cheers guys. CD stacker confirmed but not working . I assumed I didn't have one because when I hit the cd button nothing happened. Appears no power going to unit, when I press eject nothing happens. Checked all fuses, all good. Once again this forums rocks, would have been lost without the fuse box translation. Any Ideas ? Car is booked in for a once over at Tunehouse next weekend and I'll ask them the question. I'll assume a busted wire or fuse within the unit itself, not going to spend money getting it fixed though. To be honest I'm a complete noob, so my opinion on the HKS coilovers would not be worth much but I'll let you know what I find out. I have also discovered a small toggle switch down low right hand side drivers area, no idea what it does.... another question for next Saturday.

Car is now parked at my home, Woohoo!! Transit time was quick , in Aus in less then a month. Compliance took longer then expected , between the freight company losing parts and Canberra taking it's sweet time, car was ready late last week. I was using a compliance workshop in Newcastle so couldn't get up there till yesterday. The first time I have truly enjoyed the drive home from Newcastle! Yesterday was the first day I saw it, wasn't disappointed. Workshop did a fantastic job, no short cuts and top notch service( even lent me a car to run around and sort rego) . Haven't added up all the costs but it is was very close to Ben's estimate of 15k landed and complied. This puts it at the upper end of the price scale but I'm glad I stretched that far, the car is very high standard, the Volks look great, HKS coilovers are tight and the Fujitsubo exhaust has a sweet note. The only sad bit is my cargo liner went missing in transit and I haven't seen another like it. time to hit yahoo auctions to search for another. Now to sort: alarm/immobiliser ( very nervous about it till this happens - woke up twice last night with dreams of it being stolen ) head unit - have a friend coming back from the states soon, will probably look to source from there. ( even though I mostly listen to ABC News radio - showing my age ) First service ( prob use Tunehouse in Marrickville ). Locking wheel nuts , need to investigate and read about how useful/pain in the arse they are. Investigate behind wing mirrors for rust ( love the info on this forum ) Big thank you to Ben, very happy j-spec customer. Waiting for the first volvo comment, a work mate already labelled it a tissue box with wheels ( I'll hit him later ) and I suppose I'll go for drive, a long, long drive . (money shot because I can't help myself )

spotted Silver C34 s2 on Harbour Bridge City bound about 9 this morning.

spotted a silver 250t RS at the Crescent, Annandale. First Stagea I've seen weeks... not to worry get to see mine everyday soon

Great drive, road has seen better days and make sure you fill up before starting got caught out with 95 only half way along. .

Would have been there if I had taken delivery of my car this week but parts have been delayed, looking at another week or two . I'm thinking of coming along to Texikhana.

Sure can , here's the auction result. Remember this only the auction price, there is FOB/Freight ...etc etc to be added. I'll update once it is in country to give people an idea of costs. For a clean example, mostly free of rust(try and find one without !!), under 100k, the auction pricing seams to be around 500-600 but as always with auctions, on the day anything can happen. If you look around the car yards, this will appear to be an expensive price, however my feeling was the quality of the cars was just not there. And then there is ever present worry about the true K's. Some more photos to give you an idea of the quality Love the wheels .. Think I will be scared to sit in it , I can be a bit rough with my toys Has anyone sat in the back not to worry my boys will make short work of it....

cheers guys, very happy that it all also has the dayz body kit. I'm in NSW.

Hi All, After several years of thinking it would be nice to have a Stagea parked outside my house I have taken the plunge. My Alfa 156 was dying a slow painful death (everything they say about them is true!), so I set to work on the Minster of Finance and got approval to start looking. After kicking many tyres around Sydney, I decided to import from Japan to improve my options. By this time I knew I wanted an RS four S.... I contracted J-spec at the beginning of Feb and after a month of rejecting options and missing the same yellow one twice and this came up yesterday .... As it was my birthday yesterday, I had a good feeling and lucky me I won! Minor Mods, including HKS coilovers, TE37's and Fujitsubo exhaust. Now the really hard part....... waiting.... I never was very patient.... It's going to be a very hard two - three months ( if anybody says i could be waiting longer then three months, please don't, I 'll cry ... ) Ben at J-Spec has been fantastic, he has been patient with all my silly questions and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for listening, just wanted to share with some people who would understand how excited I am. Cheers Bodella (New to forums so if this post needs to be moved deleted etc please do so .... )

Hi All, I've been lurking around for a few weeks gathering info about Stagea's. In the market for a RS four S and after kicking many tires around Sydney, I decided to work with J-Spec to import one. Lot's of good info here on the forum, looking forward to getting involved with all that you have going on. Cheers Bodella
