So its 'that' time of the month for you is it...

There is no rule stating that a VIP car has to be a sedan... i dont think Hummers are sedans and there are plenty of them done this way...

I have seen plenty of VIP wagons just no stageas.

if you are against people being different, why dont you go buy some fully sick N/a 6cyl VS Commonwhore, dump it on some fully sick 16's and add 3 inch exhaust (dont forget the chrome tip :action-smiley-069:)

Oh, and the bundy sticker.

maybe there are plenty of blinged out hummers over in the us,but they're not VIP cars. just like blinging up a stagea won't qualify. you could put carbon fibre bits all over it and throw in a roll cage,but it wouldn't be a race car then either... it's a wagon,that's all it'll ever be. I own one too remember,and don't feel any need to make it what it's not,although it is far from standard,it's not pretending to be anything other than a daily driver with a bit of go.

as for the 'time of the month' bit,you'll have to try far harder than that to upset me mate. I call a spade a spade. a stagea is NOT a VIP car. it doesn't matter what you do to it,it never will be. I'm not against people being different, I don't give a toss what you do to your car,you're the one driving it,not me. I won't agree with your calling it something it's not though. delude yourself all you like,but don't expect me to smile and nod.

ok so lets just completely diss the guys idea of trying to do something different and to his own taste? Who's call is it to say what is and isnt a VIP car? Most people who buy a stagea do so because they see potential in something different, they see something others dont, and go for it, and some of us go out of our way and pockets to make it our own. Normally someone with the common sense to see what a stagea is, and BUY one, has the common sense to shut their mouth (or still their fingers) when there comments are neither warranted, or needed. xo

Oh and Felix the bar was originally a Nismo bar, but has been modded, cut and fibreglassed to nearly beyond recognition. Chris (AMS on these forums) can get u my full bodtkit, through monkey warehouse. As has been said, not a great deal available in aus for the stagea, so i got the nismo kit and did a custom job. Thanks for the interest!

And as everyone else on here says - good luck with the build, hope it turns out how u want, and i look forward to seeing the finished product!! Ive seen a couple of nice VIP wagons - a Black BMW and a white Mercedes, both done very subtle but effective.

I reckon it'd look tops mate... a set of this style wheel would look schmicko

http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/eudhp/spec-1.html

Those wheels are alright, but too common for my liking - even if you rarely would see/have ever seen them on a Stagea. But that's just my opinion... I prefer the subtle street sleeper - nice wheels, lowered suspension, and a few detail items here and there to set the car off, but not draw too much attention except from other enthusiasts.

As far as wagons being VIP's, there was a black Toyota Crown posted ages ago done by Junction Produce, who mainly focus on VIP-style cars anyway... Looks very similar to an s1 Stagea, so I think the results will be to your liking. I actually quite like it myself! :(

hahahhaa yeah there not cheap but there the real deal in BLING, i can arrange some better prices but there never gonna be a cheap rim.

If u really wanna go extreme can do specail orders for jewel encrusted wheels too ...not fake jewels but real emeralds,saphires, rubys, diamonds etc covering bout 60% of the wheels (some expensive kurb rash) and diamond encrusted wheel nuts

Theres a video clip by lil romeo i think called dubz check it out to get the idea,

... you can also design your own rims,

anyways jus to give you guys some ideas and if you need anything jus gimme a shout

Lee ;)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
