Happyish on the new year. Had a big night for new year, but our Stagea did a head gasket on the Tues. before. Got head off Friday just (big hang over!!). Checking out turbo today and found a big crack running out waste gate hole, so SSStagea can I buy your exhaust housing off you if it has no cracks?!

[SSStagea]

Haven't had a full check over the turbo yet. Got it off the car today and looks like the bearings inside have let go and caused the exhaust wheel to rub on the inside of the housing.

We managed to get the car home, just made sure that it didn't go above about 2500rpm and took it easy. Had nowhere to leave it up in Bundy and since I can't afford a new turbo for a while, I prefered it be home with me so I can do other things to it while I wait.

As for things getting better for the New Year, the very last nut we undid to remove the turbo from the manifold snagged and sheared the stud, so now that need doing as well.. Yay for a happy year.

And I will check out the turbo for you Skidkid.

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.

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.

Excellent, Good luck (with yuor new project ...and the cleanup)

So you are moving ...that means maybe we need to organise a meet(aka BBQ )when you get a little of free time ...)before you start to trash your stag against the middgets ...

Haha, relax Freddy.

The Stag will not be doing anything with midgets.

Perhaps on a lonely Sunday morning however.....
