I had pretty much come to the conclusion that the australian stig was just one of the 2 presenters with racing experience. They surely don't have the budget to employ another whole person for something they are both capable of.

The racing experience of the presenters is very limited...

Cox did some racing in the UK and V8 Bathurst here with average results

Pizzati has done a couple of vic state formula ford races in 1999 with back of the field results.

I think it's you Kev... ...I sure saw enough evidence around your place to point to it... :)

For the UK version there are a few stigs atm, Depending on the car. Some companys want there own driver to drive the cars and some dont care.

1st Stig Perry McCarthy former F1 test driver (one they shot of a ship)

2nd & current Stig Ben Collins has raced Indy, IRL F3

USA Stig Mario Andretti

Heiki Kovalevien drove the F1 on the TG Track

The Australian Stig is TURN AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW..........

The Bates Brothers

1st it was though to be Russel Ingal but was later found out to be both the bothers

I refuse to believe it...

I might believe it is the American Stig... ...That dude sure had the physique of a NASCAR driver...

Lol

Exactly... just don't click on the link, and keep the dream alive!!! :P

Oh and some say that the he lives on my TV.....

I cant tell you it is NOT the Bates brothers, Neil Bates has a rock solid contract with Toyota, runs the largest rally team in Australia and certainly doesn't have the time to hang around a film set for days at a time.

Now Rick Bates on the other hand....

Lol

It's easy to do.... although not with the black helmet lens. (thats the hardest part i've found to find)

The Target store @ Malvern has $4.95 Lego kits of this...

Then just borrow your GF's nail file and sand off the print on the torso. :D

Failing that, just have a son who's massive keen for Lego and just collect it. :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
