What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[iamhe77]

My Greddy catch can turned up today!

Going to be a big weekend for the Stag. Hopefully will fit the sway bars, adjustable rear toe arms, plenum spacer and catch can.

Wait and see when Brad is available to give me a hand fitting the new stereo, and hopefully HDTV tuner. Fingers crossed the stereo will work with the NTSC screen!

Once the catch can is in, have to organise the HDI intercooler finally. Held off until I had the catch can, because I didn't want to immediately fill it with poo!

I think you are doing it wrong?

ordered my clarion head unit last night. should arrive for the weekend

[bigkevracer]

Which one Iain? The one which has no drive?

You might be right Cam, but I think you know what I mean

[zei20l]

this one:

aux in for the TV, full ipod connectivity+ bluetooth handsfree, AAAAAAND the best part, can use factory steering wheel controls

[bigkevracer]

Nice.

Do you have factory steering wheel controls? Hmm...

[zei20l]

yup!

only works with the factory 6 stacker, not the RS single DIN unit.

[bigkevracer]

Sounds good. I'm after cruise control, and Chris Rogers has his setup that uses the factory buttons, will be going with that. Looks awesome, and I want cruise control for trips.

[zei20l]

cool, yeah it looks good, AFAIK it comes with the stereo controls too as its part of the same loom in the steering wheel

[bigkevracer]

Hmm have to ask him. I know my Clarion can wire up to stereo controls too.

[ironpaw]

yup!

only works with the factory 6 stacker, not the RS single DIN unit.

So this Clarion HU will work with the steering wheel remote?

Nice...

I'm looking at a couple of Alpine models...

That's if I ever get the single din conversion done...

[zei20l]

yeah it will work with factory remotes

and guess what? it just arrived!! thats not bad, ordered around 10pm last night lol

ok it did only have to come from granville

check out www.soundmaster.com.au

the prices seemed pretty good and they had a decent range too

One for the you beaut what a ute files - hauled a fence strainer post, fitted in with ease, no damage was done. My baby earning her thirsty keep.

Been wanting the side mirrors (original option) with the LED indicators in them for a while now (from the Stagea Optional Parts Catalog):

Was toying with the idea of aftermarket LED ones (plenty of different types on Yahoo JP) but personally i think they all look crap. So i decided i would stick with my original idea of getting the original factory option ones, and i reckon in the last 6 months or so, i have nearly bought about five different sets (all different colour to my car though) but for some unknown reason kept refraining - probably 'cause i couldn't be stuffed trying to get them repainted pear white to match my car.

My reluctance to purchase previously has paid off, cause i just won a pair off Yahoo JP for 13,500Y - not bad i reckon (considering no repaint required)..

Looking forward to fitting these in a couple of weeks...

Awesome!

Absolute bargain Jason! Im a big fan of the wing mirror indicators, definitely helps give the car a more modern look

[bigkevracer]

I've had a lot of people comment on mine, although the way they fit they almost look like they're a clip on cover over the mirror?

I thought they were a clip on....I'll have to check mine again

[slippylotion]

They are a cover over the mirror. Look bloody good.

[prince_skyline]

They are a cover over the mirror. Look bloody good.

So, they are just covers - more just popped up in Silver on Yahoo JP.

As you said they still look good!

[prince_skyline]

Another option is the Series 2 Factory option mirrors which do not appear to be clip on. Just checked the Options catalog for this model to be sure - and they are listed in there also - one piece with LED & colour coded triangle mounting plate....
