from what ive heard, you cant have anything in the car when it is getting transported...is this true?

That is true.... I transported my Stagea from Brisbane to Adelaide via Adtrans; could definately NOT have anything in the car.

Bummer, Ive had a local company tow/crack my old Cel's front bar so just warning you.

I hope it all works out for you though, dont let my comments scare you.

Let us know :O

Yeah we probably don't need to know thanks Alex :) , all we can do is wait and see, having it smashed a second time before you get it would be too much though I think!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

The insurance claim on my front bar has just been authorised WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It saves me $900 that would otherwise have come out of my own pocket

...now i just have to decide what to do with the spare $900 that ive got sitting around.

hmmm.....front mount?....power fc?.... BOV?....aftermarket grille and eyelids?.... what to do?

today was the day, ive had an extremely busy day running around picking up cars and pulling off wheels and taking them to get tyres then putting the wheels and tyres back on the car, im exhausted and i only got a chance to take a couple of photos...

...my new stagea while i was "TRYING" to get it onto the car trailer (oh and thats my grandad in the photos if you were wondering)

Fantastic! How much better does it look in Australia! (strange thing to say) But yeah, it looks hot, can see how there were issues with the front bar and transport.

You must be really stoked to be in possession!

Enjoy it

Luke

edit: pics were working...

Arh, you were just resizing, nice move!

yeah, as much as i love my camera phone, the photos it takes are too big to post and still have people with dial-up be able to load the page

...still havnt figured out how to turn on the foglights in my front bar yet.

Congratulations! When do you get it registered? I assume that is why you are putting it on the trailer.

if all goes well i'll have it registered on thursday...fingers crossed

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
