Spotted a neat R32 GTR having some fun with me on my way to work this morning in the RX7.
Its days like these I sincerely miss the awd of my Stagea. Even driving 100% sensibly I have trouble getting traction!
-
Gave All Type Crash a call and they sounded great!
So will now save up the coin for my excess (lol) and take it in there.
Thanks.

Hey guys.
Not going to go into the story, but basically my car ('99 FD RX7) was involved in an accident and I'd say has about $5k worth of damage to the front end.
Mechanically looks almost untouched passed the radiator, but the front bar and quarter panels are all rooted. It was even able to be driven home... Though I wouldn't drive it again.
Was just wondering where people would recommend (preferably in the eastern suburbs) for someone that's going to do a good, thorough and as quick as possible job...??
-
I'll throw him through an email once the sale on my Stagea is all over and done with.
Thanks.
-
Last night? No.
Friday night? Maybe. lol. That's when I lost it and I've had a few complaints of late night phone calls already
Not a bad idea to be honest... But the poor bloke should have some decent working brake pads.
-
Yeah. As predicted. Waaaaaay to early for me to be out of bed on my rare Sunday off.
Sorry.
Adam man, did you get my msg? I managed to go and lose my phone, so reply on here if ya can. Thanks.
-
I'm also getting a bit antsy waiting for them to come back up... Its not going to be a repeat of last time when they were down for months on end is it??
-
See ya there good and hungover I guess
-
Wasn't originally going to come out on Sunday due to the painfully early start time - But since its my last chance, I'll make a serious effort to get there.
It was great to have a such a supportive and helpful team of people here on the forum to help me with my many enquiries. Thanks a bunch guys.
Hope theres a similar forum to help me out with my FD!
And Adam, I've sent you a msg

So I've had my Stagea for sale for a while but was in no real hurry to get rid of it. But after the last bloke came and looked at it and I went through another round of getting my hopes up and then getting all upset about not hearing back I decided to lower the price.
Lowered it to $17.5k (which I think is an absolute steal!) and within 4 hours, the guy that had looked at it rang me back and asked if he could put a deposit on it immediately.
So I just need to replace the front brake pads and get her detailed and she's no longer mine
It'll be real sad to see her go, but on the upside, it means I'm either 1 step closer to owning a house or 1 step closer to owning an FD RX7, lol, I'm yet to decide means more to me.
But anyways, the end of an era is fast approaching, time to make new friends with different cars and learn all about them. haha.
-
After all this... I'm bailing on the brake upgrade as I'm selling the Stagea. lol.
-
It generally means you're blowing flame - Which is sorta cool but also horribly attention seeking
-
Decs is a mate of mine from high school and I get everything on my Stagea done by him at Garage 7.
Its great to hear so much positive feedback about his work
-
NEEDED:
R34 Gtt brakes - front and rear
Complete and in working order (don't mind if pads are worn though)
PM me
-
Alright. Throw me a PM. Who knows, I might not have anything on the Saturday night
-
I'm not getting up that early on one of my super rare Sundays off. Lol.
Just not happening... No matter how much I'd like it to.
-
I haven't been out for ages. Would definitely be keen.
August 14th or 15th would work well for me.
I'd prefer mid morn to mid arvo.
EDIT: I'm east
-
Hooked up some R34 GTT brakes (rotors, calipers, pads, lines, hubs... aka everything) for $600.
Will pick em up on the weekend and hopefully get em put in next week
-
Just the sort of simple, straight-forward answer I've been looking for.
Thanks Pipster!

Okay. So after doing some searching on the net I've come to the conclusion that any GTR (R32, R33 & R34) brakes will fit and be a nice upgrade... However you need the matching calipers and rotors. Meaning you can't mix and match the Stagea stock setup with any of the GTR setups.
Can anyone confirm this?
I can get R32 GTR calipers, rotors and lines for $700 but I want to know for a fact they're going to fit first...
-
Hey guys. Just rummaged through the old box of car bits I've got sitting there and found a perfectly good cat that I never plan to use again.
May as well sell it.
If interested let me know. Make an offer.
Again pickup from Beamont, SA.
-
So after all that I'm still not really sure what will fit my RS4-S, lol.
For pads it looks like the QFM HPXs are the go, but still no idea what rotors to buy
-
Hey guys. Got a couple of globes laying around. Never used. Still in wrapping.
When I bought them off Ebay for some reason they sent me two pairs. I wasn't going to complain.
Pickup in Beaumont, SA.
Make an offer.

Still chasing them up. Will let ya know.
