Will do,

can anyone tell me from the photos does it have the navi and all the bells?

Make sure you inspect it well. I've bought a few theft recovered vehicles and there could be significant stuff that you can't see. The crim could have driven it over kerbs, trashed the hell out of the motor or gearbox (they do that sort of s*#t to them). I'd be checking the underside and suspension. If you can start it that'd be good too (they will let you and sometimes help with a jump). Find the compliance plate too as you may have rego issues if it's gone.

From the looks of it it had an aftermarket stereo (face plate is not on), OEM didn't have removeable faceplate. It's got the screen but that doesn't neccesarily mean it'll work, if the DVD Rom was removed when they fitted the stereo it won't work at all.

Hopefully that wont be happening for a long while.. i've wanted a stagea for so long now!

Hope it has been worth the wait, they are a great car to drive that's for sure. I can't believe I was considering blowing masses of money on a new Holden Commodore Sportswagon.

I'm also glad I seen the Stagea before I went and brought a VZ second-hander too, I looked at a few but they no where near as good as a Stagea.

Hopefully we will catch up with you at the meet next month :(

Yes, all the AWD ones do.

I used it getting into Hotham (which is at 1750m) in the middle of a blizzard after rain. so the road was icy and very slippery. But this mode made it easy as you don't get the boost coming on so quickly so it avoids all the excess torque as you keep the car going.

Cheers

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
