M35 Stagea As A Daily Family Hauler

[SU8TLE]

legnum lol.

now dont be like that. stock for stock the Legnum VR4 has a lot more punch than the Stagea.

its ok to be Nissan loyal, but the Legnum VR4 is still a damn fast wagon. And if it wasnt for the mega expensive servicing and parts... id definitely be looking to slide into one. Although compared to a M35, the old VR4 is starting to look a bit dated.

ARX lol.

oh wait

yeh i know that but i think just for the price comparison of the two, you definitely get more out of a m35. i drove a legnum and wasnt impressed to be honest

yeah true. the one I had a spin of had the boost up'ed a few psi and larger FMIC, and on boost it drinks like a whale. but i think the AYC in the Legnum around some twisty's is where the Legnum really shines. EVO handling ftw.

But as a family car... the M35 Stagea is a better option. Thus, my interest. Im just also a big fan of the Legnum VR4, spent a bit of time over at OzVr4.

you'd be suprised at how the M35 handles with some coilovers and a set of sway bars.

honestly even i was suprised with just the BC's i installed.

i dunno if the heights properly set. i could lift the fron1cm more or so.

fronts are 12 from hard and rears are 15. feels ok, the rears arent loosing so much traction now

When I was looking for a replacement for my Mazda 3 I was looking at the Legnums too...the AYC was a big plus.

But the lack parts and servicing cost was too much to bear...

lol if your going off that the trend looks like it wouldve started as.

"a car is for a person that cant drive"

[zei20l]

ABS is bullshit, airbags are for safety, totally different IMO

ABS is also for people who cant drive. id get rid of it if i could. people should learn to threshold brake.......

[Sunkist]

abs fuse?

[zei20l]

i think that kills the attesa system too. also, it will have failover for a short time. i wouldnt want to have the ABS unit there but not functioning for too long.

[Sunkist]

fair enough.

[iamhe77]

Oh man, don't get Iain started on ABS.

You'd might as well start talking oil/fluids with me!

[zei20l]

so true!

anyway lets not go off topic on this guys thread

[Sunkist]

hence why i said fair enough lol

damn, i set mine on 16s fronts and rears

not that big of a difference. its only damper after all. plus its only bee just installed so the novelty affect is still there.
