What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[PN-Mad]

The Stagea made 335 rwkw at 25 psi last night with the new sound control exhaust. Very interesting to drive now, especially in rear drive.

Well done Scotty. And I mean it ( you know when people say well done to someone just paying $, insted of actually building the car-like you have!)

Interesting final figure. I heard 328 @ 20psi from you know who last night.

Do you think that there is a restriction- as 5 extra psi didn't net much gain. Have you found the limit of the stock manifolds? Its not the Exhaust...

Or on the other hand, was it made a bit safer in the tune?

Dyno graphs please!

Nice work Scotty! You've got a lot to be proud of with the development of your car.

Must be a hell of a thing to drive now!

+1 - especially in rwd!

skids!

Thanks Guys.

I did notice it lights up the wheels in second now, just by accident of course. While rwd is fun, the PM front diff will be going in very soon.

Fark! Good effort mate.

E-manage back in and running

More POWERS is evident!....and a little scary

One last tune......I wont catch the Scott's figure.....but hopefully will crack the 300AWKW's!

Craig, you sticking for 98 for 300kw, or switching to E85?

Scotty, great figures. Since it was measured in RWD, is it likely to drop when you get that front diff in, in terms of awkw?

[scotty nm35]

No idea, perhaps a little. There's no choice for me, the diff has to go back in for grip.

sticking with BP98......cannot be bothered with E85.....I should have more than enough power for what I need or want.

I'm not really aiming 300AWKW's.......250AWKW's should be more than enough for what I want.

[scotty nm35]

Like you have a choice...

Took my car to Hampton Downs yesterday - best lap of 1.24.22 with 240kw.

Hopefully will have around 300kw next time.

Anyone who hasn't tried a track day should give it a go - great fun to be had hammering it flat out without fears for your licence!

Fitted Whiteline camber bushes a few years ago now due to the usual rear tyre wear issues. Was still chopping out rear inner tread (though not so bad as initially) so I have now fitted aftermarket rear adjustable links (upper) which should solve the problem permanently. One small hiccup in the process of removing OEM camber links, only the outter camber bush had been adjusted. The inner bush was set at (nothing, not used, set at minimum) What I don't get is that the knuckle heads that did the alignment fitted the bushes so it was not as if they were unaware of full adjustment facility.

Oh well, onwards & upwards now

After nearly 2 years of owning the stag i finally connected the automatic headlight adjustment plug... the retard compliance guys filled the plug with silicon when they removed the HID lights.... does anybody else use this fearure?? Its a S2 by the way

[lilcrash]

Automatic headlight adjustment? Mine just has an adjuster switch so I can set them as high or low as I want.

[scotty nm35]

I finally got around to fitting the radiator fan shroud, not much left of the radiator mounting side as the radiator core is so big. Also re-installed the Mishimoto 62 degree thermostat while I was there. Hopefully no more overheating issues in traffic.

Yeah thats what im referring to... its automatic opposed to popping the bonnet and adjusting with a screwdriver

[lilcrash]

Oh lol. Just be careful with popo lookin around if you have reinstalled hids.
