If i had a more than an hour sleep and wasn't so bloody hung over i would have enjoyed the day more.

The only sort of people i had checking out my wagon were old guys with their families, i think i've got the wrong sort of car?

If i had a more than an hour sleep and wasn't so bloody hung over i would have enjoyed the day more.

Just proves the point as to how much a 'sleeper' the Stagea really is.

now the only prob i had was some barstard putting there bloody maccars empty drink cup in the back of my car, ok so who ever that was i am going to to to to i ll find some thing

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

That was James! i saw him do it, and i went to jump out of my car to get him, but i was too lazy! :D

mmmmm yummy...a family car with balls :(. just take the stickers of the bonnet

you mean the 290 ones on the hump?

i think they'll be gone soon...apparently he's putting a shaker on it - can anyone explain to me what these things actually do?? :P

he just wants to keep spending money on in....hmmm i wonder if i can talk him into the twin turbo thing :lol: :P

Shakers are air scoops that poke through the bonnet and sit ontop of the intake manifold (which in turn is on top of the engine) it feeds cold air into the intake, when the engine moves side to side the scoop goes with it "shaking"

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
