Out of curiosity what offsets are they?

I have been looking for some decent 18" rims to suit my s1 for ages and its so rare to see 4 x equal width rims!

Maybe these can be it :rofl:, can you find out how much postage would be from Rocky to Brisbane (pcode 4105).

The offsets I dont really know offhand, but i have the original boxes they came in somewhere at home, I'll do a look later on tonight for you and post them then.

Well postage for 1 18" rim, (not the tyre just the rim) from rocky to gold coast was ~$40, and it was right on the limit of what Aust-Post were willing to ship. so you would probably have to ring up some courier services or something like "Pack-n-Send" or contact the bus's and see if i can put them on the bus here in rocky and have you grab them when they get to Brisbane?

But I just dont have the time to run around to organize postage, so not to be rude, but if you are seriously interested in them,then you will have to organize the postage.

If I had a half decent reliable car I would offer to drive them down to you for ~$200, but atm I dont actually have anything that would make it down and back.

Also apparently the stuff on the chrome bit is the clearcoat peeling. I did gently pick a tiny bit off and it still looks fine underneath, so I am assuming that with a good polish they would come up fine?

Also they bolted straight up to my old S1 Stagea, so I would see no problems with them bolting up to yours?

Pictures of them on my old stagea:

need me to drive them down to brissy Cy??... i can pick them up Tuesday...

.. unless i buy them... i can;t decide on them or CAI's - or 34GTR - or emergency moneys for my trip to tassy...

Well we can bolt them up and you can see what they look like on Tuesday if you want to?

Also it'll be up to rubba to organize with you to take them down for him. But it means he'll have to pay me before Tuesday as well.

Pics of us test fitting them to Chris's beast: (Yes that is Chris in the pics, and the boy with the white t-shirt on is my son)

Both my daughter and son kept asking Chris if this was our car, and if he had brought it back :blink:

That mustve been heart-breaking man... really wouldve been. A friend of mine had to let go of his car due to financial circumstances. Loved it to pieces, always washing it such. Sold it, for no-where near its value and had to watch the guy who bought it drive past him on the way to work everyday.

If that wasnt bad enough, the guy then wrote it off on the way to work, and my mate drove past and saw the car with the cops and ambos around. It was 3 weeks after he'd sold it.

Will you get another stagea cy? I cant wait to get one hey...

hey cy looks like my stageas twin brother ha ha .would always sell her back to you mate anytime .from one good home to another and back ha ha but with more grunt then 12 cops this time .

nice

if I win the lotto cy would have a stagea in his driveway again

dale will have to beg :D

Most probably not eh, But I am really gald bernard bought it, as he has treated it with all the goodies I probably would never been able to afford to do.

Yeah maybe if I find that elusive money tree, and then I would probably go a 260RS, but would be VEEERY tempted to get the old girl back, I bet she goes a lot better now with the new turbo! :)

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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.
