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 :P

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 ...) :P

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 :P 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.

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 :)

    • 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.
