Still have people staring at my car every day, sometimes getting a nod or a thumbs-up. Never gets old, even after all these years and kms.

You should try it in an R32 that looks like a GTR (but isn't). Just the other day I had some dude in a van hanging out the window going nutso over my car in traffic. This sort of thing happens pretty much weekly nowadays. A lot has changed in 25 years.

Yuh, I saw that the other day (and then went back and watched the earlier one where Misha broke the Crown Athlete wagon), and looking at the inside of that Stagea I thought it looked like it was in really good nick inside. Made me think it hadn't done many miles, which is probably a reasonable thing for a 260RS. I also wondered if it was one of our more recent Euro Stagea owners' cars.

I was actually very surprised by how well it drove. It was doing quite high speeds through various parts with esses and some fast corners where I'd have expected it to just flip over on its roof. It was clearly slower through the bends than that BMW that was behind it to start with, and just walked away from it under power, which was also impressive given it's supposed to be a stock 26 with only ~320HP. The BMS behind must have been a small engined variety.

Makes me realise I'd have to man up quite a lot to push my car anywhere near as fast as Misha drove that Stagea. I have more power and less weight, so the speeds could be higher and I suspect that my suspension setup, which has never been proven at track speeds, might cause a few code browns.

I'm impressed that they didn't stop for fuel half way, must have been nervous to go that far without filling up in a Stagea :rofl:

Seriously though, props to the driver, he obviously knows the place well and treated a borrowed car with respect without babying it either

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
