[STAGE1]

I know he hasn't done anything to it as yet. Should be good fun (and legal) no mater what the outcome.

cheers

Phil

[Whooby]

My $$ would be on Phil, As the S15(standard) I've seen haven't been much to rave about. Compared to the Stagea anyway.

Shall keep it in mind

Hey Phil,

You got the cheat sheet on the turbo? Or your running a tricky boost control. A good launch at about 21/2 shoud blow thw pretender away.

But I will tell you my son's S13 went 300hp on the dyno last week, and that was raw, fine tuning is expected to get another 30. I think with the power/weight ratio the 13 would really s on a Stag.

I know I cant keep up with the 13 on 10 psi, I am just too heavy. But safe.

[Whooby]

Yes Hugh, but your son's S13 has alot of work done, 300HP is an awesome figure. Should be enough to make it go sideways

My Celsior was quicker than a S14 with a cooler and exhaust and it weighs over 1.8t!!!!

Even though the Stagea has more weight a stock S15 vs. a stock Stagea(S1) may be fairly matched. But Phil's has some goodies.

Even if I don't run it'd be good to go the drags again.

Its only meant to go slideways. LOL Its a pig to drive like a normal.

[STAGE1]

He hasen't had it on the dino as yet. I have been in the passinger seat and it did feel quite quick.

Turbo 2lt auto at 1300kg aprox verses Turbo 2.5lt auto at 1700kg.(and 240hp atw but don't tell him )

I have to admit the power/weight has got me a littel woried.

cheers

not trying to psych you out or anything phil cause i know you got some goodies, but i can understand your a leetle bit jumpy i assume the s15 is a manual maybe he'll stall it , and by the way i hope your daughter is going to tape it cause if i cant see it live i want to see it posted

[66yostagea]

If you can wind up the boost for a super fast launch, well 9 or 10 on launch should see him off.

Not sure of the S13 weight, but it has nothing superfluous. Air Con, fan, seats, sound deadening,spoiler.power steering,soon to be C/F bonnet, boot, guards.No dash, radio or heater. If it dont make it go, heaveho.

Not promising but we might get there.

[STAGE1]

It is an auto but it is a type R whatever that means. I think it has something to do with it having a slightly larger ballbering turbo than standard.

I am running 12lb of boost at the moment but would like to get it back to 999 to have a power run on the dino just to make shore all is well.

I will have the camera there on the day so I will post up a few shots (if I can remember how to do it).

I may be able to get some video of it to but I am not shure weather I will be able to post it up here.

I will do my best to keep the stagea flag flying high.

Cheers

Phil

Go the family wagon!! Happy boosting!

I'd love to see the video footage as well if you get it recorded.

Post it up on YouTube, then link it here. You can even get it to show directly on this page if you put [ video ] and [ /video ] tags on each side of the web link.

Example:

[ video ] "link to video on YouTube" [ /video ] (Ignore the spaces, of course...)

[66yostagea]

The S13 was here yesterday and I have a copy of the dyno results.

273.1 RWHP at 20psi, but leaked off to 16psi. The plate over where the cold start used to be has a broken stud and this was where the leak is.

We wont be at the meet onext week. We need to fix the leak and get the body kit fitting better.

Personalized number plat should be ZIP TIE.

Hey Phil

Why don't you guys come to the SAU QLD Drag day the following week?

Mick

[STAGE1]

Sorry could be in Toowoomba that weekend. But if not I will be there just to watch though.

Cheers

[STAGE1]

Hi

Its D- day and it looks like it could rain

We will be going anyway. I think he is trying to put me off by talking of a 14sec run.

Will be putting up pitchers ASAP after the runs

Cheers

[STAGE1]

Hi

Well that was a waste of time we prayed our money at the gate got to the staging lanes at 4.00 had six drops of rain so they called it off. Of cores now at 4.45 it is fine and looks as though that is how it will stay for the rest of the night.

This was as close as we came to racing. At least I beat him off the track (that is his car behind mine) LOL

We have set a new date Sat Jan 10 2009 for our grudge match.

I will be out there next Saturday 20 to watch

Phil
