Hey guys, getting my 1999 Manual Stagea in about 2 weeks, and have been told i have to go over the pits.

What are the queues like,

Which pits to avoid, any you recomend,

What are they going to pick on.

Any other info would be helpful

Ring up and make an appointment at Midland or Welshpool? (I think.. I've only made appointments at the Midland pits) dpi.wa.gov.au website is your friend :P

Haven't taken my Stag over but all the normal things apply.. tread/fluids/lights/leaks/seatbelts/etc.. just make sure everything is neat and tidy and don't try to hide anything.

Does it have any mods?

Welshpool and O'Connor work on a first in first served basis and open at 07:30....I rocked up at 06:00 and was out by 09:00 or 09:30, can't remember, was only one car in front of me.

All centres treat you about the same and they're all busy, especially busy with hail damaged cars flooding through.

Stop into a car was before you go, and give the engine bay a massive spray (its begging for one ...) :P

Get under the car and give the underside a good wipedown... make it look nice and clean. They really like that. Make sure all your hoses and lines are in good condition with no splits etc (they will find the tiniest split). I go to the Welshpool one and rock up at 6am too since you have to wait like 2 weeks if you wanna book an inspection at Warwick or something :P There's always another car there already lol and it gets BUSY

Oh and I went at like 4pm once and it was pretty empty, I was the last car to be inspected so sometime in the afternoon might be good too.

If the coilovers aren't adjustable they should pass fine, make sure the exhaust isn't too loud and has a cat fitted, and make sure the pod filter is bracketed down. If the bov is atmo. venting, chuck a stock one on.

Post some pics when you get them :)

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
