yes i remember him saying it was sold also???

^obviously don't read here enough

the sale fell through

to be honest choosing a stagea to be a drifter when you already have two cars seems like you're making hard work for yourself grant, but at the same time it's bloody cool in my eyes.

no one seemed to complain and say it was a dumb idea in this post..

from what i understand grant has some pretty decent power mods planned.

i don't really get why people need to give their 50c every time grant makes a post though? there's other threads with people putting 20x7 (offset not mentioned) chromies on their stagea and people just go on their merry way and answer the question!?

ahh well

[Nismo_God]

someone has to have said this but.....

50?

i read your post again and it does sound pretty silly, u think u are the only one who bought it to be a high performance car. How about spend less on visual/show parts and buy some engine mods. You mean u want yours to "look" like a high performance car. Ive spent about 4 times the price of my stagea again on performance mods and havent even touched the rims or any bodykits or stuff that doesnt make it faster, or perform better. RBNT and rb26stagea have done the same so i dont know how u can think your lightly modded rb25 is the only performance built stagea.

i agree with rb26stagea your opinions do come across as confrontational

i hope this doesnt offend im just stating my opinion

and i said track car i believe..as in drive on teh track and not a straight line

do i need to post my mod list?

300-350hp is plenty for my application which is my goal

The only thing not done is the turbo installed....

and i neither have put a body kit on it

but 9inch wide wheels to help it grip in the front better

But you guys are building it slightly different

your building it as a fast straight line car (from waht i can tell)

Im building a drift car....two different worlds

i dont need the power yall do.

and forrester stuff like i promised

this was in no way of an attack, or witty way to f**k with you guys

i was genuinely wondering about it

and unique

2 or 3 people in the stagea section spending that much cash on their stag, puts them in the same league as me, rare apparently

[unique1]

no worries Grant i must admit i havent been regulary visiting the stagea forums for a fair while and only knew bits and pieces (and heard u sold it at one stage). Ive been on these forums since the first couple of stagea owners and i think terminal is one of the longest members on here still with his car, the rest have sold up and moved on. I joined way back in october 04 and had the car for 2 weeks before i did the rb26 conversion and the snowball has gone from there. Ive had many usernames over the time due to the moderators in another section and some workshop issues but thats all in the past and they dont want to let me forget it lol.

jasevr4 i thought forums were about having opinions? sorry if i dont read this forum like a bible and know every single millimetre of detail

zo are you going to tell all the guys with chasers and other 4 doors that drift, and build them that they arent sports cars as well?

Its a Sport wagon

not a ford escort wagon

or a festiva

And i disagree with the travel distances

I have constently put 2-3,000 km a month on my cars

there are MANY 4 doors and wagons (forester anyone?)

that are built to be race cars

many

Do not mention the (f) word.

My Stag is a virtual stocker. The S13 is the highly modded drifter.

I read somewhere that Nissan built the Stagea to combat the inroads the turbo Legacy was making on sales in Japan.

Have you ever seen a race Legacy?

At what level Hugh?

Because I've seen a lot of Legacy's, WRX hatches, Foresters used as club rally cars and as club circuit cars, and on just the track only Stageas and Legnums too..

[rb26stagea]

Like I said: Always sparks some entaining discussion

[Tangles]

each to their own

horses for courses

different strokes for different folks

etc etc

keep at it Grant me boy!

and no, you cant groom me for online 'chat' sessions :laughing-smiley-014:

As a "touring wagon" with style, functionability and a bit of grunt. Remember I got rid of my Forester caus it was the worst vehicle I ever bought. I bought the Stag so we could be a Nissan SSS family. Stagea, Skyline and Silvia. We also have a Patrol.

I think the reasons Stageas are not seen much as rally cars is that they are too heavy and if bent cost a motza to repair.

Way too heavy, and too much of a rwd biased "awd" system. Would be much more suitable to a tarmac rally.
