ME!

Every, EVERY time that I go down the driveway and see my car for the first time in the morning I think to myself "I made the right choice" and smile at the same time.

Sure, she blows a bit of smoke sometimes. She eats a lot too. Sometimes she just doesnt like the new things i buy her, but she always finds something she likes(or i make her like).

Expensive as she may be, you know what, at the end of the day she is always there for me when i need to give it to her hard....and she never complains about it! :P

get a room you pervert!

BASTARD!

Can I please Vic membership now too? :P

Everyone that goes for a ride in my stag always gets out and has a moment, pondering, then give me that "i should get a stagea too look"

My best mates working towards one, a s2 manual....i cant wait for him to get it given we see eachother every single day, will make for some fun :)

member-ised. sorry dude, read your post and I couldn't help it, coz you didn't mention the word Stagea once, always reffered to it as "her".

lol I'll get a stagea in a couple of years, right now I'm happy with a GTS4 (which is basically a 2 door stagea anyways). I dunno, its a toss up between a W35 stagea and a Y34 gloria, all depends on what stage in my life I'm at.

Every second person that see's or goes in my car seems to now want one as their next car.

But yet to find anyone who doesn't like it. Can't wait to get my wheels & wang this week too, finally make it look how l want it too!!!

Stagea's rock.

Ive definately got a soft spot for my wagon; thinking Id like to finish off the family with a Series 2 Neo tiptronic Stagea as well.

Just washed her moments ago and it feels great to caress her lovely smooth panels, and see her skin shine and sparkle in the sun, dripping wet and showing off in the driveway.

=P Brendan

Brendan, that is going a bit far cheif :D

I have never, never, never done that myself, ever. Well maybe just once but nobody saw me.

I luurrve my 260RS and my wife now loves my old Stagea.

My dog doesnt like either of them.

I love mine but it hasn't really been drivable since early November and I'm getting really sick of pulling it apart and trying to put it back together over and over again.

The comments from family and friends have now turned from praise to "your a fkn idiot why don't you just get a normal car", "you should have left it the way it was at least it was drivable" etc

I can see my self cracking it soon and selling it.

Ditto to the aforementioned comments. Between the wife, the stagea and me it is a sordid love triangle.

So far the best thing about living in Gumpie land is that I'm the only who has that warm fuzzy feeling and hope to have it all (the warm fuzzies) to myself for a while yet. Only two Gumpieites have said "hey, love your Volv..!!" Even my mad R33 mate with 300+KW is livid because the Stagea is so driveable. As the promo goes, "Luxury, Sporty yet functional".

Living on a major road I see a lot of cars drive by and I can't help but laugh to myself, thinking "you paid $50,000+ for that Clubby and you're only just getting the options my car came with standard 5 years ago! And I only paid 22!"

Often when I kiss my wife goodbye as I go to work I look past her at the Stagea and think..."you know you've made the right choice."

Well, its like my dads car, a 97 VS acclaim.

I get in it, it rattles, its slow, it has all little stupid things breaking, its poor deign, feels like crap.

Stagea feels like a dream after driving that bastard. For 97 tech, AU was DAMN far behind.

Chris, Chris's car is the silver on in the Melbourne meet number one thread. Dayz front bar, Buddy club P1's, FMIC etc.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
