LOL :P

I'll continue on in that vein:

*Im over 2meters tall, so have no hope of fitting in with a manual AND have a useable seat behind me,

it is afterall our family car & needs to be used that way.

*Mine gets driven 75% in the city, always peak hour traffic, & after 7 knee surgeries I dont need to push

my joints unneccesarily - auto takes out that push in/out in/out in/out effect; that'd kill me.

*Yup, the car still drives well with auto rain or shine - mind you Id like to testdrive a manual Stagea

*I currently have a '6spd-manual' Fireblade if I feel in the mood for a fast-blast :P

Cheers all.

Gee it'd be nice if someone just punched me in the face and yelled "GET A MANUAL" haha. Make my mind up for me..

There's positives to both - just need to figure out what the purpose of this car is. Hmmm.. Either way, hopefully there will be another Stagea owner in SA soon. :)

Go the series 2, I hope everyone buys series 2, meaning that series 1 will be the rarer of the two.

Sorry but I actually perfer the look of the series 1 over the series two, each to thier own though.

I was under the impression that there are Series 1 RS Four S's out there......?

hey cyrus i also reckon the series 1 looks better except the rear lights on the series 2 are better, but the front series 2 lights look abit weird and same with the grille with spotties in em. just my opinion though :)

Well as for us we have a series 1 auto...and a series2 manual....it took us forever to find a black series 2 manual...but it will be better for the hubby with what he wants to do with it.....as for me i wanted an auto with city driving and two small children in the car i dont need to worry about changing gears etc...

Go with what you like the best...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
