1. the fact that no one knows wtf they are :) (no cop attention)

2. so versatile, can fit anything and everything in it.

3. the leather and dual sunroofs

4. tuneability

5. what other wagons besides a 300c look as cool as a stagea?

umm a Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 hands it to Stageas with a stick in the looks department.

No offence but you can't argue with that:

2.5L twin turbo 4wd to boot too, and from what I've read a better car to drive, handling ( has AYC like an Evo), Interior is far superior, blah blah

^^notice he didn't use the rear shot?

:pwned:

Yeerrr your riggght it makes me what to loose my lunch instantly... mate suck my balls.

This is infinately better

Pffft

They are both wagons.. so it's harder off the bat to look good. To say that a stagea is in a different league when considering the rear is a joke.

FW bias < RW bias any day

It may have a slight fw bias I think that With the goodies AYC etc it handles great put suspension on and your laughing. Not to mention WRC prefer a fw bias but thats getting waaay off topic. Don;t fool your slef with your wagons rw bias... what are you going to go sliding in a 4wd ?

Anyway. An importer who has driven both has said that the mitsu is a better drive and HANDLES better.

this is a Stagea section conrad, not a Legnum section

wtf kind of response are you after?

after all, your opinion and someone elses opinion wont necessarily = the same opinion.

personally I think the legnum sucks goat coch, but what I think obviously doesnt matter, does it?

this dealer you spoke of, did he/she discuss with you the expansive/expensive problems Legnums have with their tranny boxes? mild mods to the Stagea, such as a higherflowing turbo (how they should have come standard!) and swaybars with big meaty shock absorbers, would definately change this dealer friends opinion. 100% guaranteed.

but meh, so what. opionions count for nothing

Yeerrr your riggght it makes me what to loose my lunch instantly... mate suck my balls.

Dude, how about a nice cold drink of chill the f**ck out?

Opinions are like arseholes buddy, everyone has one, and some people like to show theirs on the internet.

I know I do, but it doesn't mean you need to kick it for me :pwned:

Dry ur eyes princess, not everyone is gonna agree with you on everything.

The question was put " what other wagons besides a 300c look as cool as a stagea? " so I answered.

I'm a Nissan man... though lets face it there Are better looking wagons, and that was the farking question. Opinions are well opinions... but if we took an aggregate collections of votes on which was more aesthetically endowed then you'd have the Leggie come out on top 90%. Just face it.

That's great that you like stageas (they are great cars).. and the fact that their looks make you feel giddy is ace, enjoy it.

Standard they are better handling cars.. that's what I've heard.. so I won't take it as gospel. But it's reason enough to warrant thought.

Aftermarket... well... likewise... how much money do you wanna spend at both?

Apologies if you took it as kicking you.. I was just saying I couldn't disagree more. Suck my balls was more figure of speech, it didn't translate obviously.

You used the vomit icon when comparing the rear end and when I post a pic of both up.. I think it's clear for all, that besides that they look bloody similar because they are both a farking wagon.. you couldn't call either of them far superior from each other... buts that's all arseholes/opinions.

I just took the your approach as not even seeing the picture.

That said. I didn't want to start a debate on which car you can jerk off to more.. I'll save that for another time and thread.

The First question remained, and I simply said yes I think there are other contenders.

true 'dat.

I guess we all have our reasons for owning "enter brand name/type here" said vehicle.

I for one wanted a skyline for the rb25 powah but a) couldnt fit (too tall) and b) need room for pram and kids.

stagea was the obvious choice. on a budget too (ie under 20k), couldnt find anything else at the time that offers the same or better "bang for buck"..... if only I could get a 3.0l twin turbo Supra wagon !!!

legnum's have only been recently ADR compliance approved, they wern't an option when a lot of the lads here in this sau stag section got their stagea's.

umm, Audi RS4 Avant?

BMW M5 Estate?

jus sayin....

lol yeh i forgot those ones.

Yeah look, the stagea is a great practical car that has far more performance than anything local.. and your right we do each have our own differences. I'll leave it there to not further rumble the nest.

Oh and damn you must be tall to not fit into a skyline

Supra estate.. lol.

personally I think the legnum sucks goat cock

lol

my thoughts exactly

so your 12.

ah ok.

f**k some people need to chill out :laughing-smiley-014:

i bought a stagea, but not cos of the looks. you can only get so much from a car

haven't got the bastard yet, but i'm hoping i'll like the ability to chuck my DH bike in the back (hopefully.. without taking the wheels off ....), the ability to go on sick holidays with lots of swag :lol:.. and still have fun in it...

Edited by jasevr4

I like mine cause its the only RED one Ive seen yet. [edit] In a Series 2 I mean

Oh yeah, there's the Leather interior, dual sunroofs, and the mirrors fold in when you lock it. I am a simple man with simple needs. I love it.

*rush's off to toilet for "quiet time alone*

and yes, I am 13

haha...

As for conrad, I think its a little unfair your comparing kitted cars in your pics, to a stock as a rock s1 stagea.

As for what I love about mine -

[s2] The woodgrain

[s2] Steering wheel shifting (ton of fun)

Leather seats (we've had this argument before, I like em' :thumbsup:)

Dual Sunroofs

Turbo spool just sounds awesome

It feels bulletproof

After driving a friends Sr20 180.. realised just how smooth it is

:) around a corner in the wet

And just the room inside, I won't have to sell it when I start a family :thumbsup:

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
