LOL, lets just say the fastest Stag isn't a 35!

I think we should invite the leg's

OK lets get one thing sured up with all this bravado...mine's bigger,mine's faster,mine's fastest (SAPOL must love these threads)

PLEASE don't let the Stagea section become a defacto SAU skyline thread....have we all forgotten recent events that

put SAU members up in lights ? ...hint from a wise OLD monkey: write your posts like SAPOL are reading it..

When you are talking about rwkw & speed/fastest in a cruise thread you are asking for unwanted scruitiny...believe me, you are giving "the man" valid reason to "act in the public interest"

BTW "the OLDS" stagea is most probably the slowest & we are most probably the slowest drivers...gladly rwkw doesn't = IQ

**gets off soapbox**

OLD Mark

PS ...sorry Robbie but I am just speaking my mind....

^^ well said. Thats why there should be a mallala stagea day :thumbsup:

Totally agree & we will be there to support you guys flexing your muscles

...in a cruise thread it can lead people very quickly, to the wrong conclusion...

O'Mark

Well said olds mark, I have said before, my 3 year old daughter comes with me on these cruises, and my pace will reflect that, there will be no speeding, hooning or skids.

If that is what you want, go somewhere else, this is a "cruise", we'll take some great driving roads with some great scenery, some nice spots for photos, and a nice bakery at the end to fill up on great food.

I know the harmless banter is a bit of fun(I may or may not have joined in) but let's save the "mines bigger than yours" for the track, that'll sort the girls from the ladies!

I suppose not everyone that'd read this thread would know were only joking, only the ppl that have been on one of our cruise's would know that. Could be taken out of context.

So who would be best to organise sutch a day where the 35 owners will hang their heads in shame?:nyaanyaa:

p.s. I bags the spot at the back of the convoy, it'll be little Brooke's first cruise and I plan on taking it nice and sssslllllllooooooowwww

Ive heard rumours that there might be a John Bowe training day at Mallala in November - unsure if it'll be an SAU:SA organised event or not but Id say that would be a great opportunity to ensure that none of us have to hang our heads in shame :thumbsup:

Yeah I was going to suggest we invite the legnums too!

exactly, these cruises are a bit of fun, and the regulars(ie the shit stirrers) all know each other by now, but its always hard to gauge the level of sarcasm/banter/truth when the words are just typed on a screen

p.s. I bags the spot at the back of the convoy, it'll be little Brooke's first cruise and I plan on taking it nice and sssslllllllooooooowwww

sweet, that makes it soooo much easier for me, at least if i can see a bright yellow beacon of shining stagea, then i know the whole cruise is still with me, and it isn't just me going for a drive by myself

Bit of a shame we can't give each other a well deserved ribbing without worrying about SAPOL...

The good thing about keeping the meet point out of the thread I guess, but in general we're a well behaved bunch that enjoy their cars and enjoy giving each other shit. If we can't do that without worrying about SAPOL maybe we need a private members only area?

I'm guessing this has only come up OLDS because you've got experience running a lot of cruises and you know what SAPOL can be like, I just find the whole thing ridiculous and unnecessary.

/end rant

Oh and I'm keen for Mallala or whatever. Looking at putting a couple of things together shortly for Pure Motorsport, so might be getting the car out a bit more.

baaa haa we must live in russia or something always looking over the shoulder for big brother watching!

like its been said before we own family wagons my 2nd daughter will only be a couple of weeks old so driving will refelect my respect of my family and other road users, besides the fact that my car is totaly stock and unmodified in any way just like all other users on this forum,bla bla

this is why i suggested a malla day, good fun a bit of a laugh ,legal and safe,

ummm do m35s go round corners ha ha :nyaanyaa: and i mean at the posted sign limit of course :cheers:

hmmm ill get Rose out there on the track day that might upset a few of the boys :thumbsup:

and the later on in the month for the sunday drive the better gives us time to have and get settled with new bubs.

Yes you are right, it is sad but it is how others "could read" your posts & "others" do read them...At the beginning of this year I had SAPOL show me threads & posts in different forums...that is our way of life now...sorry !!! What & how you write it is most certainly up to you...I am not "the man"...but I have counselled many who couldn't understand why they were "singled out/picked on" (by SAPOL) at a cruise/on their way home.

Equally, what do I know....

"that silly OLD guy"

alright guys, i've posted up a thread in the VR4 Legnum forums extending the invitation for the cruise. We'll see what sort of response we get and how many leggy's we can get to tag along!thumbsup.gif

i can just see ppl looking at the cruise going "look at all the volvos, camry and magna wagons" :rofl2:

hey robbie ask the leg boys if they would be interested in a joint la la day

fixed

Well, it looks like the date is decided, 25th September is the day.

Due to other events being planned and new arrivals on the way this seems to be the best option.

If you are still keen to come cruising send me a pm and I'll message you the details before the cruise( generally one week prior)

There has been overwhelming support from the legnum crew, should see 10+ out on the day, so we have to make sure we represent the stages properly, both in numbers and behaviour!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
