Hi,

I have just recently got myself a Stag (WC34 S1 - 1997), something practical for having a family and what will be a bigger dog when its grown up.

There are a few things on it that need changing and/or fixing.

The speedo and rev counter don't work, the speedo sits on 20km/h and the rev's just sit near zero flicking, has anyone had this issue and know what the problem is and how to fix it ?

And what globes do the parker lights take ? Mine has bluer ones in them at the moment and as far as I know, cops don't like that.

And does anyone have a stock exhaust, and how much would you want for it (in SA) ? The current one is loud and as I am just looking more for it to be a family bus, I don't really want it to be loud and don't need the attention loud exhausts bring.

Thanks

have a go at removing the dash and cleaning all the connectors...? i think it's a cheaper option (than repairing) if you buy a second hand dash unit. i may be wrong.

as for your parker lights they should be T10 wedge LEDs, ebay is your best friend here.

I chucked my stock exhaust a few months ago! You can make a decent flowing exhaust quiet with the right type of mufflers, mine has no cat and 3 inch whole way, one Hooker aero chamber and a berklee straight through at the rear. makes qround 300rwkw and tests at 87db at 3000rpm so its legal. the mufflers cost around 250 foe both from memory, just get them put in.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
