Many moons ago, when the world was young and frivolous, men were men, women were grateful and sheep were nervous, someone on these forums posted some scans of a HPI magazine article that was done on the Stagea when it was first being considered for compliance. I have lost all but 1 of the pics but I am really hoping someone still has them and can repost them for me.

I would really like to find out what issue the article was in and I would even be interested in buying a copy if anyone has one they will part with.

The main reason for this flurry of interest is because I have just found out that the car in the artcile is the one I am now a proud owner of!

In breathless anticipation of an answer....

Thanks

Thats the one!!

No wonder I didn't find it on a topic search - its a HPI magazine, not a bl00dy zoom - it says so on the bottom of the page!

Now, if any one has a copy of that issue they are willing to part with, PUHLEEEEEEASE let me know either here or on PM.

If I got a dollar for everyone thats has said "yes I have a copy, no I don't want to sell it" I would be able to give you $100 and have enough left over for a bottle of jacks and a feed of KFC.... :P

I have even tried to buy a back issue from HPI but they don't have any left

:P

I have a crapload of street machine mags from 1994 to present if anyone wants to work out a deal for swapsies

Have you tried ordering a back issue? Slim chance they will have any but worth a shot...

Sorry! Should have read your post more carefully!!!

Post up a WTB with a price, never know your luck, probably better off looking outside the Stagea area of the site too (if you haven't already) as Stagea owners would more likely want to hang onto an issue that had a Stagea feature in it? That is what I would do anyway. You are playing to the wrong crowd here!

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
