Hey guys

Haven't done an update in awhile, since the track has been repaired out at Palmyra we have managed to have a couple of runs. The track has no rubber left on fro the floods so the track is super slippery but that's why we have 4wd :). Anyway last night was the debut of the car with the 17" Mickey Thompson ET Streets and straight away the car is 100% better at everything. The flat shifter is working perfect with the PPG box and the car is driving straight as an arrow. With a better prepared track and little bit more power a low 9 is very achievable and will be punching out a 8sec pass in no time. Any way here is a compilation video i made up of the run enjoy.

that onboard rear view camera shows how shockingly quick your car is!

the smoke bellowing out warming up the tyres looks unreal!!!

i look forward to seeing what times u get into :)

Cheers Mate

I Love the Go Pro Camera's they give a real good sense of what it's actually like.... might have to buy a 3rd one. I'm really looking forward to hitting a really quality track like Willow-bank, Palmyra just does't have any grip at all.

Solid pass Ben! I saw that video last night whilst browsing youtube, love the burnout :D

RE: Go-pros... I found the opposite when doing some tarmac stuff earlier in the year. Need adjustable zoom!

Should do a video without the music and just the sound of the car in all angles. Built this big setup and one can hardly hear it :thumbsup:

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
