How about a graduated two colour effect with a graphic design. You could respray the top of the car something complimentary to the silver, say a deep purple, with a nice graphic along the side to form the seperation. You can respray the bonnet to match, which would give you a classy new look, without the pain of engine bay, inside of doors etc. You could cover the whole lot in clear. Some very trick custom cars have this look. B)

I was fooling around with this a while back so thought I would stir the pot with a few pics! Not fantastic but you get some idea...

Apologies to the actual owner of this Stagea, not sure where the image came from now...

Yep, that purple one does it for me. Mind you, they all look good. Shows what a nice beast the Stag is to work with.

If you are going to be using it as a daily driver, something like that would be good. A full custom Kandy Pearl coated number would be a mite tempting for a bogan to scratch.... ;)

that green on munchdesign's post looks hot on a stagea.

it looks like hot house green, which i was leaning towards doing.

but after seeing that picture i definately think thats the colour.

looks sweet..

Dont forget the red pinstripe either (complemantry colours), and smoked rims. Would look real nice. :P

But that blue/green pearl looks HORN! :lol:

  • 4 weeks later...

i think the red from the ba XR range is great. real bold red. and a white starsky and hutch stripe going over the plastic bit between the rear windows. it'd suit the lines perfectly.

i'm not ready for racing stipes yet though hah!

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
