What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[NickM91]

Haha okay cheers scotty well in the mean time it all seems to be going well *touches wood* I'm not after massive power, I play with plenty at work, just wanting reliability/no issues with the mods i've got.

Anyone live near blacktown and want to be my plan c?

trying to grab a bargain and i'll be coming through sydney in about 10 days

so if either of my two friends can't get to it who would want to pick up some suspension for me and pay for it (its retardedly cheap at $100) and i'll give you the money when i come down plus something for your troubles

hey tom, im near blacktown so any problems send a pm or if goldzilla cant do the pick up.

[pipster11]

cool, thanks guys!

Will let you know today hopefully

[pipster11]

Ok suspension is now in my friends possession, misread the add so instead of $100 it was $200 but the guy gave them to me for $175

So now i have a full set of Bilsteins (to suit gtr, so not 100% ideal but i can deal with it) with king springs (not perfect but...)

Plan is:

Get shocks from friend

Drive to TAS

Source some strut tops (only thing missing from the shocks as the mechanic who installed the guys coilovers took them off for some reason)

Create a set of shocks with Eibach springs (currently on the car) and Bilsein shocks

and another set with my Impul shocks and the King springs

Set Bilsteins to lowest setting

Win at life (hopefully)

Also, the Bilsteins are yellow to match my car

So anyone with some applicable strut tops, sell them to me please

You going to get them serviced before putting them in? I loved my bilstein setup with Nismo springs.....was awesome!

Nice win btw!

Yeah pretty stoked at the moment, how much does getting them serviced cost?

[pipster11]

Yeah kinda, will be for the next 9 months

Might just put them in and see how they go, might clean them up first tho

Unfortunately the tops will be missing for a reason. Many suspensions sets don't come with tops and you have to reuse the existing ones.

So if you are swapping your standard ones over just reuse the tops from those. If you don't have the standard ones....they are very hard to find because everyone needs them! Sometimes the easiest way to get a set is to buy some second hand standard shocks just for the tops

Just about to slap a 26 into my rs4

I actually asked fatz on fb and he has some!

Any chance of an r31/states owner combo super mighty lowball fatz?

Lowball away

[pipster11]

incoming pm

[rasored]

made this to accept Bov and cam cover breather for the uprated turbo and Z32 MAF

[scotty nm35]

That won't work well. The bov enters at the wrong angle. You will get some bad reversion across the afm hotwire Ted.

Installed and set up my shiny new boost controller

Will need to change my spark plugs now I think, feels like spark is sometimes breaking down between 3-4k rpm, think its because my current plugs are gapped at 1.1mm

[rb26stagea]

Engine currently being assembled . Finally!!! Hopefully tuned and on the road in the next 3-4 weeks. Excitement!

[sky^rkt]
