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.

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...)

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.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
