granted, legnums are a nother viable option. however, you lose:

boot space

space in general

aftermarket support

cheaper parts

factory 5 goodness...

a better looking interior

you do gain things too

Tougher front end

more modern shape

MUCH cheaper for the initial purchase

the dark purple is nice....

Ive driven both an auto and manual twin turbo leggy and i will say that they are pretty responsive. You get A 5spd auto too, not 4, im pretty sure.

We need to do a cruise with all the wagons - libertys, stageas, legnums, wrx wagons, toyota caldinas etc. Would be cool.

Wagonpalooza.

you do lose a little space, stagea is 940mm between the strut towers, legnum is 890mm, and the interior space is a bit smaller, you notice it in the 2 front footwells the most.

aftermarket support is there, RHDjapan sell a shiteload of gears, and alot of manufacturers like tein, fujitsubo, pro shop iida, make parts for them.

cheaper parts is one downside.. but then it depends what you're after and want to do, a VR4 dump/front pipe setup is cheaper than that for a RB25/26, and a cat back exhaust is much the same.

factory 5 goodness.. do you mean a 5spd gearbox? because you can get a 5spd tiptronic, or a 5spd manual (VR4 manual's are alot more common that stagea manuals too...)

the better interior is in the eye of the beer-holder too.. personally i love my leather, carbon fibre, and recaro's over anything the stagea offers.. however there is also tan/black leather, straight black leather, suede, black/red cloth, and S1 stagea style cloth too.

in the end, its up to what you like.. a smaller nimble little car with plenty of torque that will run low 14's out of the box, or a larger car with more room, more available parts and support and a different look.

i would have bought a stagea myself if kylie didnt already have one.. now we just have a sexy black S1 rs-4 stag, and a sexy super vr-4 legnum in the driveway. :D

i guess the real question is... would you prefer people to say "nice volvo!" OR "nice magna!" ;)

Just buy both ;) I did.

*edit* That said, in about 2 weeks, once compliance is done, I'll have a 5speed tiptronic, dark purple Legnum with AYC up for sale... So if you decide against Stageas... To hell with it, everyone was shamelessly plugging THEIR cars...

    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something? 
    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.
