Hey guys,

I just finished watching top gear oz again tonight, and it made me start thinking who was the aussie stig?

some rumours i have read, say that he isnt very tall from the footage, and some have said he seemed a little over weight in the first few episodes, also that it might have been a fill in for the first few till they found somebody to do it fulltime.

anyway some have said russell ingall?

also read rick bates maybe?

I have no idea but if anybody has some evidence or has seen any, post up links etc in here. eventually somebody will have to find out who it is!

Cheers

Daz

i think the show is actually getting better, cant wait to see the gtr next week.. it better be a good story or thats the end of me trying to watch it.

i think it might be rusty.. the way the "stig" if you can call him that, his driving position reminds me of rusty.. i dont know of anyone else that sits like that.. long shot but its my 2c anyway..

as for skaife... well... some say he likes to cry alot.

yea the show is sort of gradually getting better, but some of the stuff there doing isnt even laugh worthy. but they are getting alittle better over all, but will never be the UK guys. but i think they are slowly finding there feet and making there own way.

I was thinking ingall aswell. he's not too tall, and isnt exactly skinny like some other racers. but yeah, somebody out there has to have some solid evidence. lol

my mate works for defecne and he said that once of the guys on the defence forums, saw john bowe walking around a race circut in a full white suit. he then proceeded to thrash a crapload of different cars, and then did an interview without taking his helmet off.

he told me this before the show had aired...and suprise he then proceeded to thrash a bunch of cars.

but eh...

who cares...from what ive read the uk one is a bunch off diff people not jsut the one.

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
