I am selling a 1996 Series 1 Stagea.

It has very low compression in first cylinder (30psi)

The car has 117000km on it and is standard except for:

Hybrid front mount intercooler

Pod air filter

18 inch Rodney Jane wheels and brand new tyres

Microtech LT10 computer

As you can see from the pictures car is very straight and interior is in excellent condition. Transmission also works well.

I purchased this car from Queensland 4 weeks ago and drove it back to Canberra. A change in circumstances means that I can't afford a replacement motor. The car is sitting at Trojan Motorsport in Canberra at the moment, at this stage I may need to leave it with them as a wreck (if they are interested). I need to make a decision about the car by Tuesday 10th March so I am open to offers. I would prefer to sell the whole car but if I have enough interest, i'll sell parts.

Give me a call on 0421 499 699. The car is drivable and I am more than happy to assist with delivery.

Is it piston rings or head gasket?

Have you tried squirting oil into the cylinder to see if you get the compression up? This would tell you if the rings are gone.

      No engine fan = quieter getrag ???

      By Butters · Posted

      Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.

      Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
