There could be BIG issues with this car to get it complied

S1 were never manual

May all depend on how well the conversion is done, in regards to the firewall, gearbox tunnel hole for gear stick and handbrake mount.

Super cheap price but.

My S1 was Y450,000,and it has no front Stagea badge. Thats why she thinks she is a Volvo, or an Audi RS4.

Mine was grade 4, and in nearly Excellent condition. Original colour,VGC>

With the normal price drops that go on as time goes by and more S2 with lots of goodies come on the market, S1s will probably be unsellable except for spares.

Personally I have never liked resprays,they can cover a multitude of sins.

hey alex as said above i think the initial exclusiveness of the stageas when we purchased ours over 18 months ago and the lack of cars to choose from made the caryards be able to say a purchase price they want as if u dont like it u simply dont get one.

series 2's are now making series 1's cheap as hell which isnt good considering they are pretty much the same except the neo engine and a few cosmetic changes.

that black one with the "photos available after purchase" is pretty rude in my opinion and that just shows there is things they are trying to hide in the couple of pics supplied so be wary.

series 1 front ends look 100 times better but and i reckon more series 2 owners will want the series 1 grille and thats about all thats better on the s1's.

does anyone know how many autech stageas were made by any chance? i read 100 but there are about 10 or more in oz ive heard and read about i doubt its only 100 and more like 500 or more?? im sure jake32 would know?

    • A Pillar forward?   The part above I was just looking at was the reo bar, I'd replace it, UNLESS the panel beater is GOOD. From your early photos, it did look like the chassis might be tweaked, or at the very least there was tweaks in radiator support. I'd personally do a new / second hand unmolested reo bar, and drill it, only so I know underneath the pretty painted front bar, there's not a mess of other metal that's been hit and smacked.
    • Yes no yes. Pineapple rings do do a certain amount of subframe "locking up", in that they do add some resistance to lateral movements. But the primary reason they exist is to alter the driveline angle. Depending on how you install them you can either increase or decrease rear traction __ a little bit __ by changing the angle of the lower control arms relative to the car/pinion angle. The thing is, given what they are, how and where they are installed, their lack of engagement with anything in particular, there's a limit to how much benefit they can offer. The GKTech collars put metal into the space in the stock format bushes, thereby limiting how much give they have. The rubber is still there to take up some force, albeit perhaps preloaded a little by having some extra metal jammed up into it, but the increase in stiffness comes from making it so that the stock format bush can't deflect that large bit of rubber over into the space adjacent to it, in any direction. Top AND bottom. Which the pineapples certainly do not do. As I said in my other thread - I'm convinced.
