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!!!

Hmm, I obviously missed that page :laugh:

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

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
