Woooooo

another new thread for a new arrival to the country.

After 4 months of waiting I finally saw and drove my new 99 RS stagea tonight. And omg it's so awesome lol.

I work in the new car industry, holden and mazda, and compared to anything new by them, this feels so much better to drive! its so smoothe and comfortable. Mind you I'm coming from a background of owning R31s, but yeah.

I'll get pics up asap. It's only standard, complete with moulded mudflaps, but it's mint, bar some rust under the mirrors on the doors, and a couple of bumper scrapes.

just thought i'd share my excitement and remind you all how nice stag's are. ehehe

[IMPORTD]

yay another one least it isn't grey lol congrats

I just got the rust cut out of mine under the mirrors.. I feel so much better

[Silhouette31]

first issue. i cant go over half throttle without it jurking around, like its starving for fuel my importer reckons the engine bay was washed out this morning and its playing up, i hope its just water in coilpacks or something...

but anything under half throttle its awesome and smoothe

oh and it's gone through bout 1/8th tank of fuel in 35km's... seems a bit steep since ive been babying the hell outta it.

Welcome to the world of stagea - just get your pay direct debited to BP!

Yep, congratulations and welcome aboard! I think my only issue with my car is the higher fuel consumption, but then again it could be a lot worse!
