well done mate looks the business,i kinda like the yellow, dunno if i could live with it,.....no 2nd thoughts with the right wheels full window tint and all the other good stuff yeh in luv,

[GorGasm]

Welcome to the yellow club

[MrGTST]

Very nice

And also has the bodykit I would like to have on mine (rear and sideskirts)

[Brycey]

cheers guys

RBNT - yeah i had the same thoughts about living with the yellow, especially with the big body kit but im pretty happy with it the paint is in really good condition ( from what i could tell with a 1inch thick layer of bugs and dirt). lots of little things to fix on it like some cracks in the rear bar, drivers window doesn't go down either..

leetom - yeah your right, im itching to put the modena's on now but i figured that i just bought some brand new tyres for the standard wheels i might as well leave them on for the slips, but as soon as thats all done the new wheels are going straight on! im also very keen on getting the front windows tinted.

GorGasm - cheers mate

MrGTST - yeah the kit is massive the side skirts are almost like a step when you exit the car :-P there are some slight fractures around the place that i wouldn't mind getting fixed and reinforced.. i wouldn't mind getting a more open front bar.. also im going to look at removing the rear wing

the car has come with some pretty cool things. it has a HKS silent series exhaust ( cat back), carbon fiber (look-a-like) mirror covers + pillar covers, some strange wheel flair add ons ( haven't seen them before) and the massive kit.. also has a aftermarket earthling kit in the engine bay which is kinda confusing, it doesn't look like a brand kit, just looks like the previous owner liked yellow wires better than black :|. it has cloth interior with the touch screen setup, all in all im pretty happy with it AMAZING car to drive, well and truly exceeded expectations for the drive home.

1 had you ever driven a stagea before

2 if you dont mind where did you get it

3 if its got std boost get a manual boost controller[turbotech or powerup] and see how much better it drives with about 10psi of boost

4 now i'm being totally rude, how much?

1 had you ever driven a stagea before

this is the only stagea i have ever driven, Joe took me for a drive in his S2 a while ago just to give me a idea, I have driven a R34, 2 R33’s and a R32 but this is the first stagea. i flew down to Melbourne about 2 months ago when i first decided i was going to buy it just to have a look and whatever, took it for 2 test drives around the block and it seemed pretty good - i was happy with it at that stage, but just taking it for 10 hours straight trying all sorts of things with it, it was just so keen to go and go, so responsive and tight

2 if you dont mind where did you get it

i got it from a suburb in Melbourne, about 10 minutes away from the Tullamarine (spelling?) airport

3 if its got std boost get a manual boost controller[turbotech or powerup] and see how much better it drives with about 10psi of boost

yes it has standard boost and the solenoid is untouched

4 now i'm being totally rude, how much?

that’s for me to know

i did about 3 months of shopping around before deciding on this car. for what the car is, and the price i paid its a great car

[oxford1327]

welcome to the club.

i am certain you will be pleased overall with your purchase.

ifn ya don't want the rear wing i will buy it off ya as saves me painting another one!, or could do you a swap for an original one?

also could you tell me what breed the rear pillar covers are as i am looking to do the same to mine, either that or i was just gonna paint my original ones black so it looked like the windows continued right to the rear of the car.

that is unless you wanna sell/trade me them too???? hahaha

either way car looks fookin sweet, but have fun keepin the european wasps away from it, reckon they must think it is a big brother or somethin' cos doesn seem to matter where i go they seem to gather on it, little blighters in their stripey jumpers give me the sh#*s!

cheers oxford

[Brycey]

Oxford1327 - ah mate im very pleased. Things will be MUCH better when its registered! So amazingly tempting to take it for a drive now, im literally itching for it!! Haha

if I remove the wing then ill leave it smooth.. im just very interested to see how it will look with the big kit and no wing.. should be done within a few weeks so ill PM you when the wing is sitting in my room if you want

Hahah that's a new one about the wasps! Ill have to keep a bug-catcher on the back seat cheers for the compliment mate

edit: almost forgot to say, the rear pillar covers are DAYZ covers, i can get a closer picture of them if you want. im pretty happy with them at the moment so they wont be going anywhere sorry bud

[pixel8r]

Looks great!! Love that body kit too!

You'll love it - stageas are a great performance wagon.

And as mentioned, get used to the weird looks from people wanting to know what the hell it is

[Ska]

Welcome to the club! Bloody awesome kit, bout the first S2 that I have actually liked the look of!

[Brycey]

pixel8r - im already inlove and if i had a dollar for every strange look i got on the way home from melb, i recon i would have about... $16... hmm that wasnt as dramatic as i planned

Ska - thanks mate its growing on me too, the only thing im undecided on is the front bar.. but the more i go down to the garage to have a look ( every 5 minutes or so) the more i like it

Edited April 14, 2007 by Brycey

[Mr_RS4]

I agree with ska, I've never liked the look of the series 2 fronts. To me they just don't look as agressive but this one doesn't look to bad at all. Now I can't wait for my kit to be fitted, just 4 more weeks

[oxford1327]

i think when you take the wing off you will find that there are two dips in the top of the tailgate where the wing attaches, and also some holes you will hafta fill where the wiring goes through for your led tail light and of course the bolts that attach it.

if you could send me some pics of the pillar covers would be awesome or even better if you could find a part number on em?so i can see if i can get some from slidewize imports.

also wondering if yours came with a cargo net? if so and you don want it i will be only too glad to purchase that from you as well? hahahaha

cheers oxford

[Mr_RS4]

I've seen plenty of these covers on the Yahoo auctions. Just go to the slidewize site and look under stagea areo parts. There are usually quite a few of them on there. Infact I've even seen full under tray carbon difusers too. Really didn't know how much stuff is available for stags

[D3RV]

Looks nice man, I really like the colour. The one thing I can't say I'm too in love with is the kit (front + sides, love the rear), too crazy for me ^^. I guess I'm of much more simplistic taste

I'm sure you got great bang for your buck. Very rare to say, but your stag looks unique

Congrats!

[Mr_RS4]

Ok here you go:

http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v6925480

That was about 1 of many others I saw on there. To give you an idea. Always available.

[Brycey]

yeah there is shitloads available on yahoo auctions, there’s a few different designs aswell, ill get a picture in the morning of the type i have

oxford1327 - yeah im assuming that there will be some holes to fill etc.. ill get it checked out soon

Mr RS4 - i must agree that the S1 look alot more aggressive then the S2 but its all personal preference i guess

D3RV - cheers mate yeah i think the main thing i don’t like about the front bar is that it doesn’t have a very large mouth, there’s just a lot of body to it, and the body seems to go a fair way "in". its gonna be interesting to see how it goes with a front mount

[stasis]

congrats man!! you bought a nice rig. Very mean looking little monster. Like your kit and wheels.

Now wat mods do you plan to do to the rig? You will get addicted to it like SKA always say. LOL!! But good choice man
