I hate the wheels, hate the painted dash and door bits, and hate the fiberglassing around the stereo. If it was all done in a more subtle shade or in a carbon-look, and had racing-style wheels, it would be a lot nicer IMO.

doesnt appeal to my taste exactly, im more function over form so the stereo is overkill to me, but i think its still a very nice example of a stag with minimal mods. looks very tidy, lot of time and effort in it.

would rather see the effort put into a c34 S2 260, though. same buy price, nearly. much better final product...

yeah that black is probably more for what id go for. just cos its black. and hot. yep.

i had a look at that white S2 on j-spec, thought it was nice. white wheels are a different touch. probably wouldnt buy it personally, but if someone else did, id happily take it out for skids.

off topic - fuzzy whats the go with your tail-lights man? im looking at getting a set of S2's, but the smoked ones on yours look pretty hot - whats the story? come with it? anyone else seen them?

they look at lot darker in photos.

IRL they are nice. Not too hard. They are not night shades either, they are sprayed.

sprayed? how do you spray them? just with a tinted clear coat or something, hope it dries really flat then just buff the sh*t out of it? might look into that even. Legal?

yup ... with black paint, just light coats then cleared. As for being legal no, but how many cops know what a stagea is to even start with, let alone know what the tail lights are like!! :P

As alex says they look a lot better in real life ... not as dark as pic, but dark enough to offset nicely with white paint.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
