Looks great Chris, I told you they were unflattering pics in Japan

Love the plate, and no that's not standard ride height, I thought we knew that?

Yes we did know that, but when Phil had it at the complaince workshop he said the suspension was standard...so meh. Sticker is soon to be replaced with a smaller one

Looks great Chris.

I agree with everyone else, the Japan pics didn't do it justice at all... I even like the way the wheels look on it, even though I'm not a fan of Chromies on a Jap car (unless they're on a VIP-style car like a Lexus LS400/Toyota Celsior). At least they're still kinda a "racing" style wheel.

Next time it rains, ill try to get some action shots of my Stagea. I wish someone else could learn to slide my car, so I could see it from outside

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'll volunteer for that Alex. But only if I use your car, not mine... Bring on a wet track or skidpan!

Oh yeah, see if you can get some more pics on a concreted area, it should give you (and us) a better idea of the ride height balance, although in my opinion (so far), it looks to be spot on!

That's pretty much exactly how I'd lower my car - just so the guards perfectly outline the curcumference of the wheels and tyres, if you get what I mean.

[AMS]

Yeah, Im pleased with the ride height Will take some more pics when I get some time...

Currently getting some quotes for a black respray Will let you know how I get on. I attempted to tune the TV yesterday...Went better than expected! Could get sound and a very blury picture, apparently I need an amplified ariel or somethng similar to tune it properly

Noice!! Congratz!

Hey Guys,

Got the intercooler installed and the boost upped to 10 PSI...

Now, I have promised my mate I would have a run with him once I did those mods, he has an FTO GPX Manual. Capable of 0 - 100 in around 7 Flat. Question is, will the Stagea do 0 - 100 in 7 flat?

[Ska]

FTO.....

BAHha HAh HAhHAh AHhAhHAhHA AH HAHHAHHA hAhHAhHAHH AHHAH HAhH AhHAhHAhHAHAH HAhHAhHAHHAHahhHAhHAH AhHAhAHhAHh AhHAh hahHHAhahhaHHAhahHAHAaaaaa!!

Sorry, but FTO that does 0-100 in 7secs is good, but what a girly car to mod, meh each to their own, tee he he he.

Just got home after what you could call a f**king hard run. One problem though, by the end of the drive, the car basically lost all boost Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Temp gauge didnt say is was above aveage, but pop the hood and wow! was it hot! Just a problem of temp? Or something more serious?

[AlexCim]

Heat soak in the intercooler could be an issue. Were you doing donuts/not much airflow through the IC?

[AMS]

hmmm...not really. I'll discuss more laters. Gotto go to work

[AlexCim]

Golden arches ey?

[EGA41T]

looks great chris, what size are those rims 17" or 18"?

[AMS]

18" Car seems to be back to normal now...Which is good. So just a heat soak issue you think?

[AlexCim]

Ok, here is a test.

Go cain the balls out of the car right, like you did the other night. Then, stick your hand in the intercooler intake hole (if looking front on the car, bottom right corner where fog light would be) and have a feel of the core, at the OUTPUT end. If the core is hot on that end, it was heatsoak.

I can FEEL massive difference on my intercooler intake and exit pipes, like, ones warm to touch, the others chilly to the touch.

But yes, above method.

BTW you could be getting R&R with the car on 10psi. I find my car is faster on 7psi then 10, so 7psi she stays

[StageZilla]

if it loses boost and wont make 1psi or more, then i'd check cooler pipes blowing off, though maybe not if u say it sorted itself again B)
