New Stagea Owner

[Import Monster]

Hi Guys

I just picked up my Stagea last week and have to say I'm over the moon with it. Have always thought they were cool cars but you have to own one to really appreciate how cool they are I think

Mine is a black '99 RS4 Dayz edition. Just a tad over 80000kms on the clock and the condition of the interior supports the kms. I bought the car from a seller in Sydney, normally I would import one myself but it with the weak AUD it worked out line ball to buy this one locally (I did get an amazingly good price on it, even factoring in shipping from Sydney to Melbourne) and I really was in need of a daily as I sold my Forester some months ago.

Anyway, I've been reading through all the threads and absorbing as much info as possible and it's great to see such a tight knit community

Don't let my vendor status fool you, I'm really a nice guy and not here to try and sell you stuff, just here to say g'day and learn some more about my new car!

Which brings me to my next question - where is the stacker?! I can't find it

Please excuse the crappy pic, I'll take pics once she's had a good cleanin'

Cheers

Aaron

LOL - I've been sitting on Yahoo for the last week straight looking at stuff! And keep reminding myself that it's a daily and I don't need to do anything to it. But, as per usual, epic fail on that front Come on over and bring your Stag too

Thanks Tangles and Chook - it looks like my car is stacker free, but my best mate has a white car that has a stacker intact which he's not using as he has an aftermarket headunit in there, so I'll snaffle that and hope it works.

Really need to detail the car now. Also it has tiny tiny wheels with rubbish offsets (stock rims ftl!) which I need to replace - all in good time!

Cool another stag in Melbourne... the family is getting bigger

[AndyD]

Welcome to the family another stag in melbourne is always good, i think a stag cruise in melbourne is in order shortly id love to see other stags up close and have a chat to others and see who has done what to their car.

Welcome to the Stagea fold!

I've beem looking for months on IM for Stagea parts, and have found some nice little goodies here and there, but haven't actually bought anything yet. It's a shame the Oz dollar's value against the Yen (and everything, for that matter) has dropped so badly...

Yes much the same here had my stagea for just over a week and am loving every second in the car, by far the best car i have ever been in or driven

[fat-lad]

me and the wife have owned our stag just over 2 weeks now and love it, and we were the same, thought we would leave it standard and that went tits, up. ordered the pod and front mount lol, the stag bug has bitten,

[BKC34]

welcome mate, i've had mine very close to 6 months now (rego's up next week) and i absolutely love it! glad to hear your happy with it. In the 6 months of owning it, ive learnt a hell of a lot about them and turbo cars in general, all thru this helpful little discussion, kudos to everyone on here for making it a tight knit kind of family feel where everyone is jumping at the chance to help each other out. its fantastic

[fat-lad]

well said man, great forum and awesome people

[GTR91]

Hey Aaron

We chatted recently via email about the Stagea grill you linked me (Michael with the 260RS)

Great to see you've joined the Stagea community.

I can vouch he is a nice guy, not just because he owns a Stagea

Cheers.

I will be doing another melbourne cruise when my cast is off, Stay tuned...

[Import Monster]

What a great bunch of welcoming people

It sure does suck re the aussie dollar vs the yen, but on the upside, I'm watching stuff selling for half the price that it would have sold for 6 months ago quite often so bargains are definitely there for the taking if you're watching closely

It seems a recurring theme is that we need a Stagea meet up and cruise and I'd definitely be down for that. Would even be happy to throw on a BBQ at Import Monster HQ as it's a good place to meet and show our cars off, we have heaps of parking in a semi private factory complex so if anyone would be up for that, I'll fire up the BBQ and get some snags in then we can go for a cruise (or Vice Versa, cruise, then lunch)

Welcome to the club. I've had my '96 RSFV for just over 4-years/60000km now, and it's been the most useful car I've owned.

The perfect family car, a nice cruiser, and plenty fast enough for the most part.

I too planned on leaving it stock, (which I also intended to do with the DR30, and the Z - but they're both another story...) but then the transmission cooler topic came up, and then the R34 intercooler topic came up, then the JJR dump pipe topic came up. Is there a pattern forming?

But seriously, you will find it a lovely car to drive. And if you do feel like expensing some 'promotional' parts for the business, you'll certainly be able to wake it up into something much more than it's appearance would lead you to believe.
