Hey Stag Aholics ! :action-smiley-069:

Just Thouht I would ask when did you buy your stag...who has had the Beast for the longest ? hahaha also what KMs did it have when you bought it ?

Bought mine 18 / 3 / 2008 .. 44k on the clock :whistling:

Feels like I have had it for Years hahah but still love it everytime I drive it ( daily ) :banana:

Cheers everyone!

I bought my M35 back in Dec 08 going on nearly 3yrs. I would of been the 2nd or 3rd in Adelaide to own one. Only cos I know danwatt had one before me.

My wife was almost going to buy a Tuscon :down: . Im so glad she liked the stag. :thumbsup:

Its done about 90kms and I have put the last 35k on it.

Bought our 1997 25x S1 way back in 1999 with 74K on the clock (one of the first in NZ). Sold it last year with 176K on the clock and totally trouble-free from day one. Apart from normal maintenance, all she needed was a cambelt at 100K.

Replaced the S1 in 2010 with a 2006 M35 S2 250RX private import with 83K on the clock, now sitting on 97K. All good so far.

F N good to see all the stags out and about ! Adelaide has some real nice ones rolling around !

When I bought mine like 3.5 years ago I use to get shit from Holden and ford drivers left right and center hahah nothing has changed but when I pull up at the lights they look like they r paying so much attention to the green light all I can do is laugh haha ! Got more then a mouth full few weeks back from a VT SS driver with cam and penis extension driving back from from whoop whoop on a sunday Cruz with Missz n Dog on a 0 to 80 traffic light.. Light turns green .. He stalled it ahahaha was changing cd and had no intention of "dragging" him but god only if I had it to put on u tube ahaha I laughed all the way home lmao

1997 s1 RS4 with manual conversion already done :thumbsup: , bought in October 05 (I think?) with roughly 77k on it, took it for a rego check yesterday and it was on exactly 143,900kms.

1999 RS4 manual conversion done, was bought mid-late last year with 107,000 ks now 118,000 including the drive up from brissy (1600ks), had to replace the clutch and a couple services. Thats it. So happy with it

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
