The way you've cut your front bar looks good. i might change mine to look like that to get more flow onto my FMIC too.. have to relocate the number plate obviously.

And of course you've made everyone with an RS4 jealous. that looks awesome. well done

thanks guys :P

i bought the stagea to keep a low profile with cops and people in general (theives) so im unsure if i want it in a magazine but maybe ill change my mind :)

i want personalised plates but then again i dont cause people remember them so easily and usual bullshit of jeleous people damaging it when parked etc

so its gonna be nice and quiet (well thats the plan) and subtle :) but once i drop the clutch it will be abit obvious it aint stock :D

ill be cruisn in perth very very soon and i dont mind taking people for a spin if they want :)

with the 350rwhp figure i got from the 26 in the vl and now i got a couple of new mods im hoping to get a high 12 sec pass at the track but thats on street rubber :aroused: not bad for a cruise liner :)

anyway thanks for the comments

I'm sure it will be a giggle in wet and wish I was in Perth to go for a ride.

Oh, your low profile idea doesnt work, RB26 in Stagea is not a low profile formula.

Love ya work.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
