Due to me and my partner finding out we have twins on the way we decided we needed a car thats more family suited so we started looking into wagons.
Previously owning all Holden's we firstly looked at Holden GenIII V8 wagons but decided with the rising petrol prices and being our main car a V8 isant
the best option.
I still wanted a car that had power there when i needed it but would also be a nice family cruiser so i headed down the road of turbocharged wagons. After researching various models (Legnum's, Liberty's, Stagea' ect) i decided a Stagea would be the perfect car for our needs so the search began.
After a few weeks of searching i found the perfect car! After taking it for a test drive and haggleing with the salesman the purchase was made and i took posession on my new toy only last week.

Looks great mate! Always liked the Stageas. There's a white one for sale just near my house, but it's an RB25NEO. =(
That third last pic looks like you have a bit of camber, especially at the rear!

Yeah the Autech's are pretty cool.. there was one at the importers where i brought my car from but was a little over the price braket i wanted to spend..
Overall im happy with the RB25 and if i keep the car for awhile might rip it out in the future and go a 30/26 or a 2JZ-GTE..
