Oh, BTW, those who won prizes at the Stagea 15th Cruise, can you please send me a PM with your name (just your first name is fine if that's all you want - your choice), what prize you won and what for - my mind is failing me.

Oh, and if you know someone who won a prize and you know that they don't get on the forums much, please pass their details on to me (with their permission, of course) or let them know to contact me. Need those last few details for the article.

Any Texi spots left? I bet nobody has seen an incompetent driver wobble a Black Volvo around witches hats before?:whistling:

Need to get that SAU membership form filled out; thanks Nick.

Let's get some Stagea's to the next Texi ...

Don't let me take away the wagon glory ( I refuse to compare my times to the two doors :whistling: )

Remember it's not all about smoking tyres and rev limiter bouncing, go as hard as you like and the faster times are done with throttle finesse rather then flat to floor.

First timers $35.... very little coin for a fun day out. Also looks like we will have low numbers = lots of runs :thumbsup:

Okay just in case people haven't gotten out of the Stagea section down to the NSW events section, I thought I'd remind everyone of very cool event coming up

Sutton Rd TEXI - 19th May

Have a look, watch the video, feel inspired.

Things to note .

  • You don't need a mega kilawasps car to enter - have a look at the entry lists, there is a Magna and Micra whistling.gif
  • 1 car at time - GO AS HARD AS YOU WANT . feel free to drive like a granny or hard out 100% .
  • Everybody is really friendly and welcoming of noobs, I have no skill and have had nothing but positive feed back and encouragement
  • This is a rare event, get in while you can, it may not be back.
  • It will make Nick happy to see Stags at NSW events - you don't want to make Hulk mad.

No I haven't signed up but will be once I feel rich ( crossing fingers it doesn't sell out ) .

or

Come for a cruise Putty Rd 22 April

yes I know Stags are a wagon not a track weapon but it's still a lot of fun.

Melbourne people Canberra is not that far for a overnight stay, there is cheap accommodation being organised.

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
