[Mr_RS4]

^^^^DITTO but both can be dealt with

[yokotas13]

1: Horriblt front suspension design, needs an S chassis (180/240type) front setup

2. Horrible rear suspension angle that lets me hit my wheels on the coilovers

3. Lack of areas to mount gauges nad other random toys

4. THe stupid cupholders that wont hold a 20 Oz bottle

5. The fact i dont have heated seats

6. Lack of aftermarket support.

[joe26f]

1. Stupid broken clip thingy in the top of my cargo area

2. Chick at the newsagent thought it looked like a old person's car when i asked if she liked my new car, she preferred my 82' XE falcon

3. Every pulsar and VL wants to have his go

4. Skyline drivers don't even look...ignorant

2. fuel consumption

3. lack of towbar + cruise control and other aussie can't live withouts

That is all

[munchstagea]

1. It really needs a nice respray

2. It is an auto

3. Cruise control would be nice

4. Can't drop skids with so much traction (bloody hoon!)

That is all...

[DevilsHatred]

1. it needs majour repairs thanks to a medium strip

2. its an auto

3. everything costs so much

4. i use $200 fuel in 3 days

5. everyone calls it a volvo {except my sister she calls it a granny car}

[3intheBack]

Oh, for crying out loud

and slobbering down the sink!

I've created another monster ...I left the numbers blank because there is nothing to hate..

(except maybe the lack of cruise control)

My wife warned me this would happen...but then when do I ever listen to her...

[Ska]

Always listen to your wife, they are always right, even when they are

[Tangles]

1. lack of drivers legroom

2. lack of drivers headroom

3. lack of backseat legroom once drives seatrail extended to make up for deficit #1

4. should have come stnd with a higher flowing turbocharger

[Stinky Rooster]

WTF were you expecting?

If everyone loved their stag unconditionally, this forum would be a pretty damn boring place with everyone talking about how they AREN'T modifying their car because it is perfect just the way it is....

The thing that I love about the car modifying culture is that everyone has their own ideas and perceptions on how things should be done.

Oh, and ALWAYS listen to She Who Must Be Obeyed.......

[AlexCim]

Just to piss everyone off

- I have a tow bar

- I have cruise control

- I have the gauges mounted nicely

- I have enough leg room

- I have a highflow turbo

- I have decent fuel consumption (10L hwy, 14L city)

- I have found the upgrade kit (Bilstein/Whiteline) excellent, double wishbones are the bomb

- I have wheels that look great, fit well and don't rub at all

- I have found aftermarket support pretty great, I've gotten every replacement part pretty easily. Just had to use my brain in some cases

BUT, what annoys me

- auto, 4wd and heavy (not AS fun, cant drift/skid it, chews tyres/fuel when on the fang)

So then my question, why isnt someone buying my reasonably priced, well equipped, well performing wagon?

[Wildcat]

1) I LOVE MY STAGEA

2) I LOVE MY STAGEA

3) I LOVE MY STAGEA

4) I DONT LOVE STRANGE MEN CHECKING MY CAR OUT IN CARPARKS OR AT LIGHTS..BUT

5) I DO LOVE MY STAGEA

[Sydneykid]

1. I don't drive it enough to enjoy the superior handling from the double wishbone suspension all round

2. I don't have enough time to fit all the parts I have for it in the garage

3. The fuel tank isn't big enough when towing the race car (which also has double wishbone suspension all round)

4. People keep wanting to borrow it, fast waggons are not exactly common

5. I keep thinking what it would be like if I just slipped an RB31DET into it

cheers

[Stinky Rooster]

excuse my nOObness (again) but WTF is a RB31DET??

I have read up on the RB30 upgrade (and am currently in negotiations for my left testicle )

as I think the torque gain makes it the most viable mod for the ol' family truckster but what is the 31 bit?

Overbore perhaps?

[AlexCim]

RB31 is the same as an RB23, RB24, RB27 or RB28. You take a given RB block, 20/25/26/30 and then increase either the bore or the stroke to give you more displacement.

4. People keep wanting to borrow it, fast waggons are not exactly common

Do any of them actually wanna put down the money and buy one? I know a pretty nice one for sale
