lol, why do all stagea owners have another car?

or is it that lots of car owners have a stagea as a second, practical car?

LOL, my Stagea is my one and only car. I constantly see cars that I would love to buy, but I can't see myself getting rid of the LOLvo, and I can't justify owning two cars.

my old Honda Civic EG:

a bit ricey:

no power mods other than catback exhaust, ghetto DIY intake (less than $100 incl K&N pod filter) and a light tune using VAFC...other mods were all handling stuff - coilovers, all the braces that i could get

what do i do if my non stagea, IS a stagea?? but then i do have a commodore......:sick::spank: its ok for skids.... when its running :down:

Mine too. Then have the 84Sky. The Slimey Sil has now gone.

my fun car

84 bluebird TRX, coilovers, s13 front brakes 910 disc rears, swaybars, cam, twin webers, exhaust

soon to go ca18 when i get my shed sorted 17's soon to be fitted

pics are with 16's

its just a loud low car that i bought as my first car some 10 years ago on my p's - both it and I survived...

Hmm actually there are quite a few more than that around.

There are 4 in WA, and I know of about 6 or so in the Eastern States.

It is rumoured that every Ford Dealer had one car for display.

Here are some from a recent show in the UK. This photo shows the shape better.

Here is a pic & vid of my non stagea (VTR1000). I just got it back from the repairer after a lady in a Honda Odyssey hit me from behind when I was making a right turn in a roundabout. She sent me flying 20 mtrs, needless to say I am still recovering after a number of broken bones. :domokun:

I have decided to sell it & use some of the funds towards the Stag, I will buy another one just for track work (NO CARS, NO POLES, NO GUTTERS)

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
