Got hit by two dozey drivers inside one hour in the Stagea on Monday...No structural damage but plenty of $$$$s worth (tailgate, rear bumper skin etc). First a woman decided to take off while looking out her drivers window and went straight up the back of it; she just assumed as the road was clear to the right we'd have gone... Then on the way out to Bocchinos for a quote on that, I stopped for a second in/across the driveway of some business, a bloke walked out, looked straight at me, then got in, looked out the passenger side and reversed straight back into the rear quarter of the Stag. He thought I would have gone by then...

What the hell am I missing, the level of driving ability here is monumentally shithouse. Seriously...go forward; look forward! Go back, look behind you! Not go forward and look far away to your right, go back and look down the road to your left!?!

Any reason why your pulling the head off and changing the head gasket??

yeah unless you're chasing a million billion KW I wouldn't bother.

Stock unopened motor, big turbo, few other things, 350kw.

    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
