I don't think anyone is attacking it, I know I certainly am not.. we're just talking about it. I think it looks great, but where I'm from it would last about 3 hours on the road before it's defected.

Or last 3 hours without ripping the front bar off on a spoon drain!

I dunno how you're going to manage with another 30mm drop but I cant wait to see how it looks worship.gif

Your car needs MOAR LOW that's for sure!

I didn't think anyone was attacking it... I just find it funny the difference in culture. Here I get nothing but comments saying I need to go lower lol. I've ripped the bumper off once(broke side bolts), reversing out of work car park over those stupid car park stoppers, parked too far forward.

30mm lower won't be too bad, I can get over all speed bumps, it's only my driveway I struggle... My neighbour who's acop has fits of laughter whenever he sees me come out of it lol

Hence the reason i'm going for a cert... It's getting certed at the height pictured, but afterwards you can go 5% lower or higher without getting pink stickered (defected). Here if you have a cert, cops can't touch you(most of the time)

Lucky bugger, they mean nothing in SA. Cops just defect you and say "I don't know if it's legal or not, so we'll let the inspectors find out".

Have to always keep the stock parts here and just swap them in/out as required.

that's a bit of a pain!

In saying that, certs can be a hassle here... Say if you get coilovers one month, you need a cert... At the same time they cert your coilovers, they record what wheels you went for the cert on and it's put ont oyour cert plate(without your say!) So you cant change wheels, unless you wana pay $500 and go for another cert... Same with steering wheels, if you went for a cert with an aftermarket steering wheel, then convered back to stock, you can get defected.... Fail!

Back to stock seems pretty retarded although I can understand it when one mod requires another mod if that makes sense.

I know, doesn't make sense to me... I find it stupid that before you get a cert, you can change wheels every day, yet once you're certed for 18x9s, 18x8 or 18x8.5 become unsafe!

my new stagea i picked up a couple of weeks ago

Welcome Michael :action-smiley-069: . Did you just polish it? Looks really shiny in that pic.

that was the pic the previous seller used when he was selling the car

Simons14's old stag in Adelaide? :-)

yea i brought it off him a few weeks ago now :D

saw this fs. imo very clean car

yea unfortunately pictures do make it look better then it is, few paint fade spots, and rust under the mirrors. but ill hopefully get the rust fixed and a full respray with in the next few month, possibly try and find a new front bar. thinking of a dayz front to accommodate a possible front mount.

Weird... looked fine to me, but I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb.

Rust seems to be fairly common on C34s. Good luck with it, hope to see it around!

    • 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
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
