Hey Guys,

Sorry I had to leave at Thirroul, Dad and I had stuff to do this arvo. Had a great time driving through the national park, and good to meet some of you from the forums/sau club.

Some photos from Audley

PS. The old man hasnt shut up about the silver stagea, he has already checked carsales etc lol

The Stagea's great!!! but there's a few things that really need to be done as precautionary measures for happy / no hassles motoring, best to do a little research on them.

IE: dump pipe/turbo - there's a cat in the stock one that holds a lot of heat on the back of the turbo which has a ceramic exhaust wheel causing early failure also drilling out the oil feed drain is a good mod too. ( turbo has a life expectancy around the 100K km - some of which last longer, I've just hit 100k myself and it's still good and I've given mine a bit of a flogging on the track etc) also cooling mods to suit Australian conditions wouldn't go astray!!!

then there's the usual wear and tear.

But all in all I recommend them!!!

also note: they're not easy to mod as the RB's due to the ECU (they have a VQ motor in them)

but it was a great day out, enjoyed the drive and got a lot of interest/complements on the car which was great!!! most car meets/cruises I go on people ignore it HAHA

Cheers, Theo.

Thanks to everyone who came today for a great day. I hope to see you all again in 2014 for a few more cruises, it was great meeting all those I got to. Also big thanks to James and Danny for organising everything!!

Here are a few photos my girlfriend took from the carpost-95739-13877876960543_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877115038_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877257417_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877393024_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877581132_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877868009_thumb.jpgpost-95739-1387787805604_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878179008_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878361971_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878572715_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878742851_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878851858_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878939329_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877879030041_thumb.jpgpost-95739-1387787918993_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877879325783_thumb.jpg

I love the last one. The cop following makes us look badass hahaha

Hey guys,

Awesome cruise, had a great day out! Here's one shot of many I took today. Got plenty to go through and edit! Should be up tomorrow night, I'll post some on here but most will be on my Facebook page.

Apologies if its crap. It's my first time filming and editing. Still have plenty to learn. !

Video was great and so are the photos :) No problem in editing at all! It was a great cruise, should do it again sometime!

Merry Xmas to all !!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
