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!

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
