Well its been about 18months I have been without a car... Having sacraficed my beloved R32 to start my business. Well its all been worth it, because today I bought my first "Business Vehicle" a Series 1 Stagea RS4. Something I have been dreaming of for 18 months!

Anyway here are some Pics. She is pretty Stock except for cat back exhaust and Tein Coilovers - which are suprisingly a very comfy ride, no where near the harsh set I had on my Skyline.

Cheers,

Ben.

I drove that car on the Thursday, went back to look at one with a sunroof on the Monday and said I'll take the one from last Thursday. That's when Hiro-san told me he had sold it. damn, damn, damn. It was a good ride in that car on the Teins and a nice sound out of that pipe. Well done. I ended up buying the S1 with the sunroof and cast Nissan mags that look like they came of a maxima or somesuch. I am very bloody happy with it.

Sydney's Stagea network is growing very quickly!

Who's gonna organise a meet-up, I did the last one (which feels like it was aaaaaaaages ago)?

mr manfringinsen:

Thats crazy! he did say he had someone interested in it, and i thought it was the old salesman trick!

I did see the sunroof one there too, looked sweet, but i couldnt afford the extra $$ for the roof. but im very happy with mine

GoldZilla:

If there is a Sydney Stagea meet, im there for sure! I better make mine go a little faster tho!

Don't worry, Ben - apart from the manual conversion and an exhaust, mine is still stock anyway...

Yep, was done by the previous owner - I snapped up this car because I'd started reading about how much of a hassle it would be, especially with obtaining parts for the interior...

The last (and only) cruise, we went up to Soldier's Beach @ Norah Head, which is on the Central Coast. I just decided to make the meet-up spot there because there were some people coming from the Newcastle/Hunter region and a few of us from Sydney, and that was kinda meeting in the middle.

Like I said, someone else can organise this one!

I thought it was a salesmans trick as well. I've just heard that Japan is legally entitled to turn back the odometer 100000kms on cars for export. Makes sense as my car feels like a car with 170000kms instead of one with 70000kms. I haven't researched this to find out if it's true so I am hoping I'm not starting a vicious rumour which will blow this thread out to 80 pages.

I think that belongs in it's own thread in the general section if it wants to be discussed
