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 :D

I'll volunteer for that Alex. But only if I use your car, not mine... :D 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! :D

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.

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

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? :D

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 :D 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?

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 :)

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
