ok, I'll start this one off...

how about a full boori sleigh cot + matching change table + mattresses for each. No trailer.

Here's a pic of the cot (from the internet):

Couldn't find pics of the change table but it also has a drawer.

The mattress for the cot is also the boori one - for any dads out there who may have seen these - they're bigger than a normal cot...

Silly part was I ended up having to go back anyway to pick up some extra bits from the seller - so much for doing it all in one trip. :(

Also, I managed to fit an entire queen size waterbed + all the bits for the frame that goes underneath + heater etc. in my series 2 stagea. obviously there was no water in the mattress...just in case someone was doubting...

3 suitaces,

3 tents,

1 100l esky

2 large camping matresses

1 bent wood chair

1 gramaphone

1 x large tarp

10 poles

4 people

and a few more bits......

In one go, on the way to woodford folk festival.

That was about as much as you could possibly fit in, sorry no photo's

me, my son, my g/f daughter, (both 6) my g/f, my small bag, my sons smaller bag, g/f daughters medium bag my g/f's huge bag 12 bags of shopping toys and assorted things to keep the kids entertained, telescope, and some bits and pieces for the holiday house.... im impressed :( the bluey would have only fitted half that in and i would have had to take the stereo out too! ;)

the excel is an all out track car,definatly got some JDM flavour with its matte black hubcaps but only on one side of the car as i ran out of matte black before i could paint the other side

holy shit the thing is mental in the wet...

i try get a pic for you chris,if your that keen buddy!

In one go. .

8 x standard packing boxes

6 x Book/Cd packing boxes

2 x Jensen floor speakers

3 x Bose speakers

1 20" imac

1 x HP printer

1 male wardrobe of clothes stuffed in the spare parts left over. .

1 X Amp on front seat

1 x PS3 on front passengers floor

1 x 42" Hitachi plasma

Less 1 wedding ring, took up too much room couldn't seem to fit it in. . . . . :(

I love this thread already... recently moved house my family greatly underestimated the ability of my S2 RS... :P

one trip was a full sized fridge!!

then washing machine and bar fridge...

then my lowline entertainment unit, Sony 7.2 surround sound system (2 big subs and two massive tower speakers), tall wooden slim cabinet for dvd's and some other gear...

Sorry no pics! but i have move a washing machine tomorrow i think so i will post a pic of how much more room there is with one in the stag :D

in one go

6 jumbo cube spacebags full of clothing

1 first aid kit

8years of unibooks

fishing box

2 big suitcases and 2 portes

my sombrero

4 pillows

the mrs

22 inch pc monitor in box

pc tower repacked in box

fan

random bits of stuff that after fully packing the 8x6x8 foot trailer wouldn't fit in there

literally the whole section to the front seats was excluded of air and the tailgate electronic assist required additional effort to close the door

then tie that in with a 2500km trip

otherwise in one trip a pocket chopper standing up

another time my sisters antique hall cupboard

^^ let mum and dad borrow it for the hall cupboard after they bought it thinking they could save $50 delivery - umm its a stag, cos them $40 to replace the fuel they used :P

Edited by 910trx

I have moved my daughters twice now and you’re right it is surprising just how much you can get in when you pack it properly.

The slowest trip would have been when I had a carton of eggs in the back it was a bit of a yoke actually :P

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
