Hi Guys, posted this in the suspension section, but it probably belongs here more....

I have a little ongoing test for the Stagea handling improvements. One of my heighbours has a Forrester GT manual (exhaust & boost), we both leave for work at similar times and travel the local winding road which has 15 corners in 1 km. When I first got the Stagea I couldn't keep up, he would gradually get away no matter how hard I pushed. When I put the stabiliser bars on I could just hang on, with a bit of effort. He was impressed. I upped the boost last week (to 0.7 bar) and I could then pull up to him on acceleration between the corners. This morning, with the Bilsteins in, he was slowing me up in some of the corners. He was mightly impressed.

Next week, if we meet up, I will have the rear Bilsteins in and the A/F ratios tuned, so I will lead for the first time and see if he can keep up.

:P

Ah well, another peed off neighbour, the Forrester just can't keep up anymore! I waited for him this morning at the end of the usual run through the corners. The first thing he said was, "even the farken exhaust is still farken standard". Thinking about the difference it made to his Forrester.... "What's it going to be farken like when you get a farken big one?"

I think that means he is impressed: :)

PS; every sentence had at least 2 profanities. :(

Hahahaha, well done SK, I wish I was there to see his face :(

Near my place I see a silver GT Forester in the mornings, and she (female driver) always gives it a squirt when she passes me. But where we usually met is about a 1 min drive from my place and the Stagea is still stone cold... That means I have to restrain myself and not put the foot down :)

One day the timing will be right, and she'll feel the wraith of the straight six !! LOL

J

Muhuhaha.

I got an odd look from a wrx wagon the other day, the guy just stared me down while he drove past. Didn't worry me though, i don't have to drive a car with an engine derived from Nazi Germany

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
