Hey Guys,

I am buying a Stagea in the next 3 or so monthes. Yay Im so excited. Im importing it and most likely it will be an auto. So my first question is, How much will it cost me to get the car converted to a manual? And how much performance etc. will I gain from it?

Secondly, the MASA Bodykit, do they make a front bumper for the S1 Stegea? How mcuh would I be looking at to get this bodykit imported? Is there any bodykits avalible for the Stag here in Australia?

Thirdly, the engine in the Stag is the same as a 33gtst? What sought of mods have u guys done to your? What results do you have? What soughta 1/4 Miles are you running?

Cheers,

Chris

First job, learn how to spell Stagea. You can't own one if you can't spell one.

Second job, learn how to use the search button. It is your best friend, you can find answers to almost all of your questions with a quick search.

There are is thread with a link to the Masa web site that you will find if you do a search.

There are great threads on Stagea mods, both engine and suspension, with some dyno sheets. You will find them easily if you do a search.

The 1/4 mile ET's and TS's are to be found with a quick search.

Welcome to the ranks of Stagea owners :D

PS; did I mention that you shoud do a search?

yup good stuff on the Stagea choice - and as SK said - the search button is your friend! :D All your question are answered in these forums already! All except maybe one - which is a current price of the Masa front end....

I got a quote through from Ken at JapanParts.com for the front end of the kit complete (front bar, bonnet, fenders, headlights, indicators, all mounting components) of 273,000 yen (AU$3500) + shipping... and if you are creative you could organise free shipping... PM me if you're NOT creative though and I'll offer some suggestions I had teed up.

But for all your other info... happy searching and reading!

:stupid:

PS. Did I mention my Stagea is for sale? :D

So as for performance, a standard S1 Stag RS Four goes- 0-100 in just under 7 seconds

400m in 15 Seconds

Is that about what they do? As for a turbo upgrade, what would be a good upgrade for around 200-250 atw?

I did a search but It didnt come up with anything fot the 1/4 Miles of the Stags, SK, whats your best ET?

I use our Stagea for towing the race car, so I am unlikely to race the tow car. There is a video of an NZ Stagea posted up that does 11's. On the day of the video it did a best of 11.7 from memory.:rofl:

Thats still damn fast!!!!! Smoked that CRX!!  Anyone got any other vids of stags?

Hey, I have a clip of my Stagea racing a Legacy GT at AIR. It was only a 15.0 pass so it's probably not what you're after.

Anyway, here's a link to some further 1/4 mile info:

Hey guys, in reagrds to the turbo, for 250kw atw, would a HKS GT3040 Turbo be to big? What sought of ET's would I be looking at with power like this?

Low 12's:cheers:

PS; the turbo contributes about 10% (price and power) of the upgrades that you will need. You won't have much change out of $15K, plus the cost of the Stagea in the first place.

    • Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡
    • Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink 
    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
