i need to get a better photo but the wheels sit pirfectly and looks sweeeeeet with a spot of camber.

running about 2.5deg camber in the rear now

i have clearence in all direction, a nice ride height and i have taken a few corners and large roundabouts hard and she sticks like a trooper.

a little toe and caster and it feels much more planted at speed which is good. once i get the swaybars in i think i will be happy with the feel of the ride :)

i understand what your saying kiwi, but yeah its still a daily not a race car, i dont think i have done anything overly stupid or dangerous or disprespecfull to other dirvers and so on, if i was to track it or anything i would set it up differently and im happy to have the custom adjustment to do so, some people wont like the look but i love it and im finally happy with the fitment of my car, just annoyed that Varrstoen dont do anything lower than a +12 offset and im forced to use spacers. i would be chuffed it i could have gotten -10, maby for future wheels.

i know the tire wear is increased and i will probably get about 12000km flip them over and another maby 10000km then i need new rears.....and at $100 a pop im not fussed TBH

will get better photos up soon

Hung over and productive sunday

Picked up a pair of Stagea Impul front seats with rails of a fellow stag owner (dunno if he is on here)

if you are, sorry man was not talkative being quite hungover, but chears.

happy to get these because it allows me to have better seats with a deaper bucket but matching fabric so they blend in nicely like they came with the car.

Firts off it was good having reason to pull the seats out and clean under there....damn filthy.

lucky for me the carpets are still in really good condition

ok so this is the comparison, much better looking seat and although it doesn't really show it in photos, they really do hug you allot more.

they still need a good clean but so do allot of things, ill let the detailers do that soon enough.

the seating position is also lower, not crazy low but im definatly down a good inch or two

the fabric is in good condition and they look good in the car. im stoked with them

Nearly grabbed those seats of gumtree when I saw them for my stocky:) good price from memory just one of the bolsters needs a bit of re padding , those seats have a bit of a history been through a few stagea's now, looks good

I removed my leather electric seats (even less support than rs4s seats) and replaced them with the recaros so much better to sit in as you have just found out ;),just got to chuck in the takarta harnesses and fix a slow leak in the passengers side air lumber support , should be some really nice stags out on the next s.a cruise , my mates just quickly done up a rs4s over the last couple of weeks too ,wheels, coilovers, hyper gear turbs, fmic turbo back exhaust, nistune h/d clutch , c/f bonnet, just cams and injectors to go

My recaros (stagea option)

ok so it seams i need to continue my hunt for a decent headlight sealant. the cleaner i use is great but the supposed sealant in it...did nothing

also the new light i bought due to the old one getting water inside.....now has f**kign water inside.....f**k

IMAG2315_zps0wexbnxf.jpg

also removed inner guards over the front wheels to fine tweak the suspension. how she now sits and will stay.

  • 2 weeks later...

haha thanks man, these pics just remind me how much more room i have for poke and lowering.

sooo many things i want to do to the car, it just looks to me like "look at all the stuff im missing" ha

so my list of things to do visually are:

Days rear bar ad-on with black center

days carbon fiber frotn bar center cover

sideskirts of some description

dolphin front grill (still undecided)

dressy wheel nuts

twin chrome exhaust tips

eyelids

fix rust

slimline roofrakcs with thule wind deflector

also i have a colour scheme which i have admired since it blew up on the "scene" which will be the following

wheel nuts

brakes

rotors

engine bits

some subtle stickers

all in turquoise .... i.e...

combine these with some carbon fiber bits with my grey such as front bar inserts, wing maby...will look porn in my eyes

mintcollage_zps40caa34e.jpg

I could be of assistance with the Dayz rear lip. PM me for details if interested.

BTW, Nice rig

Seriously concidering importing on of these

i would get it in white with turquose lettering

IMG_3202.jpg

lettering in this colour instead of black

IMG_3241.jpg

maby even a neachrome center

IMG_3986.jpg

if only it didnt loose my airbag and essentially make it illegal.

would go well with my intended colour scheeme of white grey and turqoise.

what do you think, should do it?

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
