Many moons ago, when the world was young and frivolous, men were men, women were grateful and sheep were nervous, someone on these forums posted some scans of a HPI magazine article that was done on the Stagea when it was first being considered for compliance. I have lost all but 1 of the pics but I am really hoping someone still has them and can repost them for me.

I would really like to find out what issue the article was in and I would even be interested in buying a copy if anyone has one they will part with.

The main reason for this flurry of interest is because I have just found out that the car in the artcile is the one I am now a proud owner of!

In breathless anticipation of an answer....

Thanks

Thats the one!!

No wonder I didn't find it on a topic search - its a HPI magazine, not a bl00dy zoom - it says so on the bottom of the page!

Now, if any one has a copy of that issue they are willing to part with, PUHLEEEEEEASE let me know either here or on PM.

If I got a dollar for everyone thats has said "yes I have a copy, no I don't want to sell it" I would be able to give you $100 and have enough left over for a bottle of jacks and a feed of KFC.... :P

I have even tried to buy a back issue from HPI but they don't have any left

:P

I have a crapload of street machine mags from 1994 to present if anyone wants to work out a deal for swapsies

Have you tried ordering a back issue? Slim chance they will have any but worth a shot...

Sorry! Should have read your post more carefully!!!

Post up a WTB with a price, never know your luck, probably better off looking outside the Stagea area of the site too (if you haven't already) as Stagea owners would more likely want to hang onto an issue that had a Stagea feature in it? That is what I would do anyway. You are playing to the wrong crowd here!

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
