Hi to all, I'm new to forums as such, but not new to the intranets....

Im in TTG SA, bought a manual 1999 Stagea Rs4-s with 62,000 on the clock from the great great guy at Iron Chef imports and have never looked back!

best 15,000 bucks i ever spent!

I'm so happy with the car that i haven't even thought of any mods yet as no one can seem to beat me through the hills. I have never raced on a track but would like to have a go at some stage.

Various fellow Adelaidians have told me time and time again to get onto these forums for reasons like car cruises etc so here i am!

I see so many Stagea's on the road now.... Half the drivers hardly look like they have the car for enjoyment morso a daily driver! Having said that i drive mine to work everyday :-P.....although i have no mods i drive the crap outa this thing when i need to and it has never let me down! It's my baby. dont tell my misses that though...

Get in touch with me on here or msn me([email protected]) if not i will keep an eye out for all posting's and threads for cruises etc. Or if i see you on the road driving on other direction i will make an abrupt maneuver and follow you and hunt you down!!

im so noob i need to figure out how to make a picture on the side for myself!

See you all around!

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
