Decided to upgrade all the belts on my Stagea. Got a complete set of Gates belts coming: timing belt, water pump, ps pump, alternator. Guess what I'm doing next weekend? :)

Shopping around online, but can't find:

air diversion plate for grille-radiator for Stagea

cold air panel for pod filter for Stagea

Anyone know of a shop, person or sheetmetal mob who has or can make them for a Stagea?

Might just make a template up using cardboard if thats how everyone else has done it.

:(

That would be your best bet, i think i'll end up doing that to mine when i get around to it.

I saw Chad's (dstroy) set-up in his 32 and looked pretty cool, couple pieces of sheetmetal, welded together, one or two pipes running from front bumper vent, up through to under the pod, then enclose it, or even making it detatchable..

well look what i just found browsing around... lol

when one side skirt just isnt enough

Classic example of spending $$$ to make a car look worse than a bog standard car.....

Yep, can make a carbon fiber one Ruby, but not just cardboard template, actually use a mold to make it fit perfect for your exact car. just need some time to do it..lol

love this comment from adelaide now

The biggest revenue-raising fixed camera is located at the intersection of South Tce and West Tce in the city. Last year motorists caught speeding by the camera were fined a total $1,501,423.

So far this year, 73 people have died on the State's roads compared with 46 at the same time last year.

hmmmm seems the cameras dont save lives after all do they....lol

Has anyone else noticed that nearly all of the road deaths this year have been country/highway? So how are all the 50km/h speed limits, speed cameras and defect blitz's helping slow the road toll?

Perhaps Mike Joke Rann and his cronies should address the actual problems here ....

How long would that take? And what would the cost be? Interested in doing something 'different' :(

So they're claiming approx 5,900 motorists ran those lights? Thats approx 16 cars per day? I call BS.

Also, think of the number of emergency vehicles (fire/ambos) that contantly run those lights, being a major link to the south and south-west.

    • I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.   
    • Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.
    • Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)
    • Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
