VERY nice!!!

What is performance like on stock stagea, and whats the going rate?

Also, as if you don't do the R34 GTR style nose conversion! Looks wild.

Maybe I should get a stagea, planning on having kids in a couple years... :)

Cool, nice buy MrBenson - is this car staying in NSW?

I'm in the process of organising a cruise for early April for the Sydney and Newcastle/Hunter region owners and enthusiasts - will you be keen to join us?

Very nice Ride. Looks identical to mine, colour, body kit, wheels etc. - except you have the leather and woodgrain option, so its an RS4V.

I am sure that you will enjoy it as much as I am.

Better get used to people doing double-takes as they go past! :D

yep i'm the roger from melbourne who came to the meet at bells park.

the wife and i flew up to sydney on friday inspected the car and the papers etc,

test drove the car all this took most of the day,

and we were very impressed with it and we needed a car to get back to melbourne so we bought it !

paid $24000.00 with 31000klm's on it.

so it had a good test on the way home, on sunday after visiting relatives.

anyway the worst things about it are minor stone chips and scratches (well it's a used vehicle)

fuel economy.... but thats a smaal price to pay for the enjoyment of the drive.

and japanese tv and navigation (is that possible to get it working here.

the tv screen has a touch screen system in it to play cd's and operat the climate control of wich both work fine.

we have now transfered it to melbourne rego, put the baby seat in,

and we just have to get insurance.

thanks to all that gave me advice and info on the stagea. :laugh:

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
