What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[PN-Mad]

I wouldn't bother mate. If you are dead serious about power, then get a different (3inch) muffler welded on the end and keep that Muffler. But I would suggest if you don't have a high flow turbo, piggyback, etc etc, I don't think the exhaust will be that big a deal. I'm only going by the Mods in your Sig. Do you really want it louder? Doesn't seem like it has any muffler to it anyway!

[Reprieve]

This is true lol

Fitted Tein S-Tech springs in my series 2 RS4S yesterday. Was hoping for the 1.5inch drop that they claim but it's only dropped about 10mm in the front and practically nothing in the rear. Just hoping it'll settle down a bit over the next couple of weeks with driving. It's definitely stiffer though.

thrashed the shit outa it...... and my wife added my family stickers to it LOL

Went to drive it for the first time in 2-3 weeks, found the battery was flat.

Put it on charge for about 6 hours, checked voltage, 1.5v. Pulling it out and putting it on a deep charge for a couple of days to see if it'll be ok, since it's only about 6-9 months old.

Battery's dead mate, I haven't seen one come back from that voltage before.

[Commsman]

^ +1.

If <12 months old it should be under warranty.

[bigkevracer]

Pain in the arse. Oh well, sort it out when I get back I guess.

just fitted a new rack end on passenger side, bought a new pair from ebay (link from Dale)

http://www.ebay.com....#ht_1749wt_1037

after fitting it and drove the car, steering was very loose that when i came out to check the wheels. the left one (passenger side) had a toe in about 5-7 degrees

after a closer inspection, the new rack end is actually longer than stock one (refer pic) so had to cut off to roughly the same length, now just need to do wheel alignment

thought to share this so if anyone else needs to change the rack end to the same ones i bought, better measure and cut 1st

installed a new rear spoiler on the M35 today

anyone recognise what brand it might be?

[slippylotion]

Never seen that one. Does it completely cover the top of the gate?

Looks good ?

[Mr 20Valve]

I had to remove those two black strips at the edges of the tailgate lid & the spolier screws into the metal beneath where they sat.

Then it just basically sits on top of the black plastic trim that the centre brake light is part of (with help from a bit of double sided tape)

I'll take some more pics when my wife gets back from the shops with it.

I like it, where did you source it from?

Brand ?

[Mr 20Valve]

Got it off import monster.

NFI what brand it is...

[TWOAR81]

I like that a lot, already sprayed?

Nice buy!

Dyno'd the car last night. Car feels awesome to drive. Less boost made more power.....18.5psi ftw!

240killa wasps....car feels strong right through the range.

Jez the tune is awesome....and the f$@ker starts hot or cold for the first time in a long time.

Excellent buddy glad ur happy.

Sorry about the dyno sheet. Damn dyno restarting on me. Forgot to input ur details back in correctly.

Haha i underestimated ur car. Wheelspin on the 1st pull of the night. Was exciting. We need to find a way to lock it into gear though. Was hard to tune below 4000rpm. Will have a play on the road when u are ready

Limp mate, the kickdown is just to keep you on your toes.

The torque converter lockup solenoid needs a 12v voltage on it for a start...

[slippylotion]

I made up some speaker mounts for the M35 to fit some Alpine Type R 6.5" front splits and 6.5" rear 2 way coaxial speakers. Made them out of some structural ply I had laying around. These will finish up with the speaker sitting close up to the door trim as the factory speakers do. Will finish them up and install them over the next few days. Pretty happy with the result so far.

Haha sure did. Foot flat 100rpm too early and it

Jumps down a gear.

With the lock up how well does this work? It would be good to do this just whilst tuning then we can put back to standard
