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.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
