This was on Ebay last year, he wanted somewhere at least $6500, obviously it was a little ambitious.whistling.gif

Originally, he was making out that it was only a couple of grand to repair; which we all know is basically bollocks.

Also, the rules have changed in NSW, so if a NSW buyer wanted it; this is basically a no-go unless you want to strip it.

Basically anything thats been declared write off (even if only for financial reasons) cant be re-registered in NSW, is that correct?

SA still allows for financial write offs to be re-registered, but if it has any structural damage it'll never be road registerable.

$6.5k? You can buy a whole new Stagea for somewhere around $12k these days! Very ambitious. Its definitely a bit of work requried to get it back on the road, and theres a signficiant lead time in sourcing the parts (all has to come via sea). Definitely not a small project or one for the uninformed. Plus axis front ends are a bit more scarse to come by 2nd hand, likewise with the guards.

Less damage and kms that were on my car... but less mods too.

Only just slightly less than yours! Looks like it has an exhaust of some description, but no idea about the car other than that.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the case; I have a couple of mates who buy damaged RWO (repairable write off) bikes and repair them, they've basically stopped now.

HAS HAD AN ADDITIONAL "SENTINEL WARRANTY PLAN" TAKEN OUT ON THE VEHICLE FOR 60 MONTHS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE

Erm... would you really expect them to honour the warranty now?

Lol, except for the front left corner being smashed to shit...

Who's stripping an AXIS for the track; you might as well start with one of these...

Is the owner of this car on SAU?

Didn't someone dinged his AXIS a few months ago?

I dont think they're on here. That car has been off the road for a while. I think Angus Smart posted about it when it was up for sale last time. You might be thinking of the silver Axis that went through pickles 6 or so months ago, that was up on M35Stagea.info for discussion. Went for over 3k at auction iirc

This axis has been on fleabay a few times now. Last time it was towards the end of last year and it did sell. I assume the buyer didn't end up paying as its the same guy listing it for sale again. I can't remember what it did sell for though. This seller must buy a lot of repairable write off cars from auction and try to on sell on fleabay for a quick profit. He has a heap of cars for auction and all apparently needing stuff all work.

Well it seems my old stagea has officially been written off.

Suggest all the SA lads keep an eye on the auctions and local wreckers.

Might be able to score yourselves some dayz carbon accessories and kit.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
