Silhouette31 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 another new thread for a new arrival to the country. After 4 months of waiting I finally saw and drove my new 99 RS stagea tonight. And omg it's so awesome lol. I work in the new car industry, holden and mazda, and compared to anything new by them, this feels so much better to drive! its so smoothe and comfortable. Mind you I'm coming from a background of owning R31s, but yeah. I'll get pics up asap. It's only standard, complete with moulded mudflaps, but it's mint, bar some rust under the mirrors on the doors, and a couple of bumper scrapes. just thought i'd share my excitement and remind you all how nice stag's are. ehehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/230424-woooooo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silhouette31 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) first issue. i cant go over half throttle without it jurking around, like its starving for fuel my importer reckons the engine bay was washed out this morning and its playing up, i hope its just water in coilpacks or something... but anything under half throttle its awesome and smoothe oh and it's gone through bout 1/8th tank of fuel in 35km's... seems a bit steep since ive been babying the hell outta it.

GoldZilla Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yep, congratulations and welcome aboard! I think my only issue with my car is the higher fuel consumption, but then again it could be a lot worse!
