ha ha cheers. well i got a couple of weeks yet before I will be buying, and the guy said hes got a few more coming in. will be getting pics soon. otherwise theres a nice standard silver one, leather interior, and sun roofs. could probly get it for like 18k maybe less. thinking of just going that

oh thats a shame..it was a really nice car!! good luck with finding the perfect stag

Too bad I already own the perfect stag :P lol!

Seriously what I mean is that once you find a stagea you're happy with and have owned it for a few months, ironed out any problems (if any exist), and start to personalise it and modify it (if you wish to), it will be your perfect STAGEA!

Good luck with your search. As long as you get a stag in fairly good condition, you wont be disappointed. :)

^^^true...i fell in love with my stagea at the first photo, i got her for a really good price and i havent done anything to her yet apart from get a new battery...shes my third baby and perfect just for me!!

wtf is going on in perth did someone take out a full page in the west advertising stageas? they seem to be walking out the door at autowholesale.

there is going to be more stageas in perth than in the whole of australia soon if people dont stop buying them.

good point mcnamq....

Well ive seen 3 stageas. (as in, ive seen another stagea 3 TIMES) since i got mine here a YEAR ago. (my 12 mth rego is up for renewal). to see another one of your own ca 3 times in a year is prety cool. at least 4-5 times a week i get asked what it is, who makes it, what is in it etc by randoms at petrol stations etc. love it.

A few more stageas in SA wouldn't hurt :D

Its great to have a unique car, but maybe not so unique everyone's first reaction is "what is that?! is it a volvo?".

I'd rather people think "nice stagea" than "is that a volvo?" :(

you just have to make it unique... and I hate the 'is that a volvo' too pixel... AS IF I'd Drive a volvo :D

I drove a PT and they are common these days but not so much that you'd pull up next to one, and people still commented 'nice car' etc..

stageas would never get as common as the PT so no need to worry guys.

let us just take a moment to bask in our exclusivity and coolness....

Cant wait to get my new one. THAT bad boy is gonna turn some heads.

Especially when you nail the throttle and the noise of the open dump hits - you can hear it a mile off!!!

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
