New To The Stagea

[Tangles]

you mean 9.5k dont you. lol.

No, I mean $95,000

[SLO-N-STEDY]

Hmmm, wonder how much transport would be....... they dont like free moving parts in the car when in transit.

ahh ok ive got those pics saved, so I can see what it looks like.

witht the link to your mod list, the bits that need repairing, whats been done??? anything else changed??

oh yeah tangles, i knew you meant $95k. is that cause its not for sale or is that legit???

[Tangles]

lol

can be for sale, hehehehe, in return tho Id like to be out of my house debt!

hence the 95k comment

I paid just under $400 by memory to ship the stagea from Brisbane to Adelaide, via Adtrans

ha ha good point. lol.

$400 thats awesome. I got done 1000 even to get mini from QLD to Perth.

Yeah the heater core blew just after I bought it and I have a replacement to go in, but it is a hell of a job, so waiting till I can go to brisbane for a couple of weeks and use a mates workshop to get it done properly.

And the handbrake assembly just needs to be rewelded to the floorpan.

Other then that, all she really needs is a bloody good power tune really. I had it down tuned for economy just before I moved from Brisbane to rocky to try to save on fuel.

So yeah I am preety happy with the down tune, it still goes like a rocket, but would be MUCH better off with a really good power tune, I was thinking of getting a fuel pressure regulator to squeeze what I can out of the stock injectors and aim for the 220awkw mark, which is what is was about on when i down tuned it.

[SLO-N-STEDY]

ahhh fair enough. im just thinking cause if i brought it over, everything has to work. otherwise it wont pass the pits. so heaters and all that must be working. thats only issues id have.

[Ska]

And because she has a Power-FC in it I was going to take her to Matty Spry, of P.I.T.S. on the gold coast, as he is the "Power-FC" whispherer, I know heaps of people who have taken their cars to him and he always gets the best result, and has been doing it for years and years, and knows his power-fc's inside and out, plus many other aftermarket ecu's.

Problem is that the tune would cost ~$1000 for me, ($300 for petrol return trip from rocky to GC, ~$700 for the tune) But I thought why do that until I have a z32 afm, which are ~$250, and then why not wait till I get bigger injectors, ~$300, and blah blah blah, and when you have a family and a tight budget, those things arent exactly going to happen anytime soon.

So just been living with it and tossing up wether to sell it or keep it for the long run. Well it looks like the long run means that those basic mods are a fair way away, as my family and I really want to buy a home, which means we spend no money on the car until we get one, and then we might. But atm the bank loan repayments are the biggest killer to our budget, so sell the stagea, and buy a home is what I will be trying to do in the next 6-12mths.

Obviously I am not going to be trying very hard to sell her because I really do love her, but I love my family more

Oh I'd have the core fixed and the handbrake fixed before I sell it for sure!!! If I had a buyer right now give me a deposit, I would take 2 weeks off right now and go down to brissie and get it all fixed, simple

[Ska]

That reminds me I just updated my modlist with clear front and side indicators

ha ha hint hint nudge nudge.

well you've given me lots to think about. ill have a sit down. do a budget and see what i can come up with. what sort of deposit would you need to get all that done?? im just thinking there wouldnt be much point getting a tune done if it didnt get the z32 AFM and larger injectors. so could that be done same time???

i know what you mean with loans and the like. family is always first. numero uno.

[Cheeky_Nympho]

well F@#$ me. i leave my thread all nice on friday arvo and by sunday its turned to shit lol.

well that through my plans to the dog house didnt they. cheers nympho. ha ha. nah all good. just means i gave way for all the boys to get another girl on the forums, for them on cruises. i know she has a boyfriend, but thats minor details. lol

well thats gunna make thing a bit different. hmmm, do i head for the 32GTR or stick with trying to find another stagea???? any suggestions. that yellow one is nice, but the silver series 1 has sun roofs and leather interior. leather doesnt stain,,,(should have thought of that nympho) lol. oh yeah, the black ones suspension is stocko.

apparently they have a red one for sale, all kitted up with rims also. also has sun roofs i think. so maybe.

otherwise i might get them to slap on some rims and lower the series 1 silver one, and ill take that.

decision decisions.

formula cars in wangarra always has stageas there in good nick and for a good price if ur still after a stagea

[SLO-N-STEDY]

thanks elle smith. lol. umm yeah ill still be looking around. maybe going as far as rockhampton in the sunshine state to get one.

anyone know who has the quickest stagea in WA???? my guess is brad but his aint running. any others???

he he just rang formula cars. they've had one come in, and they trade it. he he

[Cheeky_Nympho]

So what exactly did she get and how much was the final price, if you dont mind me asking ?

they were selling it for $21 990 and i got it down to 18k

Big fan of SKA's car hey.

AMS (chris fro Advanced Motor Sports) is who i got my kit off. He deals with Monkey warehouse and im very happy with both the price and quality of my kit. Paint will have to wait seeing as im paying for Jays stagea in the next couple of days, but oh well.

I got a full Nuismo style kit from AMS. Fit brilliantly, no qualms.

[Tangles]

lol - 2 stageas?

nice

seems to be my best option. a premodded stagea. manual. reliable power. but yes a kit will follow once im done. not sure whether id get a motor built first.

i was gunna say, you keeping your old stagea too. very well done indeed.

Well I'd prolly be after a 10% deposit, ~$2500, that would be more than enough to cover the cost of repairs.

About the z32 and injectors, you are probably better off waiting till you get it and then buy them and have it all tuned somewhere where you trust over there? Just I dont mind doing it, but am very warefull that you would be paying for all the parts and the tune, and if it does not get the outcomes you were expecting then there might be a slight cause of friction between us, where you could claim that you didnt get what you paid for and want you money back and I would be like, hey I just did what you asked, and it would all turn into a really bad home & away type plot-line

I am just biased and would really love to see what Matty Spry could get out of it as I have never seen someone who live, breathes and eats tuning hipo cars all day 5 days a week

Also to drive it as is is pretty dissapointing, well to me it is, mainly because it used to have bucketloads more power than what it has now, because of the down tune, which is why I would rather wait until I get it all tuned up back to the power it had, then it really becomes impressive. That said, even with the down tune I still own nearly anything off the mark

But all in all, I know I am probably shooting myself in the foot here, but darrin just pointed out that you could import your own 260RS for ~$30k mark, but you would have to pay for it and then wait for it to arrive............. could be as little as 6 weeks, or as long as 6 mths, it all depends on a lot of factors.

But I would be more than happy to get it inspected by a RACQ station here and give you the full written report on the vehicle, in the condition it is currently in. Although those reports are not standardised and really rely on the experiance and point of view of the mechanic doing the report.....

Anyway enough of me trying to do the hard sell, have a look around and see what is there locally, but also keep in mind Gary1 (the previous owner of mine here on SAu) spent ~$49k to get mine to where it is now, and it was for sale for $30k just over a year ago and I bought it for $25k then.

I am basing my price on how much I owe the bank, or $25k, whichever is greater, and the bank loan is the greater atm.

So take your time, and get as much information as you need before purchasing anything If you still like the idea of buying mine we can tak ethis to PM's to disscuss anything further, ok?

no reason why you couldnt do it at 21yrs old, but the dollars factor does come into it a fair bit.
