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:

we hadn't done car photography before, but its a work in progress.

once we figure out the best techniques we'll probably have to do some Stag shoots! :P

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
