Hmm, I obviously missed that page :(

Are they still THAT expensive at autowholesale ? Last time I checked them prices were... hmm.. hm... : :P

i think i double printed that page and handed it out. lol.

umm they arent bad prices at AWS. they arent the best but ive actually seen worse. and you can bargain them down. the chick that stole my car, (kidding) got it for 2k less than asking price.

you can certainly bargain them down but the cars till cost waaaaay more than if you import yourself

he he so everyone keeps saying. but you run the risk of buying a dud. its a small risk but still one nonetheless. thats what i dont want to deal with

So what exactly did she get and how much was the final price, if you dont mind me asking ?

car was sold for $18k which is what they were always after anyways... lol

go down to the sister company in cannington and find stagea's going for $18k, knock em down to $14k easy.

We all know what one can import one for so paying an extra $4k+ because a car yard is selling one is just stupid.

Oh, so she paid $18 k for Series 1 ? Isn't it a bit too much ? $14 K sound much better :)

How much is Series 2 then ?

yeah she paid 18k. gotta remember though, the thing had bodykit, stereo and 18's on it. im not saying that justifys the price, but it does ease the pain, lol. theres no way she could have got that car off them for less than that. i bargained, and they wouldnt budge lower than 18k no matter what.

series 2, i have not seen many around. although I am keen at looking at the yellow one at AWS. its advertised for like 26k, but I have spoken to them, and they are flexible with the price.

what would people pay for a Series 2. with like 40k on the clock.????

I'd ask to see the log book, if they don't have one then forget the 40k reading and look at the condition of the car only... what year is it? Say 98, that would mean 5,000km per year, it would be mint if correct.

Could be a good bargaining chip at least.

They all come with log book from AWS. Umm condition is pretty damn good. its 49k on the clock. 1998 model.

what price would it be worth. drives very nice. no noises. everything works.

:P I have had a look at the yellow one at AWS and it is in really good cond body wise - even underneath it looks damn near brand new. The only reason it is still there is because it originally hit their yard at $29K!!!!

BUT........

I know for a fact that it was used as a stage car for the 2006 TargaWest tarmac rally. I was a stage official on all 4 days and I have to say that you don't need much imagination to figure out how it was treated.

someone elses car + closed roads = drive it like you stole it.

It was the car that peaked my interest in Stagea's to start with but I would avoid that particular one like the plague...

it may be nice to drive at the moment, but it will show its abuse sooner rather than later

hmmm handy advice. thanks. sounds like i will be approaching a personal import i think. dammit. might ask imports 101 to start looking for me. might get already modded one. they are bloody good with pricing too.

can you email me some recent piccys???

Ska's car is a TRUE sleeper.

had a power tune I believe of 230awkw on the stock turbo........... with a highflow and poncams surely 270awkw could be achieved.

add in a bodykit from sau-member AMS and it'd be a beast

mine can be bought for $95k :)

I dont have a digital camera so the ones in my link under the "New Mags" link are the newest, but I can go out and take more if you want.........?

It has the stocker mags on it atm but, so doesnt look like much, which is great cause the only thing that gives away it's poer is the 4" tip now ;) Bad thing is that the 18" 235's used to just give a little squeak, but the stocker 15" with 205's well they spin through first and halfway through second, when on a private road of course, never on a public road......... :)

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
