swear my car made 30% more power when It was in Sydney for winter...

I know the feeling. not looking forward to summer for the hot drives with climate control cranked up and the car struggling along all the time...

winter was so much fun.

Hey Art you're one of the few on here that gets to use the 'snow' feature a bit...does it work well?

I've tested my stagea on many wet roads and dirt roads and traction is unbelievably good - is it ok with snow?

on the topic of that stupid F&&king snow button !

I hate it cause every now and again it gets mysteriously turned on .. does it do damage to the tranny driving it around in that mode with not a snowflake to be seen ?

Yes it does.... and if left on for more than 3 days over 25 dgrees C, it will cause a rift in the space/time continuum, and we will all cease to exist!

Seriously, though, from what I have been led to believe, it can increase trans wear significantly, if used regularly with no snow. I could be wrong, I'm just the messenger!

well ceasing to exist is better for me than paying for a gearbox rebuild!

well I dont know for a fact how long its been on .. lotty drove from down south up so I am not

sure how the car felt to her! I only noticed it when I drove into work today.

I thought it just stopped the car from shifting into 1st gear and stopped it hitting hi boost?

lol oh is that a volvo in the background? I honestly thought it was an M35 (taillights kinda confused me I guess) :P

do you have to pay a lot of road tax on the stag-barge? all my relos in the UK are constantly complaining about how much road tax they pay.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
