Details:

1997 S1 Stagea

Dual sunroofs

17" R33 GTR wheels (gutterbashed to the shithouse lol)

Alpine 3 Stack in dash CD player, TV/DVD thing that doesnt work atm

In the future, i plan to do the following:

Full exhaust

get it lowered

SAFCII or AFC neo and tune

SITC if i can find one

[JVP]

[yokotas13]

i like it

just like mine but a different color!

[Mr_RS4]

looks good. and score on the series 2 tail lights. just one of the many things on my yahoo auctions hunting list . as well as a full leather interior. just looks so much better than the cloth imo.

mmmmmm nice rack.

looks hot mate. good deal.

[AlexCim]

Nice, I love the red but its a pity it fades so bad with time. Thats with any red though.

What'd set you back locally?

[FLYSLY]

Loks Nice Jarryd.

Damn you, you also got S2 tail lights.

Now we need to organise a Melb Stagea Cruise.

PS. I hate you Jarryd lol I was meant to be the only melb member with red

[Stinky Rooster]

I also notice you have the colour coded bump strips S2 style.

Noice!

[Appealing]

Yeah Nice car mate, looks like another Prime edition. Gotta luv that wood and leather. Looks good in red. I amazed that there aren't more red ones.

yeh, ill try keep the polishing etc up so it doesnt fade...

it cost me $16,300 with a years reg and rwc. also has all the import papers and he gave me 6 wheels (4x stockies and 2x work wheels) everything he had, he gave me for nothing.

Loks Nice Jarryd.

hee.. no offence but are you asian ? the numbers 888 on the plates mean " I am stinking rich "

[JVP]

maybe we should start our own club?

nOObies of the world unite!

[Tangles]

Nice mate, good work.

Not bad a price, interesting actually, I scored my S1 dayz 2yrs ago for $17800 (didnt get extra wheels, lol)

that was with catback exhaust, pod, apexi boost guage and solenoid adjusted to 10psi

Good pickup there in my opinion.

funny you should mention polishing my observant wife noticed just recently on the net somewhere it's not advisable to polish cars with sfhc, be interesting to see if anyone can shed any light on that.

[JVP]

sfhc?

[Stinky Rooster]

Nah, thats a bit of a crock, you can polish SFHC (Super Fine Hard Coat - its a clear coat paint treatment put on in the factory. If you Stagea has it SFHC will be on your back window at the bottom) What you need to do though, is stick to pure wax type polishes and avoid the buggery out of anything even mildy abrasive. The abrasive cuts into the clear and leaves really nasty swirl marks in it that you will never get out. Mind you, I have never actually polished mine and the water still beads every time it gets wet so I don't see much point.
