What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[pipster11]

bought some yellow paint from supercheap (guessed the colour) and finally painted the rust under the mirrors and the knock on the front bumper

just loading it up atm for the trip to tassie on sunday

to the guys with the heat shielding, round the corners on the sheets and they will be less likely to peel off

[Big Fella]

just installed my whiteline 24mm adjustable rear sway bar.

gonna hit up the hills tonight and test it out,

[bubba]

Fitted some single piece braided brake lines to the front today, big thanks to Chuckie for the help (sourcing and fitting)

What a difference! Already had slotted RDA 350Z rotors, EBC greenstuff pads and a master cylinder stopped so while it doesn't stop as well as my 32, it does pretty damn well for a bus. The braided lines have improved braking response tremendously, instant bite!

GB Swaybars went on yesterday- before it got stupid hot in Sydney. Back was easy, Front-one prick nut was putting up a fight. Rear sensor had to be re-aligned to fit because of the adjustable bits on the bar. Other than that, all smooth and good! Great improvement when driving. Will drive more

[Daleo]

That's great, glad to hear it all went reasonably smoothly!

What sensor did you have to move?

Enjoy!

[PN-Mad]

On the LHS rear sway I think they added some sort of roll sensor. Its a Bosch unit, that measures body roll via the bar movement. Can only think it does something for the AWD system, as there is no stability control. Maybe ABS...?

pity they didn't strengthen the rear mounts... I've got the same ones as everyone else.

I replaced a sidelight this morning from the top. removed the airbox etc etc... very enjoyable. Hope it doesn't go again anytime soon- could they have found a harder to get to place?

[SABBAi]

Had all 4 gaurds rolled yesterday and fitted a remote oil filter kit. Finally, oil changes are gonna be easy!

[M I K E]

Had all 4 gaurds rolled yesterday

now dump it!

[SABBAi]

now dump it!

First I have to pull some camber out of the rear as it's eatting tyres silly fast. Also have to get some springs made up for the front so I can drop it and keep the spring rate I want. I'm also needing some front camber arms and some SA spec bolt-ons.....

Then dropped

[pipster11]

Made it to tamworth

The rad flush I did had moved all the crap about and the I think the rad is blocked, saw 111°c on the ecutalk display and had to start using the heater to cool it down

38°c out side and the heater on full = fail, just 1300 kms to go, temps are between 80 and 95 now, just don't have time to get it sorted cos we are tight on time :-(

We'll get there tho

yeah it works out which way the car is turning and how much power to direct to the front wheels

i wonder if you can spin the rears or get it sideways easier now as the car will sit flatter? or maybe it will be worse?
