Hey guys,

Unfortunately I need to sell the stagea, as my wife finally wants to learn how to drive. So, I'm gonna need a small manual hatch. Any suggestions on what I should get? Probably something pretty cheap, so I can start up a fund to buy another one in the next year or 2..

On the topic of the Stagea, if anyone wants a cheap one, its in the for sale section, $10k pretty much stock (with stereo + immobiliser + alarm), or $12k with extra rims, exhaust, sub and amp. I am up for part trades.

Will be sad to see it go.

when my wife wanted to learn to drive, I had to sell the auto EB Falcon Wagon, bought a Pulsar Plus 5speed hatch.

+11ty for joining Teh Pulsar Fury Brigade

All the cool kids are doing it

(N15 SSS is the one I would recommend, it will make losing the stagea a little less heart breaking if you don't have to go all the way down to a GA16 *shudders*

SR20 goodness FTW!!!)

Can't learn in the Stagea because of stupid nsw laws.... no turbos, v8s, blowers, engine conversions, performance mods etc.... sucks. If anyone knows of someone who might want to part trade or buy a cheap Stag, give me a pm.... geez this sucks, I wish I could afford another car.

If she's still on her Learner's, then there shouldn't be an issue with the fact that the Stagea is a turbo. If she's on her P's, then fair enough. A Stagea is a pretty stealthy car to drive around in, but it's not worth the risk of her losing her licence...

you pulsar haters are just not manly enough to handle the insane torque steer hahaa..

nah - I had a n14( the best of the pulsar breed ) that put out 150kw at the front wheels

weighed 1100kg - so pretty good power to weight

oh and the n14's had independant rears :P

what about an mx5? not terribly fast but good balance etc?

If she's still on her L's, as mentioned, in NSW, she can still drive the Stagea. The restrictions do not apply until she gets her P plates. Also, if you two live together, and it's the only car, you may have very strong grounds for an exemption.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
