What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[WGNPWR]

Got told I can't drive for two weeks fml.

And it's not like I'm able to afford parts to mod the car while it's off the road too >.<

[andy65b]

Old ones where Buggered! Might explain the misfires and Flames out the exhaust.

Flames.....flames.....flames are AWESOME!

I know, Look on Peoples faces are priceless

But it took heaps of the power away!

[Sunkist]

Flames.....flames.....flames are AWESOME!

i think ur write craig plans.....

[bubba]

decat + atmo bov + plenty of fuel on overrun =

[Sunkist]

what does an atmo do to help with flames?

[bubba]

You are dumping air out of the system that has already been metered and had fuel added for, excess fuel in to hot exhaust = flames (especially when you give the throttle another stab and it gets hot gasses rushing up behind it).

I should have never told you... now you have a flamin big head

I had my Stagea bodywork modified today ... thanks to an old driver in a Pulsar!!!

And 10 days before my wedding too!

[zei20l]

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

ohh i didnt realise you sent me a faulty one back. awesome!

I presume you are joking.

You were going to take it apart while work with your mate to see if you could adjust the signal/response to hopefully get rid of the throttle restriction.

As such it "didn't matter" that it was causing a high idle as it was just going to be pulled apart anyway.

Hence why we swapped my TB with the V35 TB you had.

If you are joking mate, I have missed it (just had an "interesting conversation" with my boss )

not joking. anyway too late now and dont want to get into it in a public forum.

How bad ?

Despite it being (in my opinion) a hard hit, the air bags didn't deploy, but it was a side swipe impact afterall. So I guess on that basis, it will be cheaper to repair now that I don't need replacement airbags.

Here are some pics ... warning, the following picture may offend.

The image doesn't show well, but the fender is concaved right in and the plastic shroud rubs the wheel.

If I haven't mentioned it already, was an old guy who pulled out of a side street into my lane. I really had nowhere to go and not enough braking distance. Tried to get around him, and almost made it, otherwise it would have been more front end damage and airbag deployment.

[Dunc]

Shit Roo. I doubt he couldve damaged more panels if he tried! Probably fortunate the airbags didn't deploy. Main thing is you're okay

[zei20l]

ahh damn! glad youre ok mate

i think they need to do annual testing of older drivers from 70 now.

i got taken out by a 74yo lady who said she had a green arrow to turn. except she wasnt at that intersection.

[Jetwreck]

OK so I got my new grill today....sprayed it up and fitted it.

Thoughts!!

P.S. I just figured out my bonnet is out of line

Thats fairly impressive, you managed to take two photo, minutes apart & from an identical position, with your finger over the lens both times

Looks good !
