Looking for the owner of a red stagea, gets seen everyday between garden city and the Ipswich motorway. What mods have you got, my father in law keeps saying how quick it is compared to mine.

During the last week & a bit?

Lol. What mods have you got? Got a power figure?

Hi flowed stock turbo, free flowing exhaust, Pod & a dodgy bleed off type boost controller. Last week I was going up the hill near the stadium & the wastegate thought it was a good idea to stay open... the gauge read ~25psi when I knew what was going on, besides the sudden loss of traction from the rear :)

The next few months will see a total upgrade:

Link ECU

A secret modded Intercooler (will tell what it is after I prove a concept)

Garret GT3076R

Mandrel bent 3 1/2 inch system w/Varex muffler

Bosch 044 & fuel regulator

550CC JECS Injectors

This will be tuned for ~300KW

I'm using the Stag as a test bench for my '85 Bluebird. Once it's running sweet, the whole donk is to be swapped over (bluebird has RB20DET atm).

A long LONG time after that, I've got another RB25DET that will be a crank up rebuild (I have access to a 6 axis CNC machine for billet fun) & I'll be hunting for the 900-1000hp mark :)

Forgot to mention the Stag is my work car :P

Sounds like fun, mine was tuned upto 306hp before one of my rings let go, I'm half way through pulling the engine out.

That's gonna be a quick blue bird.

The Bluebird weighs ~900 KG. It's been a project for the best part of 3 years.

Looks a bit different from this photo today

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
