1997 S1 Stagea Rs-fourv


Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Up for sale is my 1997 Series 1 Stagea RS-Four V. It has been my daily driver for nearly two years, and is dead stock, apart from a K&N Pod, and a Blitz Nur spec muffler.

This car has been unbelievably reliable from day one. Only hiccup I've had, was a bung AFM, which didn't even keep me off the road.

The car has done 110,000kms, which have been commuting to work everyday. It has been on a few long runs down to Lorne, and twice to Lakes Entrance and twice into NSW, cruising effortlessly with no dramas at all. The temp gauge has never gone above half. It also has been used as a wagon, also with no hassles.

The car has had its 100,000km service done with the timing belt, water pump, all drive belts and fresh coolant all changed. It has been serviced every 5,000kms with motul oil used every time. It has new tyres on it all round, with less than 5,00kms on them, with R33 GTR rims.

Interior is in very good condition. It has a full leather interior, with power driver and passenger seats. The drivers seat has a scuff on the leather and the steering wheel has marks on them, but other than that it is in very good condition. The dual electric sunroofs finish the car off. Also, the roof rails and the body mouldings have been colour coded to the rest of the vehicle, which in my opinion makes the car look better than a normal S1. A pioneer head unit with iPod ccable is also fitted in the car, with unknown speakers fitted.

This is going to kill me to sell it, as i absolutely love this car. But, i need more of a workhorse. I could use this as a workhorse, but i dont want to. My loss is your gain.

I'm looking for $12,500 with a RWC and rego till april this year, or $11,800 with no rwc.

can we have an idea on what fuel usage you get with this baby???

daily driving in peak hour i get 300-320. thats stop start twice a day everyday. not the best, but what do u expect with a heavy AWD wagon?

open road ive gotten 520ish.

fuel will usually last me 3-4 days. i think thats pretty good considering. and i do alot of driving per day.

hope that helps.

cheers

    • What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction. 
    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return
    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
