Haha, relax Freddy. The Stag will not be doing anything with midgets. Perhaps on a lonely Sunday morning however.....

Hi Adam, welcome to the SAU boards. A mate of mine had a similar problem, but with an RS. It happened just before the car was due for a service, so he took it to a dealership that was prepared to look at his car. They did a "factory reset" using Consult 2 and the problem was gone. Also, if you have lights on but the car won't turn over, you may have turned on the Fog lights by accident. If you have, the car will squeal at you when you try to get out. The fog light is located on the inside of the light/indicator stalk. Just turn the rotating part of the stalk towards you. If that does not help... I dunno... Sorry.

LOL, handrail. Yeah, and steps... what about an escalator? Thanks man, the block (no house) is in Nyora (2.8 Acres). About a 30sec drive from the speedway, yet very little noise thanks to the trees! The speedway is a bit smaller than I thought it would be and is what you could call a "tight" track for Sprint Cars... Can't imagine the Stag sliding around it... no wait... yes I can Just gotta throw down the turf in the backyard this weekend and a quick cleanup, then it is photos and listing. Hopefully be out before March.

Sorry to hear about SSStagea's new year troubles. I went through similar turbo issues last year BUT it did lead to getting my HiFlow My New Year has been a mixed bag; +'ves Installed my PA11-NIS iPod adaptor for the stock stereo... Just brilliant! Needed it to be as neat as possible, which was achieved Did the tiptronic mod (changed the +/- around)... Nice. Now I just have to get the gears to change when I want them to Fixed the silver disc (could be moved, which I did not like) Installed "white" LED's into the parkers to match the white of the Xenon's... Looks great and drivers side parker works everytime now! Bought a large block of land Have to prep current house for IMMEDIATE sale -'ves Found fresh oil has leaked from my 'cooler outlet pipe. Turbo has been known to make a LOUD Rrrr-ing sound when under full boost sometimes (oil line probs? - have not yet had the time to look) Dog injured back leg (torn muscle and tendon *ouch*) Have to prep current house for IMMEDIATE sale. Anyway, there ya go.

Bloody Hell Dan! I hope you didn't encounter any speed bumps along the way. That 1800kg's definitely puts a strain on your rear suspension. Nice towball setup though Who did the fabrication and install?

Heh, expect to be re-educating your neighbor at least twice then.

Interesting. Remember that the only cat I have is on the dump, my front pipe has deleted the large cat. I filled 2 tanks with Vortex98 and let me tell you, my car reeked on rotten eggs, my mate told me that I blew a puff of black smoke when changing gears on high boost and I got ~20km's less for each tank. After having the next 2 tanks filled with Ultimate, no more smells or black puffs & my economy is back to 620-640km's until the light comes on. My last 2 tanks have been of Vpower & have been the same as with Ultimate. I guess that Vortex is a dirtier fuel after all.

Yeah, I figured as much... would love to know who does it. I think it looks pretty cool, particularly on a black Stagea (Jetwreck? Still hate the Pokemon?). Does anyone know how much light these "ring" LED's give? How far down the road would they light up?

Sorry, I don't recognise them... But may I ask the same question of these for the M35?

Yes I do, mate. Yes I do. But I get more curious stares than I do comments.

rFactor for me. If you are in Victoria, make your way to Red Mist Racing - well worth the money. They have rFactor linked with 10 car setups (monitor, pedals, F1-style cockpit & wheel). The last time we went, I invited one of my mates who absolutely kills Forsa. He ended up coming last in the first 2 races and was 40 secs of the leaders lap pace because he would either crash or play in the sand. For all those who worship Gran Turismo, how can you call it the most realistic "simulation" when there is no vehicle damage? (Worn tires to not count a vehicle damage). You want a challenge, Play rFactor with a full cockpit with all vehicle aids turned off on the 1972 (or is it 1976?) LeMan circuit with 2008 F1 cars. THAT leaves you sweaty and shaking. Everything else I have played (started playing driving games in 1984) on all formats simply pales in comparison.

Interesting story from The Pakenham servo. I was waiting in line to pay for my fuel when I realised there was an S1 driver standing behind me who had just finished washing his Stag. When we reached the attendant, she proceeded to tell us how much his car (S1) looked like a Volvo and how much my car (M35) looked like a forester! We gave each other a "wow, you have got to be kidding me" look and left... Just after she started sprouting off about the VE wagon (which I thin looks great n dark colours). Gotta say, if those are the comparisons, I probably would have it the other way around.

Probably because the wagon looks much better than the sedan. It was a marketing exercise after all.

Actually, no. Would have been a good effort though My uncle never uses sarcasm (he would rather make fun of someone straight up or make an offensive joke at the persons expense). That's the thing, if he was using sarcasm to rile me up, I would of had a laugh at my expense (if he was successful).

Funny huh? At the family Christmas gathering, I was unloading the car when my uncle (who works for ProDrive) came up to me conversation as follows; Uncle: Hi Cam, good to see you. Hey nice Volvo! Me: (shaking hands) Merry Christmas.... but it is not a Volvo Uncle: I never thought I would see the day when you would own a Volvo! There is no need to hide it, they are a good car. I know a Volvo when I see one. (walking around to the back of the car) No other car has a rear end like this! Me: Well then, what does the badge say? Uncle: It is a sad day when you have to re-badge to hide your Volvo shame. Me: (guiding him to the driver's seat) Would I also re-program the on-board computer to display in Japanese? Uncle: I see... I could not help but refer to it as a Volvo for the rest of the day in elevated tones

Like which one? If price is not an issue, why not talk to Ben @ Northshore or Prestige ( http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul....php?storyid=23 ) about importing one. Neither will take you for a ride and will find exactly what you are after (may take a while for a late 2003 though).

Spotted white S1 with dark R34 rims parked on the corner of Hallam Rd & Delacombe drive in Hampton Park. Definitely stood among all the Falcodores

If that is the case. Definitely Northshore Prestige. Very good quality cars & workman ship with GREAT aftersales service.

*cough* ECU *cough* Interested in an eManage Ultimate?

Cheers guys. Have a great Christmas and enjoyable New Year I love Christmas

Perhaps your foot just got heavier? "LOUD NOISES" can do that!

Agreed. That is where mine came from Ben will ship it to your door if you are in the Melb Metro area.

Soooo, like this then? Or perhaps.... Sorry guys, not 1 GT wing (let alone a triple stack!) that I can find ... Mustn't have been trying that hard

Ewwww Looks like it was dragged out of the shower drain

Not sure if they do it yet, but perhaps Kamikaze? All the M35's I know of are complied in NSW or QLD...
