hey guys and goils.

i was wondering if any one knows where i would be able to get a rear cut of a stagea say from the a pillar back, as i would like to build a trailer.

even if it is only a shell it doesnt matter as it would be getting gutted anyway but would be nice if it had the windows and all the other glass in it along with the tail gate and lights etc.

if any of oyu guys have any ideas i would be keen to have a look.

cheers oxford

there was a front write off about 6 months ago at auction in perth i think

but from pillars back looked all good i dunno what it went for .try searching the aussie auctions

That car got sold for a dirt cheap price and is currently getting repaired at the moment

Try Kresta in Brisbane 3245 1555

Talk to John

They got hold of the original crash test vehicle from compliance approval

Will/did have some damage in the rear RH dog leg from side impact testing

They may still have the shell.

k great thanks guys.

i have seen a similar one that gave me the idea in a french car mag, it was done with an rs4 AUDI wagon and it looked trick as hell all painted the same colour with the same tint and wheels etc.

the doors on the front still operated but the rears were welded shut so there could be a flat lift up floor put in there that was accessable from the rear tailgate.

whole unit looked the goods and saw another one that was done from the B pillar back so it was shorter and had a flat front instead of a steeled in windscreen area, same model car but different colour so might have been the same family or workshop or something?

I would much rather like from the end of the bonnet back, as I would be using it for long haul journeys back to brissie, so having the windcreen there would make it look that I was towing someone, or someone was following REALLY close! :P

Would be fairly heavy though, that long. You'd need to have its brakes hooked up, i believe. Would be better wind resistance, though...

I figure you could probably use the tailgate from another stagea again, to reverse it and use it to seal the front of the trailer. I dunno. Never done it.

Ive seen it done with a torana. You know how you see them with "torana" decals across the bottom of the doors? the trailer had "torailer". Original. It was from the A-pillar back, too.

hmmm

I think i might do this too

At this point, looks like my current stagea will become my run-a-bout and ill get a 260rs as a fun car.

I just will loose too much on the current one if ill sell it and cant go past the auto and towbar for towing.... a trailer....that is half a stagea.

why dont you just turn your current stagea into a trailer, and tow it with the 260RS ??? :D:D:)

seen these too. the RSsix Stageaccordion.

ps bit of a hassle whippin up one of these bad boys in mspaint... ill leave it to someone else.

simple guys, stiffen up the rear car suspension, weld the tailer onto the car via a ball joint from the a pillar, put rubber around the car/trailer to stop rain and you have one of those bending buses

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
