Installled new head unit. Working well and much better sound.

What connector is that? it was connected in the old head unit

If that head unit is like mine should have wires in the loom labelled key1 / key 2. Tap into that connector red to key 1, green to key 2 and yellow to ground.

Speaking of which, in what was perfect timing my factory Bose unit died (at least the AC was stuck at 18°) . It'd been playing up for a few months, not playing nicely with the Grom USB2+. Luckily I'd already gathered the required replacement parts and had them sitting there ready. Cheap Chinese Android head unit with a PAC ROEM-NIS2 interface unit (because i'm lazy)

It's a shame that it doesn't fix the actual part of the intake that causes all the restriction.

Yes steering wheel control plug . Previous owner of my stag had it all working to a degree i replaced headunit and have since lost all controls

whether it is possible that the connector is somewhere else

Because I dont have buttons on steering wheel ;)

From memory the plug has about 6-7 cables running to it from the loom only 3 operate the steering wheel controls or are needed ? I could be wrong in saying this but most cars from base model to top of range have same looms and plugs in place it just a matter of weather they utilise them for that model

It's barely a restriction though. Think of those whale pen15 intakes on Hondas. It still only goes to the throttle body inlet size.. same goes with the turbo inlet... it's only gonna suck what it can spool... if that makes sense. It's more on the compression side that it really matters

Having a huge chunk of air sitting there ready to go will help improve response/spool.

Good lucking pushing over 200kw without swapping the lower intake pipe. Where with an after market one you can push over 300 so I think it is rather restrictive

You obviously haven't removed the suction pipe yet...

Context is more along the lines of having a daily driven than chasing powaaah. Velocity stack on end of turbo ftw then.

Ps found the link to the 2009 post and no. Haven't removed that part yet.

So as some of you know last Thursday my car was stolen from my driveway, it was found on Friday morning crashed into a tree. I’m pretty gutted as I have put a lot of work into it. Here are some photos of the damage caused

The same day that I came from the salvage yard, this was waiting for me at my desk. It’s the grill that I ordered from Japan in November

That is fkn terrible. Arseholes.

Nobody saw anything?

Presume it is a write off?

I asked neighbours, and my street there is normally someone outside, nobody saw anything.

It is getting assessed by the insurance company today, but i dare say it will be a write off

Edited by DrLui

I grieve for you.. buy it back and sell off the parts or put towards another stag?

If the insurance co operate, i do plan on buying it back, keeping what i want, selling what i dont, then buying another and starting again

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
