After 5 years of dreaming and 10 months of waiting I took delivery of my Series II Stagea today.

This may seem like a long time, but when your after something specific it's well worth it.

Every option under the sun roofs and all [pun intended]. (one thing I didn't get was side airbags but I reckon the wait may have been forever for that)

Just to name a few

That towel rail is fantastic! Enjoy, I know you will!

As you all know by now I really hated my Forester, but, in the spare wheel well (full size) there was a poly wash basin. You could take it out and do the dishes etc.

Silly buggers didn't fit a towel rail though. If it had one I might have liked the LEMON.

Well done! Never even seen one with a towel rail before! You've been waiting even longer than me... I've been looking for about 3 years, I paid a service fee to my chosen importer a couple of months ago and I'm struggling to find a series 2 in silver with leather... I can appreciate how you could spend 5 years (or 10) looking for one with all the right options, that's for sure. Awesome looking example you have there. Got any pics of the interior? I guess it is a prime ed with leather?

Yep Prime Edition with all the fruit.

Only got to drive it once from the importer to my mechanic for a major service (precautionary)

so I'm chaffing at the bit to get my filthy hands back on it.

The back has that "never sat in feeling"

That looks niiiice. I reckon that silver with leather has gotta be the rarest damn combo. I think I'm gonna settle for pearl white/leather. But silver looks best :D

nah dude pearl white in the right sunshine looks friken fantastic

just you wait......

wish I had leather interior tho

Well spotted, Shan! 100 points

Finally got it back from my mechanic yesterday and he absolutley loved it.

I think he kept it a few extra days so he could drive it around......

Noticed these little gems whilst driving at night this evening

Can't really see the point of them but they light up white when the doors open

Then if your headlights are on and your driving, they glow green(!?)

Kinda makes you feel like you're in an aeroplane :laughing-smiley-014:

The dude who bought this car really optioned it to the max...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
