Transmissions are, gearboxes aren't.

U could b rite?

i wood tend to think that transmissions would include diff's and tramsfer cayses

anyway they r only a trated up Magna

Oh well, may as well add my asshole (I mean opinion) to the thread.

I looked seriously at one of these, I mean I could buy one for half the cost of my stag. The again, you can buy most Mitsubishi's at half the price of a decent car. Just 'cos it has a similar spec doesn't mean it's the same. I would never dare to compare the mitsubishi build quality with that of Nissan. Besides, that the AYC is REALLY expensive when it goes wrong. And I have never liked the idea of a transverse engined 4WD. It kinda makes it seem like an afterthought IMO. As for the front end...... some people reckon it looks shark like. I reckon it looks like a pussy car. I know the Stagea is heavier, but when I saw poor robs front end ripped off the green machine, without the rest of the car being damaged, well that did it for me...... I don't think anything but the stag woudl have survived that, nor Rob. The fact that the shell has a built-in roll cage, and the ATESSA is freakin awsome. I cant get mine to even spin a wheel in the wet, not even on a corner, (wearing 245 x 18's). When we first got it I was hesitant to let my wife drive it as it had 280hp..... now I woudln't let her drive anything else. I know that she is in one of the safest cars made. (Hmmmm is it starting to sound like a Volvo ad)!! As for the sound of the Turbo spool... I still find myself looking in the mirror thinking I have a cop up my arse!! LOL It sounds like a siren. I have owned 3 Mitsi's and in a word they are good cheap cars, but they loose their value fast. The Legnum's aren't in the Stagea's league.

Anyway who wants to own bloody car that sounds like a vegetable!! :laughing-smiley-014:

Oh.......well............a vegetarian?

Seriously, I saw a lot of these wagons in NZ on a not so recent recent trip before I discovered "NISSAN" & (never having seen them before), I thought they were a really cool wagon, had potential even, compared to the others getting around starting with F & C & T. Just my 2 bobs worth. :D

This is a "What you love about your Stagea" thread NOT a "lets argue like little children about which is better, Stageas or Legnums?" thread.

You've had your fun, and now it stops please, dont make me bring out the hairy mod stick.

Keep posts ON TOPIC!

lol!

What I love about my Stagea.

a) it is a crapload better looking than a mitsu Legnum

b) it handles better than a WRX wagon

c)It absorbs wrx's with my whole family on board and no one got hurt

i heard stagea's strangle kittens.

Thats funny........... :laughing-smiley-014:

what also got me about mine when I first got it was the centre console, how it opens up from both the passenger and drivwers side. Took a little while to figure out how to remove the lid completely but yeah.................thought it was a cool idea.

Mine's got the s2 console in it, so mine is like that too - it's tops! Confuses quite a few people, but it's so handy at the same time - makes it easier to see inside of.

    • 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
