2000 Stagea Rs4S Owner

[Ma-Jik]

Hi All,

I thought I would introduce myself, the names Nick and I've recently purchased a White Stagea Series 2 RS4S. Will post pics soon!

I purchased this car late last year off Indy as IS Motor Racing, I've known Indy for a long time as he helped me build and tune my old Evo 8MR.

When I picked up the Stagea it was close to stock bar a few small mods r34 GTT brakes and wheels, Cusco coilovers, HKS catback and rear camber arms (unknown brand). I couldn't just leave it like this so I started modding straight away.

So far I have changed the front and rear sways + links to whiteline items and Indicators to Nismo smoked type.

I have also purchased a few other bits n' bobs I'm currently fitting or modifying:

Factory electric Leather seats which I'm in the process of wiring in - no loom on the RS4S for this unfortunately (Fairly easy job to fix anyway) Will take photos of the process and post DIY.
HDI FMIC kit - need to have an exhaust shop make up another pipe so I don't have to cut under the battery tray. - Any recommendations where to get this done in Sydney?

3" dump pipe

3" cat - spare off my old evo, need to get an exhaust shop cut and re-weld the flanges

DAYZ front bumper - I have cut out the numberplate mount and the vertical running supports to give it a wide mouth look and I am now in the process of cleaning up the holes left by these by filling with fibreglass, I have been taking photos of the process and will provide DIY once finished.

Also since buying the Stagea I have cleaned up the yellowing headlights, and given it a good detail - which was subsequently ruined the next day when it rained "typical".

After all this is done the next job is removing that pesky HICAS using a Driftworks HICAS removal kit and get some wheels without the weak offset and width of the GTT wheels. For a wagon especially after coming from a Evo I'm quite surprised how well it handles.

Sounds awesome, how good is it to have a useable boot and somewhere to comfortably sleep in a car should the need arise. Welcome to SAU and also to the wonderful world of wagons.
