Looks very nice. What are your long terms plans for it then?

 

[TCJBOLDIE]

 

[SLEEPER]

no long term plans because its going to be a daily driver so it will be kept pretty standard (honestly ) besides I already have one stupid stagea .

 

[charger69]

looks like a chrysler... lol.

 

[SLEEPER]

Possibly but thats where the similarity ends.

Besides which chrysler do you mean ?

 

[charger69]

just saying it has that chrysler look with the grille in front.

 

[SLEEPER]

well Ive now done a thousand miles in it. No prroblems pther than its attaction to petrol stations

 

[T9 man]

I have a feeling that the petrol station issue can be suffered if the car gives you many smiles per miles Brian

 

[SLEEPER]

absolutley
I should really have said its a fact rather than a problem . After all theres no way a v6 turbo tiptronic with 300bhp and AWD was ever going to be economical in that body

 

[TCJBOLDIE]

Would the fuel consumption be any different if the motor in the car was a straight 6 the same capacity and power??

 

[SLEEPER]

to clarify we are talking 20ish mpg around town with obviously better on longer runs

The previous two stagea models were straight six single turbo . Early series one cars used the RB25 DET motor the later cars used the same block with the (alleged) better Neo head .

mpg isnt much different but the v6 has more low down punch but cant rev or produce the high range power the straight sixes do.
Then theres the twin turbo Rb26 fitted to the autech stagea . this is a completely different proposition .
