i need to get a better photo but the wheels sit pirfectly and looks sweeeeeet with a spot of camber.

running about 2.5deg camber in the rear now

i have clearence in all direction, a nice ride height and i have taken a few corners and large roundabouts hard and she sticks like a trooper.

a little toe and caster and it feels much more planted at speed which is good. once i get the swaybars in i think i will be happy with the feel of the ride :)

i understand what your saying kiwi, but yeah its still a daily not a race car, i dont think i have done anything overly stupid or dangerous or disprespecfull to other dirvers and so on, if i was to track it or anything i would set it up differently and im happy to have the custom adjustment to do so, some people wont like the look but i love it and im finally happy with the fitment of my car, just annoyed that Varrstoen dont do anything lower than a +12 offset and im forced to use spacers. i would be chuffed it i could have gotten -10, maby for future wheels.

i know the tire wear is increased and i will probably get about 12000km flip them over and another maby 10000km then i need new rears.....and at $100 a pop im not fussed TBH

will get better photos up soon

Hung over and productive sunday

Picked up a pair of Stagea Impul front seats with rails of a fellow stag owner (dunno if he is on here)

if you are, sorry man was not talkative being quite hungover, but chears.

happy to get these because it allows me to have better seats with a deaper bucket but matching fabric so they blend in nicely like they came with the car.

Firts off it was good having reason to pull the seats out and clean under there....damn filthy.

lucky for me the carpets are still in really good condition

ok so this is the comparison, much better looking seat and although it doesn't really show it in photos, they really do hug you allot more.

they still need a good clean but so do allot of things, ill let the detailers do that soon enough.

the seating position is also lower, not crazy low but im definatly down a good inch or two

the fabric is in good condition and they look good in the car. im stoked with them

Nearly grabbed those seats of gumtree when I saw them for my stocky:) good price from memory just one of the bolsters needs a bit of re padding , those seats have a bit of a history been through a few stagea's now, looks good

I removed my leather electric seats (even less support than rs4s seats) and replaced them with the recaros so much better to sit in as you have just found out ;),just got to chuck in the takarta harnesses and fix a slow leak in the passengers side air lumber support , should be some really nice stags out on the next s.a cruise , my mates just quickly done up a rs4s over the last couple of weeks too ,wheels, coilovers, hyper gear turbs, fmic turbo back exhaust, nistune h/d clutch , c/f bonnet, just cams and injectors to go

My recaros (stagea option)

ok so it seams i need to continue my hunt for a decent headlight sealant. the cleaner i use is great but the supposed sealant in it...did nothing

also the new light i bought due to the old one getting water inside.....now has f**kign water inside.....f**k

IMAG2315_zps0wexbnxf.jpg

also removed inner guards over the front wheels to fine tweak the suspension. how she now sits and will stay.

  • 2 weeks later...

haha thanks man, these pics just remind me how much more room i have for poke and lowering.

sooo many things i want to do to the car, it just looks to me like "look at all the stuff im missing" ha

so my list of things to do visually are:

Days rear bar ad-on with black center

days carbon fiber frotn bar center cover

sideskirts of some description

dolphin front grill (still undecided)

dressy wheel nuts

twin chrome exhaust tips

eyelids

fix rust

slimline roofrakcs with thule wind deflector

also i have a colour scheme which i have admired since it blew up on the "scene" which will be the following

wheel nuts

brakes

rotors

engine bits

some subtle stickers

all in turquoise .... i.e...

combine these with some carbon fiber bits with my grey such as front bar inserts, wing maby...will look porn in my eyes

mintcollage_zps40caa34e.jpg

I could be of assistance with the Dayz rear lip. PM me for details if interested.

BTW, Nice rig

Seriously concidering importing on of these

i would get it in white with turquose lettering

IMG_3202.jpg

lettering in this colour instead of black

IMG_3241.jpg

maby even a neachrome center

IMG_3986.jpg

if only it didnt loose my airbag and essentially make it illegal.

would go well with my intended colour scheeme of white grey and turqoise.

what do you think, should do it?

    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
    • I think both. Higher ratio and more stout. I think at least part of his lift increase came from the rocker.
