My wife has already mentioned maybe we could help organise the next one and have it ending up at our place in West Perth/ Leederville to enjoy homemade pizzas from our wood fired oven. Plus, there is a large vacant block at the end of the lane way which will provide plenty of parking space. Anyway, just an idea. :D

Just had another wild idea too! Maybe we could stop into the AHG driving centre enroute (pre-arranged) and carry out a couple of driving challenges like they do on 'Top Gear'. Nothing that will damage the cars of course, but fun challenges such as timed road cone slalom course or something. Perhaps a zero to 60 to zero comp, Brad has to do it in reverse! HAHA... Like I said, just a wild idea.

Anyway, John and Chuckie did a great job of organising the last one and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks guys!

James

was just going to be SOOO much work putting all the trim back in - the door skins etc etc

aanyhoo - I put my hand up for assisting in the next cruise for sure.

does sound like I missed a good day- oh and the installs far from over- was still working on it at 10 last night - so its not some fabricated excuse not to come

hhmm .. lets see .. driving around or contorting painfully under the dash - mmm .. lets see what wins.

oh and TOP work getting some prizes donated by local shops.. thats always nice :)

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!!

Thanks for an interesting tour of the city fellas' glad I took the time to come & join in, met some good people, learned heaps from the quiz (all gone now but) called in at Wilkinson Suspension on the way out & got the rest of the bits from Whiteline kit fitted so the weekend was not all "indulgence" after all John.

Thanks for a great day out.

GW :)

Hey James I think that having another cruise and ending up at your place for Pizza is a top idea.

How do you think we'll go for parking??

Have you any idea how you'd like to run it...... happy to help mate.

Oh, and Graham so glad that you enjoyed it all. It's a bit tough tryiing to find your way and answer questions on paper. At least you had a go though. Sorry we only had prizes to fourth. Next time.

maybe we'll have to think of some other way of competing. AHG sounds OK but I think that we'd have buckley's. Still we could approach someone else. (maybe a private company with a large carpark?

Maybe start a new thread for ideas for the next run/cruise.

Hi John, I would not be able to run it until after June the 20th, as I have a annual check @ work to study up for and pass.

We have had up to about 30 people at our pizza nights so food covered. Even if everyone chips in $5 it covers all the ingredients.

As for parking, there is room to park just on a very large vacant block at the end of our back laneway. Probably 10 cars along the front and more if parked two deep. If that fails, Beatty Park (aquatic centre) carpark is two minutes walk away with ample parking and a photo opportunity in front of the cricket ground next to it. Another spot is the WA outdoor volleyball courts carpark which is about one minutes walk away. You will see both of those locations on Google earth near the corner of Vincent and Charles Street North Perth.

I think starting a new thread for ideas is a great idea. I thinking keeping it fairly relaxed and not bigger than Ben Hur sort of day is a good idea.

I never got to go on one of Wildcats cruises, but think she has done an excellent thing getting Stagea owners together. If she, yourself or anyone else wants to help organise the next one I would love the help as I am very much a newbie to all of this.

G`Day all,dose it have to be a cruise,why not just have a meet one night for a feed & coffee & bullshit ,not like we have to get out on the road just be GOOD to sit & have a chat,cheer`s chuckie

Seconded!

I will bring the chocolate cookies :P

actually had the car for just over 2 1/2 months, but the gearbox went 2 weeks after i bought it so copped a full gearbox rebuild (took 2 months to do so though...) under warranty :whistling:

+1 to a meet up / cruise / whatever, need to get out and meet some fellow stagea owners as i have only really talked to Appealing and MRO.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
