Apart from me and AlexCim, are there any other Melbourne stagea owners out there? If so, post a reply to this, as we should help each other out on various stagea issues :D

We should also get together sometime soon to look at all the different stageas!

Burns and i think michealquinn (spelling on that one) are from melbourne.

I was going to send a PM around with details to meet up, but that would be good to meet up, then we chat about things.

Plus, i would love to talk to Burns about his, having already done FMIC and stuff, could help me out.

I think there was a thread a while back stating where we were all from, maybe it needs to be dug up and updated?

That was I thread I started many months ago asking for any Melbourne owners of a series 2 - as I wanted to look at one before buying one. I didn't get many responses (ie non from series 2 owners!)

So I think it's better to start a new thread that's a bit wider.. :-)

actually, I just did a search and that post isn't around anymore. In fact, the stagea posts only seem to be staying around for a few months, then they are gone.....

I better start copying usefull stuff over to my web site so that I've still got it when I need it!!

How about we organize something now and if more people are from melbourne, they can just say.

As for me, i study during most days. Ill assume most people are busy weekdays, so i am free any weekend as long as i get about 1 weeks notice, prefer saturdays as i do homework sundays, but they are still fine.

What would people want to do? Just meet up and chat? BBQ? Cruise somewhere(then BBQ??). Hills view or Beach? etc etc

Suggestions would be good.

My preferences : On a nice day like today (may not be this arvo) cruise up into some BBQ place in the Dande's. Buy some meat on the way somewhere, snags etc. No drinking for me, P's still ;)

Cook em up and talk over food?

Hi.....my first post here.

When is the cruise looking at going ahead, as my stagea is sitting over in japan bout to be shipped over, so got bout 5 wks til l can come.

Are there many people in melb with stagea's, ll've seriously been looking for a month on my drive to uni everyday, and l'm yet to see one.

There is a guy on carsales selling his Stagea, he is in Glen Waverley area.

His number is on his listings, i contacted him and im gonna meet up with him next week some time. I really want to discuss his brembo brake setup...and some other stuff... but yeh, when we organize something, ill invite him along too (assuming he isnt already on this site and going to invite himself)

Others???? Now wonder we don't see too many around town!

Just some questions so i can put some ideas out

1. What dates are best for people, saturday or sunday?

2. Where is everyone coming from, dont want to make it an east meet is someone has to come from the west...could make it northern

3. Preferences on activity/event (BBQ, beach etc)

4. How soon should the event be?

My answers

1. Any days are fine, prefer saturdays

2. East side, Forest Hill

3. BBQ in hills (Silvan Res is a nice day place, page 122, H11)

4. I would pefer something in late september, gives me some time for some parts to arrive (more conversation topics :P)

Sounds like it will turn out to be a nice event...Post your replies

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
