pipster11 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I bought a new headunit, pioneer one with USB and Bluetooth for $200 cost it was last years one. Pretty happy with that one I also have a word of warning to ppl thinking of getting alloy radiators, I don't think they can be cleaned like conventional radiators. Mine has blocked up and now heats up on the highway or going uphill for too long fml Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/100/#findComment-5883633 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOKEYV35 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 thanks - it looks much nicer with the caps on and the front lip installed, but had to remove that - driveway entrance to the apartment is too steep and it scrapes. next step will be vinyl wrap on the roof and mirrors, then detail the engine bay. got maxima gas struts for the bonnet, and a radiator air guide to install this weekend.

wolverine Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 GT-t front and rear calipers, DBA 4000 rotors and Bendix Ultimates installed overnight. New Fenix 42mm alloy (R33) radiator also fitted this morning....a little trimming but it seems to fit reasonably well.

Big Fella Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 well, i decided to get stuck into my stagea exhaust once again, i currently have a huge Jasma rear cannon AND a set of twin 3" blast pipes that i change between(jasma for long trips, blast pipes for fun) But the car has been running the blast pipes for the last month or so and i have been getting sick of the massive drone at low revs. I concocted a simple plan....make some bigger 3.5" blast pipes with hidden hot dogs. Since i work at a Holden dealer i grabbed a couple of discarded VE SS hot dogs, these are 2.25" and are of high quality. i bought a couple of short lengths of 3.5" pipe, and one larger length of 3". Previously i have bought premade 2 into 1 collectors, but i figured i'd save some money and make my own the 3.5" pipe was the exact same diameter as the hot dogs, which works well for stealthyness plan i attached my homemade collectors, which still had to be trimmed up. after a bit of smoothing with the angle grinder aand a flapper disc, they got a coat of heatproof black paint and were fitted up to my old rear section. after running the car for a little while to bake the paint on i took it for a test run. thecar sound exactly the same, maybe a bit depper, but my annoying drone is all but gone. and it now pops bigger flames because my tailpipe area is retaining more heat Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/100/#findComment-5887388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great Robbie, you going to keep them on for the cruise? definately, these ones have no more drone and a nice note, so they can stay on for good. my jasma cannon is going to be relegated to the defect clearing section of the shed Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/100/#findComment-5887893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fella Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 the stagea got a fresh sump full of oil this week, the new exhaust, some fresh tyres and a wheel align. And i finally pulled the centre of my dash apart to fix some rattles and re-route my ipod and av connectors to the centre console. It turns out that the little tray under the lid is the perfect size for an iphone or ipod Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/100/#findComment-5893112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one of these from an SDU group buy from the US: http://www.yulontech....asp?infoid=122 It provides location if the car is moved out of a set area...(will send you an sms message with its location) or you can phone it to ask for its location.

ironpaw Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 was on the Monash Fwy today behind a truck and something fell off it...I had no chance to dodge and it went under the car. Made some loudass bangs. Now when I accelerate hard my car makes clicky/rattling noises...great Checked under the car and now I have 3 bigass dents in the exhaust system...farrrk. Dropped the oil and topped up with Motul. As usual the filter was on too tight by the previous guy who did it (RVO auto) and I had do the whole stab the filter with the screw driver thing...made a huge mess...arrgh. also raised the rear suspension by a few cm...hopefully that'll minimise anymore scrapage...

zei20l Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 the filter only needs to be on hand tight. they dont usually come off unless they are the wrong filter and pop off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/100/#findComment-5893837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
