The Eagle Has Landed

[CL11QE]

Well just wanted to let all you guys know my Stagea has landed....still at the docks but I'm so excited i just had to start a topic on it!

A little bit of info about her:

1999 Series 2 RS-Four S

5 Speed Manual

Pearl White

Dual Sunroofs

Dayz Bodykit

A few other bits n pieces, but that's the general stuff....located in Hills area Sydney, so keen as for any other locals to do a cruise later

on in the month....ummmm yeah that's about it for now i guess!

[ITZTRU]

congrats man, i've been thinkin bout a stagea, post pics when u get the chance!

[M I K E]

congrats! are you able to pm me how much it has cost you as a close mate is looking at importing exactly what you have bought

[GoldZilla]

Nice one Alex - now the wait for compliancing to be completed begins... Let's hope they don't take too long, then we can set up a meet or cruise.

[RubyRS4]

Congratulations!

Take pics and let the mods begin when you get her all sorted and ready to go!

[CL11QE]

Thanks guys!

I have pics but only from the importer, id rather post my own once i get her, so dont worry i will ASAP!

Already ordered one of those rear strut brace from Jin Man, and trying to figure out what wheels im getting too.

Have to go see my mechanic and start talking about the money im going to have to spend on her....

Well from what i've been told, it should only be 4-5 down at the docks and then straight to compliance, the biggest thing to delay it at the docks is really

the steam cleaning....i've got a mate who imports cars and he has two cars of his own on the same ship as mine and is expecting receivership of those

early next week....time will tell.

okay well after a little bit of stuffing around, i finally got her towed home to my place last night, and my

god, what a beautiful car! such a nice ride and everything is fantastic. Though the car could do with a bit

of a buff and polish. But i am stoked can't wait to have rego done, a mate is doing it for me so i dont have

to deal with that "random" check n wait a month n stuff. Will post pics once i get a bit of time. Oh and for

anyone on here who is a bit switched on with electrics n things, wonder if they can help me out here?

I put a new battery in, as the one the car came with was totally dead. Now the stereo n headlights and

everything else works great, EXCEPT the car wont start. I can clutch start it no worries, but cant start with

the key. When i turn the key there is nothing, no noise or anything, i think my mate said not even any clicking

or noise from the solenoid for the starter motor? any ideas?

Rock on down and give us a butchers hook.

[CL11QE]

yeah Ian i might make an appearance, though wont be jumping on the dyno as she is basically stock standard.

But would be a good chance to see a few other nice cars n to show off my new pride and joy

might also have to organize a photo shoot with you once ive done what i need to do to her hehe

[wolverine]

another Hills area RS4S...nice

what are you planning on doing and who will be doing the work?

[CL11QE]

yeh kinda tossing up what to do with her....ive had the speed side of things with my last car,

and to be honest to get good times out of a car like this is gonna cost a bit....so im thinkin

i might airbag the thing n go down that path....

[CL11QE]

okay, so i got her starting, she has a sneaky little immobilizer in her! so i put her back in the garage last night after having a bit of a fiddle,

how's this for garage clearance?

Chuck it on the rollers anyways for a baseline read out, it'll also show you what the AFR's and boost is doing.

[CL11QE]

yeh i see your point....will have to get a service done cos she sometimes runs a little rough!
