How are you enjoying Stagea life Ben? What's the feedback been like from the front end conversion and paint job? Most importantly are you enjoying the car?

[camr33]

I may be biased, but why not a VQ35?

stag is great, most people seem to love the car , the sticking point has been the wing, i'm happy with it as it is .

not sold on VQ in NA form unless its a renault motorsport engine.

its currently in transit and should be home monday . After 11 months of planning and building , its all but finished, just need to do the gear shifter, mount the ecu and put the front bar back on.

Hey mechanicalstig, can you send me the pics in this thread? Its a great read and a whole bunch of the images are broken that I'd like to fix.

[mechanicalstig]

This car is really impressive. I did consider doing something similar minus the V8 but decided to the M35 Stagea route.

I'm enjoying the episodes so far

Top work mate.

Hi Mechanical Stig, loving the episodes so far.

[Leroy Peterson]

sticking to manual may have created some mechanical obstacles to overcome, but I reckon you've dodged a big bullet trying to mate up the electrical and ECU/TCU side of autos.

looking forward to seeing how the rest of the build goes.

thanks mate , would have been a fully manualised auto anyway so electrical wouldnt have been an issue , but converting a factory manual stagea to auto didnt really seem like a good idea.

[Leroy Peterson]

I thought about the manualised auto but $$$ vs practicality/fun.
