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.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
