Looking At Getting A Stagea

[matt_stanley]

Hi guys,

Looking at getting a stagea as a daily to drive to and from work and perfrom daily duties. Just wondering what the tank size is and how many km's people are getting out of a tank. Looking at s1 at this stage. I'm pretty sure the tank size is 68l according to buyers guide but some sellers are saying its a 50l tank???

Thanks

Matt

60ltr tank and 450-500ks to a tank depending on lots of things

im series 2, 400-430ks a tank. thants with a exhaust system, running 10psi, and no over drive in my gearbox (stage 2 rebuild)

so its still going pretty well.

dont plant it and the fuel should stay there, that said daily duties could be alot of things. if you load them up full and car now weights close to 2t the fuel wont be the same.

C34 (series 1 & 2) - tank is 68L (around 58L when the light comes on). average is 400km to a tank for s1, maybe less? 450km to a tank for s2. 10.7L/100km on the highway, avg around 13-14L/100km in the city.

M35 - tank is 78L. (light comes on around 60-65L) average 450-500km to a tank. 9.5L/100km on the highway, 12-14L/100km in the city.

You can improve the economy with an aftermarket piggyback ecu, I was getting 11-12L/100km in adelaide with my old s2. Thats with a 3" exhaust, larger turbo (more time off boost), and apexi safc. It had 160awkw at the time.

Also remember they need premium fuel. So they are not the cheapest wagon to run around in. Insurance is also more expensive than aussie cars. However most of us agree the luxury and performance/handling aspects generally outweigh the cost.

hi mate i just bought a 260rs put 60l in without light on so i'm guessing 68l in total, 460 to the tank 1/2 city 1/2 freeway normal driving giving it a squirt every now and then was very impressed with it as my v6 commodore used way more and had heaps less power .

Mine is still for sale

~450km from 50lt of BP's finest daily driven, or 550+ on the fwy

I thought it was a 65L tank.. with 320awhp and a tired auto I get ~400km/tank city driving with a bit of highway and if it's all highway (driving down south or something) it's nearly 600km/tank.

P.S. That's a series 2 with a hiflow, 550cc injectors to go in soon so with some more boost will probably be a bit thirstier

hey guys thanks for all the help. From what I'm reading they are no where near as fuel hungry as I thought. I was looking at this stagea in particular but the seller says he gets 300-350 in traffic, seems low for a fairly stock car???

Thanks for all the help

I have dual sunroofs, all the basic mods covered, all the maintenance items covered, awesome audio setup, MSN in my profile, mobile number in my sale thread.

buy, add ECU, add high flow = win

or buy another, and spend 7-10k on mods and maintenance items
