Dear Santa

[AMS]

Hey Guys,

After talking to my Old man's accountant, we found out, that if I sell my Stagea within one year of owning it, I will have to pay capital gains tax. No thanks!

Although I do have one way of getting around it

With the car landing in Brisbane on Tuesday, the countdown has begun...and of course, no countdown is complete without a shopping list Let the spending begin...

- CGC Highflow

- R32/33 GTR FMIC

- Split Dump (already has Fujitsubo exhaust)

- DFA / IEBC

- Auto trans. Cooler

- SITC

- Bodykit (Prob. DAYZ)

- S2 Rear Lights

- Clear Indicators

- Pioneer Kevlar Splits

- Pioneer Headunit

- Dual Pioneer 12" Subs

- Velor Re-Trim

Thats probably about it for starters! I want a manual, but dont think I can justify the cost of it Hoping for 13's with that gear. Lemme know what you think

Cheers,

Chris

BTW: I have a few interested people for the Stagea, we may just have a sale yet

Mate, cant justify the manual, but it will make the car much better

Ditch these parts and you can/will afford it

- DFA (save 100+tune cost)

- Auto trans. Cooler (save ~200, ditch when manual)

- SITC (save 250+tune)

- Bodykit (Prob. DAYZ) (save ~1k+)

- S2 Rear Lights (save 500)

- Clear Indicators (save 250-300)

- Pioneer Kevlar Splits (save ~250)

- Dual Pioneer 12" Subs (save 700 as you need amp aswell)

- Velor Re-Trim (save what, 1k?)

Thats about 4k in NOT(opinionated opinion) needed stuff!

Manual conversion

GB - 1500 with shifter and transfer

std ecu with plug - 350

master/slave/lines/pedals - 500

labour - 700 or so for 2 days turnaround

..... thats with 1k change from your 4k spending spree.....

BTW if you dont mind me asking, for an L plater, where does your funding come from?

Ahhh! Your changing my mind Alex! Dont do that! It sounds soo tempting... velor re-trim $1000 :lol: Had one done to an FTO for $200 B)

OH God....here comes my lust for the S2 Manual again

[AMS]

Yeah thats always a topic for conversation B) My funding comes from the good ol' Golden Arches (yes yes McDonalds) I have worked my ass off for the past two years to be able to afford this stagea Plus I'm a crew trainer and I love working there, plenty of hours, OK money and loads of time to talk to your mates there

As we were discussing before, explain to me what exactly is wrong with not having a Power FC? I know you cant fine tune it, but its still ok to drive isnt it?

[AlexCim]

Its a standard ECU, i see that as being something "wrong" but its all subjective.

Can still use a standard ECU, no issues there. The PFC for me is just a logical step if i am changing the ECU

Do it once, do it right.

Yeah I can understand that, but take into account that I dont have THAT much money to through around....but if I do go for a manual, a PFC wont be far behind. Cheers Alex
