Hello All,

I am happy to join the rest of you Stagea owners, just picked up my 2002 AXIS Stagea and it is one nice machine and goes quite well. Already had a guy at the shops ask what car is it and the guy at the RTA said it was a weird looking Volvo... mind you hee called it a " Stag---eeeea" .

I look forward to your forums.

Jules

Hey Everyone,

I have recently picked up my 1997 Stagea Dayz Edition. Series 1 in Red. No mods currently, but lots and lots planned. Have attached a few pics.

Also, mine didn't come with an instruction manual to the car. Not that I really need it, but was curious if they were available?

Cheers,

Mark

Just in... 2000 S2 Pearl White in Adelaide... this is the (filthy) beast as it rolled off the delivery truck this afternoon:

post-32445-1202830577_thumb.jpg

It's a Prime Edition and this pretty much sums up why I like Primes:

post-32445-1202386405_thumb.jpg

5 years looking 3 months waiting... finally here!

Cheers guys I have spent countless hours being entertained by your posts & reading useful information. I don't think there's a better Stagea resource on the Internet (in English anyway!)

Regards,

DaveB

Isn't the point of the AR-X that it has raised suspension for increased ground clearance?

and you pointless being!!!

Quote from Brazin

Theres a few reasons weighing up in my mind as to why the AR-X might be a good option for modifying / lowering etc over the normal ones:

- Larger rolling diametre... they not only got 18" stock instead of 17", but larger tyres etc increasing the overall rolling diametre... which if you want to dump one and get fat rims... means you can "legally" get wider and bigger rims fitted to an AR-X than the other M35s. (225/55R18 vs 215/55R17)

- The plastic gaurds around the wheel arch can be retained and colour-coded when mixing a bodykit in so also keeping a 'legal' wider car (an extra 15mm each side for wider rims) without having to get wider quarter panels or flares.

- While leather etc was an option on Rs-4... they standard fitment on an AR-X

- 200w Bose speaker system including subwoofer in the spare wheel well etc is also more common to find in AR-X

- Limited Slip Diff standard on AR-X - rare option on non-AR-X

Has something been missed?

That is a whole bunch of very true facts.... but get them colour coded quick - they look like a holden adventra. Good to see some out the box thinking! Will be nice when its done. Factory wide body. There are some nice agressive looking front bars if you just google image m35 stagea.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
    • 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.
