madaz R33 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) some may be aware i bought myself a stagea a short while ago(to stop myself spending more $$ on the 33 ) and right on xmas eve as i was on my way to work,(less than 30m from my work) a dickhead flew round the corner through the lights and hit me in the ass end while i was stationary waiting for someone else to reverse into a spot, i was pissed off! anyway upon inspection not much damage mainly to the black plastic strip on the bumper, and the rear reo bar slightly bent in and some other minor scratches, pretty much rooted the other blokes car/wagon, it has ended up working out to my advantage after persuading the insurance assessor it would be too costly to source an original bar(althogh it is minor damage) has agreed to sign cheque over so i can buy aftermarket kit (and i have done, it is waiting for me at the depot to pick up, its a freeway dolphin full body kit+ planning some other mods, but not heaps ) so could of been a lot worse, im also having a tow bar built so the stagea can tow the 33 down to pwr 11 cruise and other upcoming events Edited January 22, 2008 by madaz R33 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/91189-whats-going-on-with-everyones-cars/page/24/#findComment-3597542 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium Dave Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Been making some progress with my locost project, sourced some yamaha R1 motorbike shocks for the suspension, at $60 a piece posted from america they work out to be much cheaper than the propper $300+ per corner stuff. Mounted them konegseig style in the rear Now just chasing more parts so I can design/build the front steering & suspension. Then I can get my engineer to have a look, and I will find out if I can get it road registered Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/91189-whats-going-on-with-everyones-cars/page/24/#findComment-3601882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wogboy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Air fuel ratio is only there for looks It's hooked up to the O2 sensor but this is not hooked to the ECU. The ECU is closed loop unfortunately.

Was going like a train!! He wasn't to bad, it was his first time on the track It's all stripped and cleaned, measure up tonight and order bits tomorrow.
