At the risk of being disowned by all the other Stagea owners in Australia, I don't think it's that bad, it's certinally different, and you sure wont see another one like it........ever!!!!! It does need to be a different colour though....... :wave:

Yeah, like that wild blue one on another thread. The detail in integrating that body kit looks pretty good. Colour choice would make a huge difference though. Hey, anyone wanna bring that baby over here. Damn, if only I was 20 again!! :wave::):D

unique

the only thing that i dislike is the lack of rear doors and also how the sideskirts come in in the middle.

what the hell is it with people these days, they get massive wheel arches but the sideskirts bend in. I hate that. It just makes the car look stupid, with big arches. At least if the skirt was flared too it would look "fat"

Yaay finnaly a Stagea Coupe.......... I cant begin to try to describe just how utterly and tottaly ghey with a capital H that is!

Maybe lose the wing, lose the funky bits that stick out past the rear on the sides, and cut out the rear doors and I reckon it wouldnt look too bad........

Still it certainly is different!

And that red van, man that is just beyond words.......

pretty crazy, doesnt suit the colour. Its just cos youve got to go to some really crazy lengths to make your car original over there, its hard to do something to your car that someone hasnt already done. Original, but about as tough as custard.

wierd thing is, is that car may not even be more than 7 years old or so.

can you imagine someone doing that sort of work on a VT commo wagon, or a falcon AU wagon? not a chance. goes to show they take theyre shit seriously over there.

oh and that they have a MUCH better base to start with.

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
