Will do,

can anyone tell me from the photos does it have the navi and all the bells?

Make sure you inspect it well. I've bought a few theft recovered vehicles and there could be significant stuff that you can't see. The crim could have driven it over kerbs, trashed the hell out of the motor or gearbox (they do that sort of s*#t to them). I'd be checking the underside and suspension. If you can start it that'd be good too (they will let you and sometimes help with a jump). Find the compliance plate too as you may have rego issues if it's gone.

From the looks of it it had an aftermarket stereo (face plate is not on), OEM didn't have removeable faceplate. It's got the screen but that doesn't neccesarily mean it'll work, if the DVD Rom was removed when they fitted the stereo it won't work at all.

Hopefully that wont be happening for a long while.. i've wanted a stagea for so long now!

Hope it has been worth the wait, they are a great car to drive that's for sure. I can't believe I was considering blowing masses of money on a new Holden Commodore Sportswagon.

I'm also glad I seen the Stagea before I went and brought a VZ second-hander too, I looked at a few but they no where near as good as a Stagea.

Hopefully we will catch up with you at the meet next month :(

I'm already shopping for new parts on Yahoo :blink:

will see how it goes, i need to sell the hilux before i think i can get this car registered/insured! i cant wait to take this on my trips to the snow!!

The Snow mode works a treat on the snow.

Yes, all the AWD ones do.

I used it getting into Hotham (which is at 1750m) in the middle of a blizzard after rain. so the road was icy and very slippery. But this mode made it easy as you don't get the boost coming on so quickly so it avoids all the excess torque as you keep the car going.

Cheers

Andy

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
