Apart from me and AlexCim, are there any other Melbourne stagea owners out there? If so, post a reply to this, as we should help each other out on various stagea issues :D

We should also get together sometime soon to look at all the different stageas!

Burns and i think michealquinn (spelling on that one) are from melbourne.

I was going to send a PM around with details to meet up, but that would be good to meet up, then we chat about things.

Plus, i would love to talk to Burns about his, having already done FMIC and stuff, could help me out.

I think there was a thread a while back stating where we were all from, maybe it needs to be dug up and updated?

That was I thread I started many months ago asking for any Melbourne owners of a series 2 - as I wanted to look at one before buying one. I didn't get many responses (ie non from series 2 owners!)

So I think it's better to start a new thread that's a bit wider.. :-)

actually, I just did a search and that post isn't around anymore. In fact, the stagea posts only seem to be staying around for a few months, then they are gone.....

I better start copying usefull stuff over to my web site so that I've still got it when I need it!!

How about we organize something now and if more people are from melbourne, they can just say.

As for me, i study during most days. Ill assume most people are busy weekdays, so i am free any weekend as long as i get about 1 weeks notice, prefer saturdays as i do homework sundays, but they are still fine.

What would people want to do? Just meet up and chat? BBQ? Cruise somewhere(then BBQ??). Hills view or Beach? etc etc

Suggestions would be good.

My preferences : On a nice day like today (may not be this arvo) cruise up into some BBQ place in the Dande's. Buy some meat on the way somewhere, snags etc. No drinking for me, P's still ;)

Cook em up and talk over food?

Hi.....my first post here.

When is the cruise looking at going ahead, as my stagea is sitting over in japan bout to be shipped over, so got bout 5 wks til l can come.

Are there many people in melb with stagea's, ll've seriously been looking for a month on my drive to uni everyday, and l'm yet to see one.

There is a guy on carsales selling his Stagea, he is in Glen Waverley area.

His number is on his listings, i contacted him and im gonna meet up with him next week some time. I really want to discuss his brembo brake setup...and some other stuff... but yeh, when we organize something, ill invite him along too (assuming he isnt already on this site and going to invite himself)

Others???? Now wonder we don't see too many around town!

Just some questions so i can put some ideas out

1. What dates are best for people, saturday or sunday?

2. Where is everyone coming from, dont want to make it an east meet is someone has to come from the west...could make it northern

3. Preferences on activity/event (BBQ, beach etc)

4. How soon should the event be?

My answers

1. Any days are fine, prefer saturdays

2. East side, Forest Hill

3. BBQ in hills (Silvan Res is a nice day place, page 122, H11)

4. I would pefer something in late september, gives me some time for some parts to arrive (more conversation topics :P)

Sounds like it will turn out to be a nice event...Post your replies

    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
    • I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.
    • Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.
    • Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
    • Is the UP Garage in the US of Ayyeee even the real UP Garage?
