definately looks like a base model RS four. But im inclined to think its a 25t X Four.

This model came with wood grain, optional privacy glass but is supposed to have a front spoiler and fog lamps.

You may want to check it out.

'Tis a 97. and does anyone one have any more info on this ARX variant? I wouldn't mind finding out a bit more - and it is definately badged up as a RS Four

May be the 97 version, just an option i guess. Could be the ARX style before they started badgin thtem as such, was what i was implying. Definitely looks like the soft-roader version. Maybe the lip was an optional extra that everyone but errr.... your cars previous owner opted for? Same as the glass? But for some reason the dude couldnt live without his woodgrain.

Jays is a 96, same colour, and has the lip and privacy glass, badges as RSfour, mine is 97, same colour, and also has the lip and privacy glass, so its not a year-model issue.

Never seen woodgrain though...

Yours looks just like the brochure car, which is also badged RSfour, but has a grille that noone here has. (again - til i get mine this week...)

Once I have my sweaty lil mits on the keys to "Z Beast" then I may change my handle, but I am having toomuch fun learning from all you fine people to bother right now :P

Haha nice. Well it could be worse - ive had the handle 'qikstagea' for more than a year and mine is probably the slowest on here hey. in a few days ill show you wat your stagea looks like with a Nismo bodykit and 18s hey. I get it back from the shop soon.

Did you find out much about the history of your stagea? as far as why yours is the only one to surface on SAU without the front lip? Hey have a look under you front bar to see if there was ever a lip bolted on there ie are there bolt holes etc... very curios. yours is a one of a kind, dale.

I will be getting it on Tues this week so I will know for sure, but when I went to have a look at it, there were no obvious holes etc from where it might have been removed, but don't quote me on it yet.

The really weird thing about the car is the fact that it has been in the country since 2003. It was actually the 3rd Stagea to be complianced in WA.

More details as they come to hand.

Nah - I had to put it back until Thursday due to work commitments, and I will be busy all thursday and friday rolling naked across the bonnet moaning "mine mine mine" so I may be able to chuck some pics up on Saturday sometime

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
