Stage Name

Recommended Posts

I picked up a black RS Four S last night. Just need to paint it Sonic Silver like my actaul Stagea now.

PSN: iHanso, feel free to add me. Or to swap/gift cars as required for trophies. I have a Subaru 360 with over 300k kms on the clock, that gets to trophies. I also have 5 cars spanning the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s & 00s for the half a decade trophy. More than happy to gift them if needed, once used just gift them back.

Has anyone won the Historic Touring Car Championship? it's the last thing left in that section :( if so, with what? my Camaro and my Cobra are a bit too crazy O_o

Oh and I've got two Stags.. a series 2 RS4 and a 260RS :D

LOL, I bought a Volvo 245 GLT for "shitzengiggles" the other night - it was a slug but I (kinda) fixed that with some mods to bring it up to around 170hp and a close ratio box. :D

Before the mods it would barely get to the top of 3rd gear in most sections of a track, now it does a lot better - but it still only tops out at about 168km/h... :( Still haven't done any suspension mods and it manages to get around quite a few cars in the back sections of the tracks I've used it on, but it gets slaughtered once you get to a straight.

I have only seen a single Stagea so far, but I didn't have enough credits to buy it at the time.

That HKS CT230R Lancer is an awesome little thing to drive, though! Been using that a fair bit in arcade mode when I have friends over.

i have a 260 and a RS4-S, both black, and thinking about it i dont think i've seen any other colour except for black in the used car lot. i haven't used them much, they just aren't quick enough. i'm just finishing off extreme in A-spec and about half way through in B-spec, then its the endurance races. has anyone done these yet? the 24hour races will be a killer.

Tom, if you want some cars add me and i shoot some though, PSN is Stagea99. i do the backup - send - restore trick so i don't loose any cars when i send them thumbsup.gif

i've got both rs260 and stock stagea. i find it funny that the rb25 puts out more power and is lighter when fully worked. Also should have spent more time saving money rather then buying random cars.

Like my 1600 coupe, bluebird coupe, ta22 celica,dodge charger and stageas!

i found i was constantly running out of money early on. had to keep grinding the same race just to win enough to buy a car required in another. once you get up past professional money isn't an issue, and doing seasonal events is good if you have the car for it, prize pots can be up to a couple of million. i keep buy cars all the time, mainly nissans and rare ones that pop up in the used car dealership an i've still got over 12mil, so i think money flow isn't as big of an issue latter on.

my biggest mistake was i ignored bspec until i got up to about professional in aspec. i had to go back and buy alot of cars i sold just to compete in those races.

I'm selling my code on eBay, I haven't even played B Spec yet. The only reason I bought the Signature edition was that I thought that the SLS AMG competition was open to everyone who forked out for that pack, not just for 15 players across the world who have no life except for playing GT5 B Spec 24/7.

eBay link - GT5 Signature Edition SLS AMG Competition code auction

Starting bid is $20, Buy It Now for $150. Up for the next 3 days.

I use the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel. I was $138 when GT5 came out, I bought it from Dick Smith. I couldn't justify the G27's cost, to my wallet & my wife :laugh:

    • Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?
    • They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.
    • Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!      
    • Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
    • I would be, however the last PS I owned was a PS1 and the last GT I played was GT1 lol. Also, how do you dads even have time to do anything? I barely have time to even sleep 7 hours a night!
