welcome to the n00b pom!! Where abouts in Pomgolia are you from?

post photo's of snow on a stagea! They are actually designed for it, but hardly any of us convicts have ever even seen snow, let alone driven in it.

PS. LOL @ the volvo in the background. Do you ever try and get into the wrong car by mistake?

Holy Snapping Duckshit Batman!

Jeez d00d, when I asked for photo's I didn't mean go out at 11pm and take them. Thanks anyway but I feel bad now

So, onto the stag, is it stock? We seem to get a few blow in's from up your way. How comon are they in the Land Of The Great Unwashed? ( )

*edit* As for us being out in the sun for too long, You guys are the ones that sent us all down here as convicts. If it were us, we would have left all the convicts there and headed down here ourselves!

it was a blast to nip out in the snow, we dont get that much where i am in the midlands,

the stag is stock, gonna lower her and add a induction kit an prob lose the cat and the mahossive back box..and some 5 spokes,

ive tinted the rear lights, side repeaters and front indicators,do you guys keep the yellow fogs in the front lights...?

[Stinky Rooster]

Kinda depends, in some states they are actually illegal so it depends on where you live. I did (that is, before mine head butted a WRX)

Welcome English!

What I wouldn't give for Turbo-friendly ambient temps once in a while! I swear my car made 30% more power when It was in Sydney for winter...

I know the feeling. not looking forward to summer for the hot drives with climate control cranked up and the car struggling along all the time...

winter was so much fun.

Hey Art you're one of the few on here that gets to use the 'snow' feature a bit...does it work well?

I've tested my stagea on many wet roads and dirt roads and traction is unbelievably good - is it ok with snow?

[_Ryan_]

Looks pretty clean Art!

What i wouldn't do for some snow right now... i whinged all through winter for the fun, now its 30+ daily and my car hates it

Our cars are twins.

Enjoy!

on the topic of that stupid F&&king snow button !

I hate it cause every now and again it gets mysteriously turned on .. does it do damage to the tranny driving it around in that mode with not a snowflake to be seen ?

Yes it does.... and if left on for more than 3 days over 25 dgrees C, it will cause a rift in the space/time continuum, and we will all cease to exist!

Seriously, though, from what I have been led to believe, it can increase trans wear significantly, if used regularly with no snow. I could be wrong, I'm just the messenger!

[ssshonky]

well ceasing to exist is better for me than paying for a gearbox rebuild!

well I dont know for a fact how long its been on .. lotty drove from down south up so I am not

sure how the car felt to her! I only noticed it when I drove into work today.

I thought it just stopped the car from shifting into 1st gear and stopped it hitting hi boost?

it slurrs the shifts as well: inreased band wear, in theory...

[funkymonkey]

lol oh is that a volvo in the background? I honestly thought it was an M35 (taillights kinda confused me I guess)

do you have to pay a lot of road tax on the stag-barge? all my relos in the UK are constantly complaining about how much road tax they pay.
