Finaly Got My Stagea

[Aegats]

After a long search I finaly got my Stagea. Been to nearly every dealer in Sydney and some private ones interstate (and spent a lot on car inspections fees). Some good and a lot bad, so without further ado here she is. Crappy mobile phone pics unfortunately.

Things to do are get the radio to pick up Aust channels, reversing camera and after a month or so get the turbo built up. Shes needs a good detail and I´ll do an oil change in a few weeks.

[Aegats]

So far the car is good. Just picked it up and drove straight home as I shit to do. Love the power.

Congratulations on the new ride, she looks lovely, with a bit of luck I will have mine by the weekend, I can't wait.

[Daleo]

Congrats, and welcome.

[SABBAi]

Nice looking rig mate!

[TWOAR81]

Mate nice ride..... Love the axis in white!

[Cowboy1600]

Congrats on the new wheels.

Don't mind the M35s. I'd have one if they came in manual. But alas, they do nos, so I'll make do with the 34

[Aegats]

Thanks everyone. Just need to start personalising it to my specs

[PN-Mad]

Adding my congratulations. Hope you like it and treat her nice.

Looking forward to see the mods.

NEEDS MOAR LOW!!

Looks nice, good luck with it! I actually saw one very similar driving through town today. Looked awesome in white, hadn't seen a white Axis before then.

So future mods...

- get the radio to pick up Aust channels - Guessing you have a Bose, so just get a band expander for it unless theres an issue with it. Then when it breaks down, you can replace it with a G35 fascia which will give you a standard 2 DIN hole.

- reversing camera - slippylotion posted up a guide a month or so ago using an ebay special camera. I take it you've got the screen? Just do a search, you'll find it, pretty easy and the cameras are only ~$30-40 on ebay.

- get the turbo built up - Why so soon? Can of worms is open!

Definelty needs MOAR low.

Wasn't a fan of the whites in the rs,rx models but the axis in white looks better than the other models.

I'm not sure what stereo as l'm already at work and didn't check. Hopefully just a quick fix.

For the reversing camera trying to get that done ASAP . I can't seem to get access to slippylotions post but trying to sort something out.

With the turbo ive been told they start to let go around 100k mark so I have some time to save for a new one.

Scotty has found it's oil feed (or lack thereof) that kills them. If they're poorly maintained the banjo to the turbo blocks and starves the turbo of oil.

Just drill it out to 2mm and you should be right.

And I am a fan of the RS in white... thats what I've got!

[Aegats]

Ahh gotcha, sorry to be a noob but where the hell is the banjo located. I've searched the forum and cant see any pics of what it looks like or how to.

[scotty nm35]

There is really no point in taking pics, you can barely see up there and without knowing where the pic was taken from it wont help much.

You can see the oil line if you take off the undertray and look up from the passenger side. Just in front of the driveshaft there is a metal 8mm line with a banjo into the block, remove this and drill out to 1.5mm, then clean any swarf and gunk from the hole before refitting. Is your turbo noisy? Some stockies sound like a jet taking off.

[Aegats]

Will check it out when I get home. The turbo doesn't sound too noisy. I've driven 4 M35's and mine sounds like them all in terms of turbo loudness.

Really? I think the pearl white looks hot in the rs/rx...

admittedly I'm not a huge fan of the AXIS/ARX...looks fat/bloated

nice pick up mate -
