What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[66yostagea]

I luv the brick duco on the guard. Where did you get it?

[GoldZilla]

Damn those Swedes and their keenly priced flatpack temptations.

And their carpark.

Indeed, probably getting back at my LOLvo for not being the genuine Swedish article...

I resent that..

Too bad about the paint though.. What was the cause?

I'll go out on a limb, and say it was a yellow car park pole........

Correct, I reversed into a yellow parking bollard. I was tired and wasn't paying proper attention - lucky for me it wasn't another car or, even worse, a person.

The what, Hugh? If you mean the terracotta colour on the ground, then it's just concrete paint/sealant that's slowly being removed so we can repaint it.

lol you get used to that. I drove to Canberra for a meeting yesterday morning....2 tanks required. The way that engine pulls is spectacular....but so is it's fuel use

On a similiar note to the reverse incident above, kurbed my rim.

Had them a year and haven't touched a thing....

Rushing in pulling into traffic with a crying bubba in the back gets you this:

No dent, just a rub.

Filled the gash up with permanent marker as per importers recommendations... glad I didnt powder coat them dark grey now.

That's why I hate stretched tyres. I'd rather rub a soft tyre against a gutter than damage my wheels.

lol you just upset so many drifters (if such people still exist, they are probably "time-attackers" now).

can't beleive the number of people that have told me that stretched tyres are better than a correct fit. They all knew better than a) the manufacturers and b) the race teams (all the way up to f1). I've never seen a stretched tyre on a serious race car

Tell that to team hectic:

Dont want to start a stretch vs no stretch debate, I agree with all points (except maybe the homophobic bit), but 245s are as big as I need and aren't super stretched.

This size was even on the tyre's data sheet to match my rim size.

265s would be great but then I would rub guards and my car would not gain any everyday useable grip with only basic suspension and brake mods.

I could've spent the same money on a cheaper tyre type that were wider and have less grip in the end.

In the end nothing would've saved a 19" rim from the angle I glanced the kurb on.

Fitment looks good bud, don't listen to anyone else, mod the car to suit you.

[impul535w]

F&$k the haters.

^^^^^What size/offset and tyres are you running?

[impul535w]

^^^^^What size/offset and tyres are you running?

19x9.5 +22 wrapped in 225/40 R19

[richzx]

Any rubbing at all or have you rolled your guards? I have some 19x9.5 +35 to go on mine when I get some tyres but I'm going for 245/40/19.

[impul535w]

Fronts are already rolled ex factory so I didn't touch them, did roll the inside lip on the rears just in case but have yet to scrape.

[richzx]

Looks great! Got anymore pics? Sorry if you've posted them previously I'm not on here all that much.

Thanks.

They are 19x.9.5 +12 with 245/(uncertain on the profile, I think they were 30) if anyone was interested.
