hey guys - we *should* be there - but I am going to start the stereo install on the stagea , and depending on the progress I may or may not be there for the cruise. Obviously if the cars in a fit state to come along we will be there!

that is the most p1ss weak excuse i have ever heard for a pre-emptive "get out of cruise free" attempt.

Man up and be there.

well to be honest I thought I would get in early as I dont gotz no intarweb at home

nah.. i will just busta hump and I am sure I will get it done -weather permitting!

Well just so that you all know, The map is set, and hopefully no-one will get lost.... if you do it won't be the fault of the instructions!!

I have added the aforementioned quiz, it's about 30 questions, every other one is either on Perth, or Stagea's..... some are fairly tough.... so now you know why we are called the SWAT.... he he!

Pretty good prizes for the winners (and for the people that don't get so many right).

There may also be a couple of spot prizes for ..... well wait and see!!

Looking forward to a fun day, with lots of smiles!! :down:

Just don't do any rain dances.....

And really Shane it isn't that hard to install a stereo..... besides you have Friday and Saturday.....

Cheers Guys

if i can do it so can you lol. but i have to take the head unit out again because i forgot to hook up the power for the areial amplifier.. but meh i didnt install a stereo to listen to the radio.. :D

yer well i feel like a dodo... reading it as saturday not sunday... damn hang overs.

ill come down for the meet point but that is about it..

the car is under warranty, but still dont want it to break and not have it for weeks on end.

Great work John!

I'm sooo excited to meet other Stagea owners and see lots of Stags together! Talk shop about potential performance upgrades, etc. Plus get lots of pics :down:

I'll have to get the polish out tomorrow and make sure our car aka "Ag" is looking his Sunday best :P

Can you email me a copy of the map, because as previously mentioned I may have to try and catch up/ meet up enroute.

See you all there!

Oh well the latest forecast on the weather is: some showers, possible thunderstorm!! Don't let this put you off. We are bringing a couple of very large garden umbrellas, and some rope to tie them down! if anyone wants to bring a tarp and ropes... be my guest.

The maps will be given out at Burswood.

Just a note on the quiz.... The quiz is written to keep pace with the cruise. Some questions will need to be answered as you go by certain points, (or at least these points remembered, if you are on your own). All of the Stagea questions can be answered at any time. I accidentally repeated one question, but you won't get double points for answering it twice! :cheers: There is a 1st prize, so no conferring at meet points, you can go through it all at the end.

Everyone will get something, just for showing up.

So, looking forward to seeing all the old faces and new ones......

See you there.

John

Hey chuckie how much fuel did you use last night I went through 1/4 a tank. Glad I don't drive my girl every day.

Karl never look at that when we are out on an evening like that ???,i think that 20 litre`s may be more ??,rev`s never under 4,500/5000,so it goes through a bit but, you we`er with front boy`s & they we`er quick,the wrx hurt going up to martin he had no idear on the road which i do use often,2nd/3rd got work out,need some sway bar`s would make it alot better,see you sunday.

started the stag to head on down to say hi and the 4wd relay went nuts!

:blush: didnt want to risk it... once she is all fixed ill be there for sure next time ok

hope you all had a good time!!

sorry we didnt make it :thumbsup:

the stereo install is just taking a LOT longer than I anticipated. I really dunno wtf is taking all the time to be honest !!!

but I have run the cabling for the rear speakers thru the factory harness ( so you cant see another set of wires near the door hinges ) and yeah just stuff like that takes forever.

( HINT- get some whipper snipper cord -pass it thru the wiring harness - and tie the cable to it- pull back )

and all the running around we had to do on sunday ( picking up the power cable etc )

so all thats really left to do now is to get the seats back in ( only drivers in right now )

and connect all speakers to amp etc.

I drove the stag into work today ( so I can piss off early and finish the install ) haha.. kinda funny driving a stagea buit for 1 !

so yeah hope you all had fun ! shame bout the weather

( I had to go fit some lightbulbs for mum and get the power cable so I did all that when it was raining )

Now it's a p1ss weak excuse!

if you could drive to work today, how come you couldn't have chucked the passenger seat back in and come out yesterday.

If you had you would have missed all the rain, we did, not one 'brolly reqd.

Next time we'll try to give you more notice!!!

Shamus, you missed out on a really good day. I hope everyone enjoyed the map and the quiz. I enjoyed making them and getting and giving the prizes.

Steve and Mandy won the 1st prize.... (T-shirt)

Leroy and Penny won 2nd (flask)

I guess that I should say that Supercheap in Melville donated the socket set (3rd prize), which was won by Daniel and Dale.

The best all-around answer for "I love my Stagea because?" was from Graham..... "cos everything else sucks!"

Thanks guys for all the photo's and supporting the day, just a pity that a few more didn't make it..... still I think that it rated well.

Rebold Hill look out was something.........talk about take over the car park!

Looking forward to the next one..... hopefully I helped to "lift the bar" a little.

A bit more organisation, (and help) and we could have had much better prizes. So I am going to offer my help to whoever wants to do the next one. I reckon that I can get a few good prizes out of people if we try hard. I once did a combined car club quiz night, and we had prizes for the top 16 tables!! First prize was a weekend for 6 in Albany, including the fuel to get there!! 2nd a weekend for 2 in Perth.

Something like that might a few more turner-uppers!!

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
