saw a red stagea with plates "STAGEA" on orrong road about 4pm yesterday, some older woman driving it with kids i think. stock as a rock :D

If this is the same car Brad...with red number plate it is actually a guys on sau (from WA)....he is actually selling it from memory!!! I asked him if i could buy his number plate off him and he said if i give him 16k i would get his car free...hehehehe :(

just back from car show at Parklands on Gold Coast. Did not see a single Stagea

Lots of Skies Sils & 180's and one Cifero.

Very disappointing!!!!!!!!!

When are we going to exhibit? Or do we keep it to ourselves?

Will there be any Stagea's at the Melbourne Auto Salon?

Next weekend (29th - 30th April)

Would be nice to see something there, the only Stagea I have seen in the flesh now belongs to Humble... I should see mine arrive this week though so I will be fairly enthusiastic by then!

Cheers

Luke

Luke,

Nice work! Anyone else?

ouch thats gotta hurt, i must say thats a fair effort though, considering you were just about sitting on the speed limiter

yeah... well to recollection i was cruising on the limiter (fuel cut off a couple of times). ADR allows speedos to be within 10% accurate, which comes into play the faster your going, so yeah. id say i was cruisin at 180. Im not thrilled about the whole situation, but yeah. they should raise the speed limits between 1 and 5 in the mornings on that stretch of road! haha ive never seen such a tiny picture of a car in one of those photos but... i was pretty far by the time its shutter snapped! :whistling:

ps i am a big fan of your front bar - its a 260, right? really big fan. just had a Nismo one fitted. pics soon, as well as the rest of the kit.

and techo - shall scan, shall post, shall be laughed at lol. at least i know all my tail lights work wonderfully. and my number plate lamp must be BRIGHT as a MOFO cos i dont remember a flash.

Yeah series 2 260rs front bar, if only i had the sideskirts to match :whistling:

spotted silver s1 stock as a rock drivin along the foreshore in newy late sunday arvo.

caught me by surprise as i had not yet spotted any other stageas wen i've been in mine.

i'm sure the fella behind the wheel was just as shocked.

pretty sure it had qld plates on it

Spotted white series 2, came through drive through at work, I said nice Stagea, he said most people dont know what they are...

So i asked if he saw mine parked next to the menu board. lol

Was very neat with leather. Sweet lookin Stag

Spotted a light green Stagea turning off Parramatta Rd today around Haberfield, approximately 12.30pm. It had an extra pair of driving lights in the bottom of the front bar, but looked otherwise standard. Was being driven by a female. Soccer mum, maybe?

Unfortunately, I wasn't in mine at the time.

Stageas - you want stageas. We've got stageas everywhere - I've got a silver dayz S1 with chrome rims, black spokes, lowered, full stainless ces system and little green lights under side mirrors and just down the road is a silver S2 rwd fmic and big turbo and a little bit further down the road is a white S2 with bodykit. Not to far down the coast is a yellow S2 with body kit. So the far north coast of nsw is stageaville.

Happy trails, see you on the road. pics coming soon .............................

leetom :D

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
