Stagea Handling

[stag98]

so if the price they quote says $xxx landed and complied...but doesnt include the parts swapping...what part of the compliance is worth the $4000 that is mentioned...

The biggest part $4K (compliance should cost under 3K for a stock Stagea now) goes towards is the cost of being a Comp shop and the lack of competition at present for Stagea compliance... There is nothing within the process that is of any great cost/value that needs to be done to the car.

$2750 at IAMSHE for my compliance Wont get it any cheaper than that...

We just payed double that to comply one of our 2 stagea's this week... I can assure you the market isnt dropping at the moment with the lack of compliers and plates floating around....

IAMSHE have put the price up to $3000 plus GST plus tyres for a series 1 and $3250 plus for series 2

Still alot better than the other 2 compliance centres

Has anyone tried the company in Melbourne?

They are on the Dotars site

Looks like I am in the wrong business! I paid $2750 for comp, total invoice was over $4K with added extras (front indicators, timing belt, labour etc.) and GST. Plus I had to locate and send them standard wheels (thanks Alex) then get them shipped back down here, which cost more than the rims in the first place! I'd always budget for a blow out in that area from now on, there's always something...

Thats why I ended up buying locally (Qld, private, search CoolPC).

You get to see the car, drive the car, and for $17900 at the time was same price as a Stagea at the jap auctions (close enough anyway) to not be bothered with the importing hassles and budget blowouts.

I searched and searched the market for around 8 months before finding a neat Stagea that stood out (ie Dayz edition, go the Dayz, you rock Mr. Dayz!), that was in good condition with low kms with some history behind it.

anyway - Handling........... prior to Sydneykids suspn group buy I thought it handled pretty good (let down by the budget tyres). However, now with 17s and awesome tyres and most of Garys suspn kit (standard springs, no castor kits) it handles brilliently.

For a turbocharged intercooled tuned 4wd automatic wagon, anyway! LOL
