Hey guys, just joined to forum last night so i thought id introduce myself..

Daniel - 19yo - Based in Thornleigh, NSW

ive joined this forum simply because i love the Stagea M35

thought id join it before i bought one to chat with a few of you !

perhaps learn a little more about the car and get to know a few of you, hope to see some of you around the place aswell

Definatley wanting a stagea.. but cose im on P's the ARX-four may be out of the question with the bloody Turbo laws for P Platers

interestingly enough they havent banned the 250t RS... so that may be the path i have to head down in order to own this beast legally on p's

would love to know peoples thoughts on the topic and your thoughts on a 250t vs ARX-four

Cheers Daniel

theyre all banned to P platers under the turbo laws.

I bought my ARX on my P's and got away with it..

you may be able to apply for discretion which may allow you to drive it..

but i didnt get pulled over once..

first time getting checked 2 days ago and thats only coz he wanted to see if my exhaust had a cat,

either you love an ARX or hate it..

majority will say get a 250t, but i own an ARX and would never get a 250t lol

nah if you have a look on the 109 page list the RTA have only banned the ARX

its sooo dumb !... as im sure your well aware of haha ;)

i know what you mean about liking or not liking the ARX... i personally do like it

the only thing that concerns me are the black bumpers in regards to maintenance.

ive seen alot of other cars where that has faded and it looks shit house... how do you go about caring for that :)

what kind of products are out there to keep it looking new ?

Cheers, Daniel

i see..

black bumpers have never faded for me, its just a plastic rub guard..

just wash em and they come up fine.. but if u polish the car, steer away from em as it will leave PITA marks on them..

voice your questions(within reason)

everyones happy to help

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
