Most importantly are you enjoying the car? stag is great, most people seem to love the car , the sticking point has been the wing, i'm happy with it as it is . I may be biased, but why not a VQ35? not sold on VQ in NA form unless its a renault motorsport engine. How are you enjoying Stagea life Ben?

mechanicalstig Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 hey mate , i thinkthe issue may be that the pics are just linked from facebook, for those that have missed it , we have a video series on the MCMtv2 channel: ep 1: ep 2: 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451482-mechanical-stigs-c34-stagea/page/4/#findComment-7678697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beregron Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) This car is really impressive. I did consider doing something similar minus the V8 but decided to the M35 Stagea route. I'm enjoying the episodes so far Top work mate.

Leroy Peterson Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 sticking to manual may have created some mechanical obstacles to overcome, but I reckon you've dodged a big bullet trying to mate up the electrical and ECU/TCU side of autos. looking forward to seeing how the rest of the build goes.
