well, the kidlings were absolute terrors tonight; Pete I cant see myself taking them out to an 'event' again for a while - very poorly behaved (I blame the crazy ex! :P)

Got so stressed trying to tell them off all night and get them to behave, in a crowd of ppl who paid good money to enjoy a sporting event.

As it turns out, the soccer was pretty bad...... poor form Adelaide United!! Great to see a 15yr old do well though.

good chatting again tonight Matty.

doubt we'll make the cruise - got to sort out WTF is going on with the front left brake line (got a slow pinhole leak). See if I cant get a set of braided lines made up today - see how busy morphett vale ABS is at lunchtime and if they can make up a pair for me. 3rd time now Ive had something "break" with the stock rubber R32 brake line hose on the front end of the Stagea (r32 calipers on 324mm rotors). Time to bite the bullet I suppose and sort this out once and for all.

Who's going to the xmas hardtuned cruise tomorrow night? Pete and I are most likely heading to the meet point, and suss it out from there.

I'll be heading down for a look, just near my house so too easy, hopefully the weather clears up.

seems a bit excessive, 2 kids do a skid, cops beat them up and then don't even get convicted of assault! what a joke!

This country is going backwards

go to america , where ever stop involves being throw to the ground , but I would be honest to say cops dont mess with people as much as here, unless your a total muppet , in LA you can run 30 over the limit as long as everyone is !!! and dont slam lanes like a race car.

but in usa if a police car gets behind you for more then 30 seconds , your going to get pulled over for a "check".... late at night , just you and a police car, your farked even if your clean and not speeding he will stop you

Big THUMB UP to ABS Morphett Vale to making me up a pair of front braided brake lines before they closed for the day.

Installed, bled, but not tested as yet.

Wont be doing tonights cruise, got people over now

Pity we wont meet up tonight brendan but at least your brakes are fixed.

By the way guys, Traffic lights are down at the henley beach and holbrooks road intersection. Power failure. Coincidentally, without the horrid light sequence in place cars are flowing through quite nicely :P hehehe

Undoubtedly the most practical thing for a Microsoft product then :laugh:

*runs and puts on tin foil hat so Bill Gates cant find me :P*

cool house Damo

as a kid in highschool we used to party in a old SAC minute man silo, the top was open but the bottom was flooded with deep nasty water and dark as hell. the police came after it got out of hand and after that they sealed it off with a concrete lid and rebar .. guess its hard to hide 100 cars in a empty paddock in the middle of know where on a friday night..haha

they would make a sweet house , damn thing is huge in the middle and a long way down . these days it wouldnt be far from town with the expansion of the city now.

in the midwest usa grain belt the're still is a bunch of old sites , I'm sure you could get one cheap as hell.

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
