Anyone Taken A Stagea Over The Pits Lately

[Blizzerd]

Hey guys, getting my 1999 Manual Stagea in about 2 weeks, and have been told i have to go over the pits.

What are the queues like,

Which pits to avoid, any you recomend,

What are they going to pick on.

Any other info would be helpful

Ring up and make an appointment at Midland or Welshpool? (I think.. I've only made appointments at the Midland pits) dpi.wa.gov.au website is your friend

Haven't taken my Stag over but all the normal things apply.. tread/fluids/lights/leaks/seatbelts/etc.. just make sure everything is neat and tidy and don't try to hide anything.

Does it have any mods?

Welshpool and O'Connor work on a first in first served basis and open at 07:30....I rocked up at 06:00 and was out by 09:00 or 09:30, can't remember, was only one car in front of me.

All centres treat you about the same and they're all busy, especially busy with hail damaged cars flooding through.

Stop into a car was before you go, and give the engine bay a massive spray (its begging for one ...)

Get under the car and give the underside a good wipedown... make it look nice and clean. They really like that. Make sure all your hoses and lines are in good condition with no splits etc (they will find the tiniest split). I go to the Welshpool one and rock up at 6am too since you have to wait like 2 weeks if you wanna book an inspection at Warwick or something There's always another car there already lol and it gets BUSY

Oh and I went at like 4pm once and it was pretty empty, I was the last car to be inspected so sometime in the afternoon might be good too.

It would have been quiet at 4, since you're advised on their site not to show up after 3:30

If the coilovers aren't adjustable they should pass fine, make sure the exhaust isn't too loud and has a cat fitted, and make sure the pod filter is bracketed down. If the bov is atmo. venting, chuck a stock one on.

Post some pics when you get them

Pics as promised.

Going to pay tomorrow morning
