Sorry dude, no swapping - the fact it's a manual is the whole reason I snapped it up...

Already used just under a quarter tank of fuel in it. Dammit, it's soooo much nicer than my Corolla! Handles and rides better than my parents' 1999 Audi A4 1.8T (ride is way too harsh), and has equal ride, better handling and more performance (obviously, especially seeing as it's an auto 4cyl) than their 2003 Camry Sportivo...

You could say I'm happy with my decision and purchase... :blink:

that's awesome. i can't wait for my Manual. i couldn't be arsed getting a conversion so i'm just saving for my Autech 260RS.

I wanted to get a faster car for a bit more fun, and this seems a logical choice.

i reckon about this time next year i'll have it.

Well done Goldzilla, sweet-as. Good luck Terminal, saving for the 260RS..!

Im happy with my auto, got a Neo turbo ready to go on, along with some other goodies. Only looking for under 200 4wkw so it'll do me!

FYN33, What are you planning to buy when you get rid of the Stagea?

Yup. A non turboed 32 followed by a house.

Looks like the Stagea has been sold. Got a guy flying down from Cairns on Sunday to pick it up... :);) Didn't even chuck a skid in it . . :(

I'm 28, married, 1 year old son, no dogs. I had a subie wagon (Liberty) and bought the Stage as a perfect compromise. Wagon for space, 25det engine for fun, and power to tow the business trailer. (Note the shameless plug there!)

No knee reco's either! :(

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
