Well... Finally Bought A Stagea!

[huddy]

hey guys

firstly must say - Thanks for all the info and helping out with questions that i had, i can now say i'm officially a stagea owner!

Bought a 99 RS4 - black - stock with set of rims / dvd player. (its MattD's car off of here)

drove it back to SA from Vic yesterday and didnt miss a beat, very comfortable ride.

i have a couple of questions though...

1 - the cargo barrier - how do i set it up, i have the book cover (retractable thing) do i need to remove this first? i tried today but couldnt figure it out, it just seemed too short.

2 - xenon bulbs - i have them, but how do i re-fit them to the car?

i will try get pics up asap, just busy atm with getting it SA rego'd etc.

thanks

-Matt

Nice work Matt!

Can't help you with either of your questions as I don't have that gear but I am sure someone will chime in soon and help you out.

Cheers

The cargo barrier fits into a bit at the end of the handles that run along the roof behind the back seat and you need the boot cover in ther to tie it to, with the velcro. At least that is how mine fits in.

Xenons, no idea sorry.

The cargo net can also be hooked to the holes "revealed" when you remove the little tie-down hooks on the ledge just below the windows, and just in front of the handles that fold the seats down - you'll find that the pole for the cargo net extends to meet the holes on each side of the luggage area.

Awesome work, you wont be dissapointed, now to start the modding

I spent AGES wondering how the rear hooks on the ceiling worked!! Thanks for that - will give it a shot when I get the chance just so I know how it goes...

I worked out the normal installation of the cargo net ok (just behind the rear seats - connecting to the rear struts) but always wondered why there is a second set of hooks on the ceiling a bit further back - well now I know

so many little tricks with the stagea...its like a swiss army knife lol!

oh and congrats on the purchase Matt!! I look forward to checking it out on sunday at the photoshoot - assuming you'll be there (also hoping you bring the stag instead of or as well as the ceffy).

ok so, got some pics...

steve/brendon, sorry didnt make it tonight... had issues with the cefiro not starting today (pushing it on my street at 7am trying to get it started, but no luck...) so no SCS for me. decided to stay home and fix it.

enjoy the pics... it does look nicer in real life though

no worries. was 2 stageas there (including mine). The other one belonged to stagen(sp?) from this forum. He happened to pull up next to me at the lights today near TTP so I told him about the photoshoot and he ended up coming along

no other stags turned up - bit disappointing but still cool to see all the 'lines "lined" up... check the SA section for pics - should look good. I'll upload some here when I get time...

nearly didn't make it there myself - was quite busy but ended up rushing home to vacuum and wash the car before taking off down to west beach. Most people didn't stay that long - just long enough to get some good "official" photos and then go home

[-FUZZY-]

urgghhhh .... wasn't me. Unless someone took my stagea for a road trip to SA ... which would explain where my petrol went!!!

Great looking car ... love them in black thats for sure!!!

[Tangles]

Nah I was never going to the photoshoot - Im still recovering from the patellectomy to my right knee. Cant drive that far. Only driven twice, for 5mins 2 weeks ago just to get outa the house, and 15mins on Saturday morning to get the car service products I needed, for tomorrows turbo upgrade, etc.

Hope it went well there Steve!

Huddy nice Stagea, black is mean thats for sure. I reckon some 18inch 'dark smoke' grey mags would look real-nice Hope you are enjoying the Stagea.

[AlexCim]

hmmmm, sell me that S2 DAYZ kit....

[wagon]

Looks sweet as, Black or blue series 2's are awesome.

Congrats on the purchase. Hope to see it in person.

[huddy]

thanks guys

towbar is first on the priority list, then i'd really like a set of 34 GTR rims, or somd 18x9 Volk GT-C's with nice dish!

[AlexCim]

Get a Dolphin Aeroform body kit.

Motivation Imports sell copies for ~$1200 a full kit. The car ends up looking as such.

If you want to buy that kit, ill give you $400 for your DAYZ front bar and $300 for the pair of sideskirts, plus $100 delivery to melbourne.

Let me know if you are keen mate.

[huddy]

thanks for the interest, but no thanks, dont want a big kit, want it subtle and neat.
