Show Us Your Non-Stagea

[Goddo]

I'm new around here... kinda.

Haven't quite got my Stagea yet, but here's my non-Stagea:

Fairly stock, still has the original redtop RB20

[JAV360]

1970 AMC Javelin, only comes out during summer.

And the misses R32

[Commsman]

My first car was an '73 AMC Hornet (& no, it was pretty old when I got it, lol). Looks like the same 'burnt orange' colour as yours.

I'm glad cars have come a long way since then. Mine got 20mpg & went/handled worse than anything from Kia or Daewoo these days. I'm sure your's is better tho...

[JAV360]

my first car was also a hornet, 71 model though.

Haha, yeah that's the one. Love the stripe. Mmm, those wheel arches & high ride height remind me of something....

[BensDR30]

You've seen them in my sig, but here they are again.

I've actually managed to do some work on the Z recently - the 300ZXT rear end is almost installed!

[StageIan]

Get an SP1-2 they are great bikes, firestorm runs out of puff too early on track.

Yeah I saw an SP1 track bike on Bike Sales 6K I think they were asking for. Definitely an option

My non-stageas. Stanzas (the yellow one's a rare coupe)

[Duncan]

love both of them I'm not that familiar with specs, are either of them irs? And is wikipedia right that your coupe is one of 120?

"In 1979, 120 2-door coupé models were assembled in Australia, apparently due to a mix-up with Nissan Australia's kit ordering system."

good to see people keeping it in the family.

[66yostagea]

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.

[66yostagea]

As I said but lost it, Looks like it was modeled on the Corsair or maybe BelAir? LOL

My first new car was a rare 64,Cortina, 4 door with a floor change Wood grain dash. full internal GT trim and bucket seats

Neither of them are IRS, the reason the 1600 stayed more popular for rallying (even though the Stanza won plenty of Southern Cross and World Rally events). Came out standard with L16 (1.6) and the Aus one had bigger brakes than the Jap one. Stanzas were homologated with a 2L motor, so both of these have L20 motors in them. The rally car's L20 is significantly tougher than the coupe (as are all the other bits on it).

Wikipedia is almost right - there were 150 coupes apparently. They were supposed to go to South Africa, but arrived in Melbourne and were assembled here, so despite being a messed up import, have Aus compliance plates. Nissan built one for George Fury with a Z18 Turbo in it. I met the guy that owned it a few years ago and he informed me that it had been written off by someone running into it.

Glad you like them! I must admit, since buying my M35, the factors of air con, injection and a turbo mean the coupe doesn't get driven as much as she should...

Noice!

I'll see your 31 and raise you mine, semi adm spec lol

[rb26stagea]

I have the Bimmer (but hopefully not for long!), and the wife&child have the Caldina...

Watch this space, though: I believe I have until the 6th June to convince her that I Need a Toyota 86...

[BoostedBarge]

Hey Pipster, many years ago I had a Silhouette R31 exactly like yours. Same colour scheme. Mine had an RB20DET with RX7 turbo and the JDM front struts. It wasn't tuned well, but went like hell with that turbo. Absolute great fun to drive.

Loving that VW Squareback posted earlier.

Anyway, here's my collection. First up, my GT40 replica that my Dad, Brother and I are restoring. It hasn't run in 10 years. We've had it since last June and have decided to strip it back to a bare chassis and rebuild from there.

How it looked when we bought it:

How it looks now:

Stag and Mini in the background while my mate Jim builds a computer model of the chassis:

Blog here if anyone's keen to see more: http://gt40project.blogspot.com

Next up, my misses' Mini Cooper S. It's a 2003 model with John Cooper Works kit. We've had it for a year and a half. Looks nice, goes nice, handles nice, but likes to self-destruct. I have a love-hate relationship with it. It needs more maintenance than the 260RS.

M35's are one of the newer era cars I have owned. My obsession with the nissan marque started with datsuns. In particular the B chassis series. [datto 1200's] A couple of pics of my B110 sedan, built up to the 1971 GX spec [it was my daily driver before I bought stagea]. and a couple of my KB110 circuit car..

Jez,

Our fathers have a similar taste in cars! Is that a XK120 or 140?

I grew up fixing my old mans English cars with him, and trust me, there was a lot of fixing!
