What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[Daleo]

Amish you already bro...

[wolverine]

After 9 years of Stagea ownership I am out. The Stagea has been passed on to safe hands and should give the new owner years of fun. I'm sure I will be around but thanks to all here who have helped me over the years and to a few who may not frequent the forums any more but I still keep in contact with.

Fitted dayz front bar and side skirts after a fresh lick of paint and dropped her a few inches

Before the dayz kit she looked like this

I kinda like it with the less aggressive kit.

Thanks Wolverine, for all the help you have returned to us.

What have you 'upgraded' to? I just can't find much worth replacing my Stagea with.

[wolverine]

Thanks Scotty, I bought the old man's 2012 335i which is a good car to steer. The refinement, the improved fuel economy, the interior is a bit more up to date but the car is less fun than my old R33 and the Stagea.

But can you fit a fridge in the boot? Or a 7ft ladder? Or a hitchhiker?

[wolverine]

The boot is deep so hitchhikers no problem.

The twin subs and amps made fridgesand ladders an issue anyway.

I wish I was Jay Leno.

I have a tuner mate in Sydney who does some pretty special stuff with those TT BMW motors.

I'd love a 335 wagon...

Finally got the Turbosmart Kompact BOV fitted, got a K & N panel and replaced the hid bulbs, which one has already failed, Yay for ebay!

Rotors and pads arrived yesterday... R35 GTR seats should be fine to pick up next week.

My aero bar should hopefully arrive within the next 2 weeks

Why a K+N? Don't say I didn't warn you. I only have a couple of AFM's left...

Nice one, pics please.

[Artwear]

Forgot to mention, I had the AFM replaced at the same time as well

Honestly didn't realise that K&Ns were an issue, for all the poking around ive done on here id not seen it mentioned.

Have noticed that at full tilt in 1st & 2nd, the last 3 - 400 rpm before redline, it drops off and then theres a slight backfire when it clicks into the next gear. It seems more noticeable now that the bov makes more noise too.

[Beregron]

Nice one, pics please.

Once all the bits are in the spare room i'll get cracking and take some pics

Looking forward to getting these things done so i can move onto the next stage. I have a few blokes in Adelaide working on some options for me

Massive thanks to you too, Andrew, for helping with the original "Secret Squirrel Trick" for us PowerFC owners!

Rotors and pads added today.

R35 GTR seats are still stuck in the container which they travelled from Japan in but hopefully they will be good to pick up this coming weekend.

Also got a bloke to give the M35 a once over to find possible issues.... Looks like i have some forum searching to do re: cv boots / caster rod bushes and radiator (last one will be easy)

Cheers

If you are planning on modding it spend a little extra and get the moshimoto radiator. Twice as thick, twice as awesome. It is on my list of things to do this year.

[Beregron]

I'll take a look Josh cheers,

Yes at this stage further mods will be on the way.. not sure how much more power it will make from the 240-odd kw's it's making now but i do see more in the future

The Mishimoto would be good investment at your current power level IMO.

[zelda]

Threw on the cold air kit today, idle seemed to go back to 650/750 rpm compared to the factory which I could never get to stay at. ?

And had a play around with the boost T, steady 14psi now bit more of a joy to drive ?

Now let's see who is the first to give me s**t for using a k&n pod and ditching the factory unit....
