Recaro's were already in the car when we almost bought it, almost 3 years ago.

Came close to buying back then, but found ours a few months later.

I may have turned off the traction control on the test drive :cheers:

i have some pics from it at the dealer ship too

Well I'll be...

Was it advertised as $24k or something when you looked at it? Cos I still have the advert from the import dealership from the guy I bought it off, and I got it off him for $9900!! :cool: I couldn't believe it when I saw how much he bought if for. He must have needed the money cos I got him down from 14k pretty easily.

here's what my stag looks like now after a stupid P Plater chick reversed into it on The Esplanade at Christies Beach tonight and then did a runner. Lucky for me a group of guys going for a run saw it happen and chased her long enough to get her rego number. Plus everyone living in the houses near it came out when they heard the bang.

However, when I went to the Police station to report it guess who was there...this same girl reporting the incident and apparently her reason for not stopping was because she panicked and a "Gang of Men" chased her. She told them that I had parked way over the line (which it wasnt) and that she wasn't going any more than 5kmph (which she must have been) and at worst it probably just left a scratch (she hadn't seen the damage cos she'd knicked off)

Here's what a "5kmph scratch" looks like

my phone takes crap photos at night but you can see it was a decent hit :cheers:

I'm glad that she owned up because even though I had her rego number it's saved everyone the hassle of having to track her down, but I got really annoyed when she tried to say it was my parking that made her hit me. She was issued a fine for fleeing the scene of an accident and the cops said to me that what she was saying didn't make sense and that no matter how she worded it, she was in the wrong.

Many thanks to the guys who got her details for me. There are still some pretty decent people out there.

But it's really ruined my night :huh:

edit: I do not think all P Platers are stupid, just this particular one

Duuuude, sorry to hear about the scuff. Dont worry, she'll buff right out :P

Should have handed her a shovel so it made it easier for her to dig that hole she was in :P

Even if it isnt fixed, be good to see you attend next weekend. BTW very nice polish job, tis a great looking car

Here's what all you Sydney-based Stagea owners missed out on AGAIN - I seem to be the only one who's interested in throwing my car around a track or motorkhana circuit event. YOU ALL SUCK!!! :P Why am I always the only one with a Stagea at our events?

Look at the body roll - I need to set the rear swaybar to the stiffer setting!

Saw an S1 go on eBay tonight for $6990, I was clawing at the monitor the whole time. :blush:

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
