Hi all, :blink:

I have been browsing this site for quite a while now but thought i would finally join up to take advantage of the knowledge available - you guys have had stageas a lot longer than we have and seem to have worked through the probelms already.

After almost buying a Garage Saurus tuned Stagea a couple of years ago (i went for a beemer instead in the end :rolleyes: ) i finally got round to buying one, a 1997 RSFour back in January to be my daily driver.

I will start a little project thread later (when i am not supposed tpo be working :D )

Thanks for the welcomes guys. As you can see from over there < i am an essex boy from blighty :D

I have been part of owners clubs for quite a while now and am more than aware of annoying newbs not using the search button. You might still find some newb type threads posted by me but there are language differences so be patient :blink:

The buyers guide was very handy

:rolleyes:

Tell me about it, at the time i couldnt really decide what i wanted - i had an Audi A3 as a company car so in the end settled for the bm as a track toy/plaything. Should have just got me another S14a - hindsights great :rolleyes:

The good thing is i got there in the end

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.
