[Canberra] Just by chance as I stood up from my desk and looked over the partition out the office window just after lunch today (Monday) I seen a dark green C34 (S1?) going into the open air car park at the Airport.

Quite a few Stageas about yesterday.

Spotted a white M35 in Newtown around 11am.

Spotted a silver C34 and a Silver M35 (gave me a quick toot of the horn) on South dowling st in Surry hills around 445pm.

Spotted a silver M35 in the broadway shopping center car park around 530pm.

Spotted a Volvo 262C Bertone Coupe today on the Nepean Hwy.

Never seen one of those before.

Why would you make a 2 tonne 2 door Volvo.

He so wanted to be a Stagea driver.

They're 1 serious brick! Vince Harmon ( Volvo specialist) has one with a 350 Chev outside his workshop in Mitchell A.C.T. nearly everyday, he's a serious Volvo freak!!!

Silver C34 going through Hartley toward Lithgow on GWH, while a mate & I were having a feed at the Lolly shop cafe; getting ready to ride MTB's back to the top of Mt Victoria.

I think I saw you heading down the mountain while we were on the way up.

spotted 5 stagea's at the JDMST meet at the creek tonight :)

Did you spot mine, Theo? I saw you drive in (or at least I'm pretty sure it was you), so I went for a walk but couldn't find you. :(

Though I saw myself... was on the way to the City, and there was a Silverstone (my colour) 350Rx coming the opposite way out fo the city on the warringah fwy. Lowered and had wheels. Think it was a white on green plate.

spotted a Bayside blue S2 on fullarton rd, travelling towards the cross rd, would have waved but wasnt in the stag as i had just dropped it off

If that was around 440 it would have been me. Spotted twice in one day? No hiding for me.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
