Hey guys

My stagea will be going up for sale soon so I'm thinking of organising a cruise , I get back from Perth just before new years so it can be anytime in Jan

I'm keen to go for a drive too so I'm thinking a weekday would be ideal but I know most ppl work

I won't post route details because I've been jewed over before

Thoughts?

It's been a long time since the last Qld cruise, so I'm up for a drive. Weekday is mostly OK with me, although less chance of emergency cropping up if it was a weekend.

You may remember there was an attempt at one in July/Aug but didn't get off the ground. Hopefully there's enough interest amongst Stagea owners this time.

Who would be keen for a meet and then head up to the drags on a wed night?

24 February 2012

Those are the possible dates, entry is $40 to race and that's for driver, car and 1 extra (so $20 each if you bring a mate) extra spectators are $20/each

1/02/2012 is a wed, who would be up for that? Say meet on the gold coast at 4, yatala servo for 4.30 I sh and up there 5 I sh?

That's sounds pretty good. Funny, just today I was thinking of suggesting combining the 2.

First couple of dates would be too soon, IMO. 18th or 25th of Jan would be my pick if everyone wants to do the drags. Otherwise almost any weekend for just a cruise.

My Stag should be back on the rosd shortly. Will try to make it to the cruise when date is finalised. Failing all else, I'll bring the new Caldina (Petie's 'baby car') for you guys to critique... assuming I'm not required to be elbow deep in faeces again: I have a 2 week old son now... ;)

About 10 people a cruise does make.

Looks like the majority only want a weekend cruise. Maybe those of us keen to try out the drags can do it on a Wed nite sometime soon.

Hey Tom, did you want to start arrangements on date & route before January slips by without us realising? Is a poll worthwhile or throw up a date & see if it sticks?

Hopefully more will come on board when more details are known.

Cheers, Leon.

PM sent.

I'm up for a cruise pending my car running again. Maybe 3 weeks time ish. Cruise might be my run in though.

Run in? What did you have done to your motor?

I'm getting off my run in tune shortly, done about 3500 k's with 3 oil drops and retune in between.... the first rebuild I had done a few months back was a complete failure... tuner blamed builder, builder blamed tuner.... lost some serious coin there, 17K later and I'm looking forward to getting a full tune done... booked in for the 16th Jan.

I'm keen too, just sort out the dates... if it's getting into Feb I'm at risk. Got my first child coming around the middle of Feb.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
